The Great Wall is not only limited to Badaling, where you can enjoy the entire Great Wall alone

Tired of crowded tourist experiences but still want to witness the grandeur of the Great Wall with your own eyes? 👇 This place is worth adding to your itinerary 📝 📍Shuiguan Great Wall Part of the eastern section of the Badaling Great Wall, this is one of the finest sections of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. Starting from the Arrow Tower, it forms a V-shape, built along the mountain terrain, walking on cliffs ⛰️ Although not as famous as the Badaling Great Wall, and the road conditions are different from the gentle slopes of Badaling, But❗️ the scenery here is no less than Badaling, and there are very few tourists, giving you the illusion of having the entire Great Wall to yourself 🙈 The Shuiguan Great Wall is known for its uniqueness, danger, steepness, and sturdiness, making it a paradise for hiking and adventure enthusiasts. Climbing here, every step tests your courage and physical strength 🤭 Some slopes here are nearly vertical, which is rare among the many Great Wall scenic spots in Beijing❗️ But the view when you look back is definitely worth it 👍 The Arrow Tower is majestic, and the wall winds along the mountain terrain, like a giant dragon soaring through the clouds 🐉 marveling at the miraculous creativity of the ancients. If you also want to experience the feeling of having the entire Great Wall to yourself, consider the Shuiguan Great Wall, and immerse yourself in the heroic spirit of "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man" 🤗 Other tips The Arrow Tower starts and is divided into two sections, east and west. The west section has five enemy towers, with a steep slope, but very challenging 🧗 reaching the top, you can see the rare "human-shaped" Great Wall (Figure 4) The east section has two enemy towers, with only the beginning being steep, and the rest is mostly gentle slopes. Overall, the intensity is moderate, the experience is great, and having the entire Great Wall to yourself allows you to calmly appreciate this historical miracle. 📍Shuiguan Great Wall 🎫35/person 🏡About accommodation To climb the Great Wall, we chose to stay at the Commune by the Great Wall at the foot of the Great Wall.
