Another way to play the Great Wall is to live in a small courtyard and climb up to watch the clouds.

📍Lulu B&B P2-3 White house, small courtyard, terrace with a view of the Great Wall. We booked a family room. The decoration of the B&B was very OK, very chill and easy to photograph. The only drawback is that the yard is a little noisy in the morning and the B&B is still partially unfinished (although the construction didn't bother us). There is definitely a gap between service and star-rated hotels. 📍Youchi Courtyard Restaurant P6 Next to the B&B, you must go to the second floor. There are four lazy sofas on the tiled roof. You can lie down and watch the sky at will, and you can spend a whole afternoon. 😊The restaurant is not expensive and very popular. 📍Ogayamaya Cafe P7 How can people go from morning to night without coffee☕️ It opens at 10 o'clock in the morning, right in front of the B&B. It may not be that authentic, but it's iced American style 💰28 a cup. 📍Juyongguan Night Great Wall P4-5 I went to the Great Wall on May Day, avoided Badaling, and tried Juyongguan. The B&B is only 15 minutes away. It’s a great experience with so few people. I never thought the Great Wall would be so beautiful at night. The various performance lights have the feeling of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. The key point is that this place is not very commercial and the prices are friendly. There is a new McDonald's 🍔 in the parking lot 🅿️3. 🌟tips: There is no cable car in Juyongguan. You need to walk by yourself. There are steps. Some sections will be steep, but not long. I think most people can climb to the top. For reference, it took my 6-year-old child half an hour to reach the top. (Children can walk very fast and run very well!) 📍The commune at the foot of the Great Wall P8-9 Five minutes further up the road from the B&B, there is a bamboo house designed by Kengo Kuma, which was the filming location for "Shi Ming and Haru Jiao 2". The red house and Tongpu are both beautiful, and the vegetation in the commune is great. You can find big dandelions. There is also a small football field.
