Juyongguan Great Wall: Echoes of History Amidst Millennia of Beacon Smoke

It's that time of year again when the Juyongguan flower sea train is incredibly popular.🔥 However, the most popular viewing platform, Wooden Plank Road No. 2, is extremely crowded, with good viewing and photo spots occupied early by photography enthusiasts. Consider entering the Juyongguan Great Wall scenic area, where I recommend a hidden spot. 🔻[Inside Juyongguan Great Wall] Recommended Viewing Location Enter the scenic area and walk directly towards the right side of the Great Wall. You'll quickly reach a viewing spot [Beacon Towers 3, 4, or 5 offer similar views] where you can also see the flower sea train. It was a happy accident, an unexpected gain. After capturing the "Double Dragons Emerging from the Cave" (two trains passing each other) at 1:50 pm, descend and head towards the opposite side of the Great Wall. 🔻[Wooden Plank Road] Recommended Viewing Platform Locations (Open from March 24 this year, and not within the Juyongguan Great Wall scenic area, so don't go to the wrong place) ☑️Viewing Platform No. 1 offers close-up views of the train; ☑️Viewing Platforms No. 2/4 (Beijing-bound train) are the best spots for viewing the S-bend, and for watching the two trains crossing, which happens twice daily, the first time around 11:55–12:00, and the second around 13:45–13:50. ☑️Viewing Platform No. 3 (Yanqing-bound train) is the best spot for viewing the C-bend. 🚞Approximate Times for the S2 Train Beijing-bound: 9:22, 10:44, 11:55, 13:50, 15:40 Yanqing-bound: 10:00, 12:00, 13:40, 14:20 🚗Transportation: Bus: Take Bus No. 919 from Deshengmen to Juyongguan Great Wall Station Car: Navigate to "Juyongguan Flower Sea," parking is recommended in Parking Lot No. 1 or 2 🎫Juyongguan Great Wall scenic area tickets cost 45, If you're going to the Wooden Plank Road, it's outside the scenic area and free of charge. 🔻Photography Tips This shoot used a 24–70mm lens.
