Slide down the Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China, a world wonder with over 2,000 years of history, is a must-see attraction, stretching over 3,000 miles across northern China and standing as one of the most impressive ancient structures in the world.šŸ³ļø There are many sections of the wall you can visit some restored and others not including: 1. Badaling 2. Mutianyu 3. Jinshanling 4. Juyongguan 5. Gubeikou 6. Jiankou Badaling is the most famous one. As a result, it is often very crowde and unpleasant. Through me experience the most fun section to visit for the first time is the Mutianyu section. Mutianyu Great Wall provides stunning views of the Great Wall and nearby hills with fewer tourists compared to Badaling. It also offers an exciting toboggan run to slide from the Wall's top to the hill's bottom. Yes, slide your way down from the wall. šŸ˜® Hiking Plans:šŸŽæ 1. It has 23 watchtowers, and hiking the entire trip takes about 4 hours, requiring excellent physical strength. 2. Most tourists opt to take the cable car to tower 14 and hike a portion of the trail before descending by cable car or sliding down from tower 6. Wheelchair-friendly:ā™æļø There is a cable car for wheelchair users ascending the wall and ramps to a platform below the 14th watchtower, from which you can appreciate the beautiful scenery from the Great Wall. Prices and timetable:šŸ’°ā³ļø Opening hours summer: 7:00 - 17:00 Opening hours winter: 9:00 - 16:30 Ticket: CNY 40 There are two ways to go up and down the wall: 1. Cable Car:šŸš  Take a box cable car up to the No. 14 Watchtower. Single Trip: CNY 100 Round Trip: CNY 140 2. Chairlift / Toboggan:šŸ› Take a chairlft to the top and the toboggan down from No. 6 Watchtower. (RECOMMENDED) Single Trip: CNY 100 Round Trip: CNY 140 How to get there (around 1.5 hours from Bejing): 1. Taxi-Didi:šŸš– Price: CNY 210-260 Time: 55 minutes 2.Train+taxi:šŸš†šŸš– There is no direct train, but you can take a train from Bejing Railway station to Huairou. (About CNY 12.5, time needed 1 hour) and then from there you can take a taxi. (Needs 20 minutes and cost around CNY 70-90). 3.Bus:šŸš There are many buses that go close to the great walls, like 916 and 867. Price: CNY 16 Time: 2.5 hours 4. My Recommendation:šŸ‘” Traveling alone may cause troubles like language barriers, queuing for tickets, and finding the best routes.Taking public buses in China's countryside is challenging due to overcrowding and lack of English communication. I suggest that taking a group tour is cheap and convenient. There are unlimited choices of tours in the Great Wall. Trip.com tour is one of the best of those choices.
