Juyongguan Great Wall Spring Flower Viewing

Best route to visit Juyongguan Great Wall: Drive or take a taxi to the P3 parking lot, start from the North Gate Tower, and head to Enemy Tower No. 14. The Western Hills section of the Great Wall is steep, with high altitude and beautiful scenery. The Eastern Hills section is relatively gentle, suitable for taking photos of the flower sea and the small train. There is no cable car at Juyongguan, you have to walk the whole way. Towers 14-13-12 are the steepest and most scenic sections of the entire Juyongguan route, so climb this part when you have the most energy and stamina. Tower No. 12 is the peak, then descend, which is also quite steep, all the way down to Tower No. 7. Here is the South Gate Tower, as well as other attractions such as the Biaozhong Temple, Stele Forest, City God Temple, and museum. Due to time constraints, we didn't stay long and went directly to the Eastern Hills section of the Great Wall. If you are not in good physical condition, you can end your visit here and see the above attractions. Continue east from the South Gate Tower, which is the east line, starting from Tower No. 6, crossing the reservoir and going up until you reach the East Arrow Tower, which is the peak, then descend all the way down to Tower No. 1, and return to the starting point, the North Gate Tower. Go down from the tower to see the Zhenwu Temple. After leaving the scenic area, walk south and use your ticket to visit the Cloud Platform. This Yuan Dynasty building has extremely high artistic value and is a must-see. Exit the Cloud Platform and you will arrive at the P3 parking lot. This concludes the tour. The entire loop covers both the west and east lines, without backtracking. It takes about 5 hours.
