One of the seven wonders of the new world: the Great Wall of China - Jinshaling Edition

There are tons of epic sections along the Great Wall of China 🇨🇳, but my absolute fave has to be the Jinshanling section. Seriously, if you want to experience breathtaking views and fewer crowds, this spot is a game-changer! 🏞️ Nestled in Hualougou Village, Bakshiying Town, Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, the Jinshanling Great Wall is totally unreal. It’s like walking straight into a history book—except the views are 10x more insane! The watchtowers and winding paths are sooo photogenic, you’ll be snapping pics non-stop 📸. Heads up on the details so you don’t miss out: - Address: Hualougou Village, Bakshiying Town, Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province - Opening Hours: - Mar 15–Mar 31: 5:00–18:00 (last tickets/admission at 17:00) - Apr 1–Oct 31: 4:00–18:30 (last tickets/admission at 17:30) - Nov 1–Mar 14: 6:00–17:00 (last tickets/admission at 16:00) - Admission Fee: ¥62 You can get there easily by bus offered from the government of China. The tour costs around 30€. Bookable via WeChat. Get help from the locals to book your ticket as the website is only available in mandarin. Travel tip: The sunrise here is next-level magical (even worth waking up at 4 a.m. for, trust me!!). Bring good shoes and lots of water, because this wall is a workout! 😂 If you’re ready for legendary vibes, unbeatable panoramas, and that ultimate “I’m-on-the-Great-Wall” moment, Jinshanling is THE place. Don’t forget to grab your tickets via trip.com for a smooth adventure! This section of the wall is truly one of the seven wonders you have to experience at least once in your life. 🤩 Don’t forget to interact with the locals ☺️ Enjoy the free spirit and nice conversations with them. #jinshaling #greatwallofchina #visitchina🇨🇳 #meetinglocals

Jinshanling Great Wall

Hidden Majesty at the Jinshanling Great Wall 🌄🏞️ For those who crave breathtaking views and a truly authentic slice of history, Jinshanling in Luanping is a dream come true. This wild, less-restored stretch of the Great Wall stuns with dramatic scenery and, best of all, you’ll find far fewer tourists than the typical hotspots! 🧭 The perfect route starts at the main gate in Hualougou Village and follows the walkway towards the unrestored sections—between the East Five-Window Tower and the Small Jinshan Tower. Get ready for a climb: the wall is steep and rugged here, so sturdy shoes are a must! The tranquility here makes for an unforgettable walk, where crumbling watchtowers and endless views offer endless photo ops. Aim for sunrise or late afternoon for golden light and misty mountains—those iconic, insta-worthy moments are yours for the taking. Must-do: Stop at the General Tower for sweeping panoramas, and don’t miss the eastern ridge, where the unrestored wall and wild nature blend for hauntingly beautiful shots. Sit for a moment and soak it all in—this is the Great Wall at its rawest. Practical tips: Bring snacks and water—facilities are limited out on the wall. Admission is ¥62, and opening hours vary by season. From April to October, gates open as early as 4:00 AM, so you can beat the crowds (and the heat) if you arrive early. Watch your step: the unrestored sections can be uneven and slippery, especially after rain. #Luanping #JinshanlingGreatWall #AdventureTravel #HiddenGems #HikingChina
