2025 Luanping Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Jinshanling Great Wall, located in Chengde, Hebei Province, is a significant section of the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall, renowned for its well-preserved condition and dense watchtowers. Visiting Jinshanling is like a journey through time, allowing me to experience the grandeur and historical depth of this ancient wall firsthand. As I stepped onto this historic site, the winding wall stretched before me like a giant dragon lying between the green mountains. The watchtowers of Jinshanling vary in design, with many still retaining their original structures and traces. Standing atop these towers, one can take in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The wall is built along the steep mountain terrain, with its undulating lines harmonizing with the continuous mountain ranges, creating a majestic beauty that commands respect. Compared to other popular tourist spots, Jinshanling Great Wall is more serene and pristine. Climbing the stone steps, I felt the erosion of time and the marks of history with every step, as if tracing the footsteps of ancient warriors. Reaching the higher points and standing on the towers, the distant mountains and winding wall merge into one, creating a breathtaking scene that evokes awe. The morning sea of clouds and sunrise here are particularly unforgettable; when the sunlight pierces through the clouds and shines on the Great Wall, the scenery is as beautiful as a painting. The rugged terrain and exquisite architectural craftsmanship of Jinshanling make it a challenging yet poetic destination. This journey made me deeply appreciate that the Great Wall is not just a military defense line but a symbol of ancient wisdom and perseverance. Whether for its natural scenery or historical significance, the Jinshanling Great Wall is undoubtedly a magnificent journey worth cherishing.

This part of the Great Wall is known as a photographer’s paradise. It is very quiet and the surrounding scenery is spectacular. Located in Hebei Provence, it is about 2.5 hours from Beijing and only partially restored. Jinshanling is one of the best preserved parts of the wall and is a great hike up. It is open from 8am to 5pm and wonderful all year round. spring - for the blossoms summer - for the greenery autumn - for the leaves winter - for the snow It is about 10km long but only 5-6km are open to the public. I would suggest getting a private driver who will wait for you as it may prove difficult to call a cab willing to take you all the way into Beijing. A private driver is cost-effective if you’re traveling as a group. #gooutside #greatwall #hiking

Amazing part of the great wall. It is 2 hours away from Beijing, I’d recommend booking a tour. There are a few restaurants at the entrance of the wall (before getting on the cable car) or they sell ramen and snacks in the wall

I have to share with you my trip guide to the Great Wall of Jinshanling. It was an unforgettable experience! If you want to walk around this well-preserved section of the ancient Great Wall and feel its majesty, come and read this guide! ------ X. How much do you know about the Great Wall of Jinshanling? The Great Wall of Jinshanling, located in Bakshiying Town, Liping County, Chengde City, is part of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. This section of the Great Wall is 15 kilometers long, quite well preserved, and the scenery is superb. It is really a good place for hiking and exploring! Trip preparation: Before going to hike the Great Wall of Jinshanling, you must be well prepared! First, wear comfortable hiking shoes and sun protection clothes, as the mountain roads here are a bit bumpy and the UV rays are strong. Also, be sure to bring water, snacks, and simple first aid, just in case. Also, it’s best to buy tickets from official channels or third-party platforms a day in advance. Don’t queue up to buy them when you arrive. It’s a waste of time! Itinerary Route: The route of my trip was from the east gate. Once inside, you will see the Lookout Pavilion. From there, you can see the scenery far away. It's really nice! After that, I walked all the way west, passing the Hei Gu Building, the Great Wall Scenic Area of ​​Longshan Mountain, and many other attractions such as Shalingkou, Oriental Terrace, and Western Terrace. The scenery along the way is so beautiful, every step is like stepping on the footsteps of history. Among them, my favorites are the East Five Eyes Building and the Little Golden Hill Building! You can see the scenery from the East Five Eyes Tower far away, and the scenery at the top of the building is even more amazing. The Little Jinshan Building is one of the iconic buildings of the Great Wall of Jinshanling. The buildings are steep and steep. It takes a lot of effort to walk up, but the feeling of walking up is really worth it! Hiking Tips: 1. Be sure to warm up before hiking. Don't walk up on an impulse. It's easy to get injured. 2. Remember to replenish water and energy during the hike. 3. If you feel tired halfway through the walk, you can choose to take the cable car or slide down the mountain. Don't hold on hard. Safety first! Lunch and break: After the hike, I had an authentic farm meal at the restaurant at the foot of the hill. The dishes here are very special, such as stewed chicken, sticky cakes, wild vegetable soup, etc. It's really delicious! After eating, I took a seat at a nearby coffee shop and enjoyed the leisurely moments. Remember to be safe when hiking. While enjoying nature, you should also protect the environment! #February Good Places 2025

Chinatravel Jinshanling 🌄 | He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man There is a saying in China, "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." This saying vividly conveys the symbolic significance of the Great Wall in people's minds and the praise for those who conquer this great building! ⛰️ The Great Wall is a large-scale military defense project in ancient China. It is often referred to as one of the eight wonders of the world! The Jinshanling Great Wall in Luanping, Hebei, is the most well-preserved section of the Ming Great Wall in China, with profound historical value!

Jinshanling Great Wall, located in the Yanshan Mountains, is at its most magnificent in winter. When the morning mist has not yet dissipated, the seventy-two watchtowers are hidden in the silver-white ridges, like a dormant dragon shaking off its scales. The snow accumulates into icicles at the battlements, reflecting light like broken diamonds, contrasting with the frost flowers on the Ming Dynasty bricks and stones. The cold wind sweeps through the arrow windows, carrying the sound of the pine trees in the north, blending the sound of the horn from six hundred years ago into the cold. The snow outlines the bones of the city wall, and the rammed earth and stone slabs become more angular under the snow line. The rime hangs on the dead branches by the horse path, like a necklace of time. When the setting sun gilds the battlements, the winding city wall becomes a wild cursive script written by the earth, with each stroke being a dialogue between mountains, rivers, and time. As dusk falls, the reflected light of the snow flows between the watchtowers, like the unextinguished torches of the soldiers, still guarding this vast silence.

During Chinese New Year, our family embarked on an unforgettable journey to the Jingshanling section of the Great Wall of China. Known for its stunning views and relatively fewer crowds, Jingshanling offered the perfect balance of adventure and accessibility for our family of five, including our three energetic kids. The drive from Beijing took about two and a half hours, and the excitement in the car was palpable. As we approached the Jingshanling area, the rolling hills and ancient watchtowers came into view, setting the stage for what would be an incredible day. We started our hike early in the morning, hoping to cover as much of the wall as possible. Our youngest was initially a bit hesitant about the steep steps, but her curiosity quickly took over. The Jingshanling section is known for its well-preserved but rugged terrain, which made the hike both challenging and rewarding. We took our time, stopping frequently to admire the breathtaking views and snap photos of the wall snaking its way across the mountains. One of the highlights of the hike was reaching one of the many watchtowers along the way. The kids loved imagining what life must have been like for the soldiers who once stood guard there. The Jingshanling section is less crowded than other parts of the Great Wall, which made the experience even more special. We often found ourselves alone on the wall, surrounded by the vast landscape. It felt like we had stepped back in time, walking in the footsteps of history. By the time we reached the end of our hike, everyone was tired but exhilarated. The kids were proud of themselves for completing the hike, and we were proud of them for taking on the challenge with such enthusiasm. We capped off the day playing in the snow at the entrance. We also enjoying some local food at one of the restaurants and reflecting on the incredible experience we had just shared. Visiting the Jingshanling section of the Great Wall with kids was an adventure we'll never forget. It was a perfect blend of history, nature, and family bonding. If you're considering a trip to the Great Wall with your little ones, Jingshanling is definitely worth considering. Just remember to bring plenty of water, snacks, and a sense of adventure!

In the depths of winter, I traveled to the Jinshanling Great Wall, hoping to see a silver-white feast, but was greeted by the magnificent snowless scenery under the blue sky. In the early morning, the sunlight gilded the Great Wall, and the bricks and stones were mottled after years of weathering. As I climbed the steps, the cold wind blew on my face, and the crenels stretched and meandered like a giant dragon lying across the mountains. The watchtowers stood solemnly, and although they were not decorated with snow, they were simple and majestic. Looking into the distance from the hollow tower, the mountains were layered, and the dry branches outlined cold lines, which complemented the heaviness of the Great Wall. In the afternoon, I strolled along the wall, where light and shadow intertwined. Touching the cold wall, I seemed to feel the smoke of war in the past. The surrounding mountains and forests were silent, and the occasional cawing of crows added to the emptiness. The beacon tower stood alone on the peak, and when I climbed to the top and looked down, the momentum of "one man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it" came to me. The withered grass swayed between the bricks and stones, witnessing the change of seasons. In the evening, the afterglow dyed the Great Wall orange-red, and its outline became clearer. I returned with awe for history. The snowless deep winter of the Jinshanling Great Wall, with its vigorous and plain appearance, gave me a shocking time travel. Among these ancient bricks and stones, the stories of time never end.

Jinshanling Great Wall is located in Hebei Province. It was supervised and repaired by the famous Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang. As Jinshanling was on the front line, the density of watchtowers is the highest among all sections of the Great Wall. There are 158 watchtowers along the 20 km section. The architecture is ingenious, and the top of the wall is varied. It looks more beautiful than Badaling and Mutianyu, both in person and in photos. Whether viewed from afar or up close, the Great Wall is rugged and solid. Could the enemy really attack? Did it really need to be guarded so strictly? In fact, even the strongest fortifications could not withstand Wu Sangui. What could General Qi do? What could Jinshanling do? In the Qing Dynasty, construction of the Great Wall stopped. Emperor Kangxi believed that "the shape of the wall is difficult to rely on, and virtue is more important than danger."

The Jinshanling Great Wall is so beautiful that it was featured in National Geographic. The Jinshanling Great Wall is one of the top 10 places to see fall foliage in National Geographic.

Recommended hotels near Jinshanling About a 50-minute drive from Jinshanling Great Wall We chose the Crystal Series wedding. My favorite part was the crystal arrangement of our names, ying & Di. We chose blue and white for the wedding dress and Xiuhe, both from Gracekelly. There were about 28 tables. It was a bit cold in mid-October, but I really want to recommend this hotel a million times. The hotel has a bath, swimming pool, restaurant, and hotel all in one. Friends and family from Beijing can come here for a two-day, one-night vacation. The day before the wedding, you can enjoy the hotel's hot springs and spa, then happily attend the wedding, and spend an hour returning to Beijing. It's like a weekend trip and wedding all in one. The experience is great, without any stress or busyness. I also like that the hotel is surrounded by mountains. You can see the mountains from three sides of the hotel, especially in autumn. The colors are beautiful, and you can see the autumn scenery as soon as you open the window. For those who want to hold a wedding around Beijing, this is a treasure hotel with a high cost-performance ratio. Hotel recommendation

From Beijing, if you choose to drive, it takes about 2.5 hours to reach Jinshanling, which is very suitable for a day trip on weekends. If you take public transportation, it is recommended to stay overnight. Jinshanling Great Wall is also a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset. When the golden sunlight covers the entire Great Wall, the picture is simply amazing! There are not many restaurants nearby, you can bring some light food, or go to the farmhouse in the town to taste delicious food on your way back.

Regret coming to Jinshanling Greatwall so late in the afternoon. Should be at the foothill by 10am for a good whole day trip as there are plenty of deals you can enjoy here, eating and shopping for souvenirs and top it off with cable car rides to the mountain top to experience the Great Wall. This 5A attraction is excellent for a trip for family or those who enjoy hiking and challenging the two feet. Admire the beauty of mountainous ridges and breathtaking scenery. The great walls are awesome in its ruggedness.
