Another day at Great Wall

Introduction - The Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders of the world, is a dream for many to visit. Badaling is the site of the most visited section of the Great Wall of China, approximately 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of Beijing's city center, in Yanqing District (within Beijing municipality). The portion of the wall running through the site was built in 1504 during the Ming Dynasty, along with a military outpost reflecting the location's strategic importance. The highest point of Badaling is Beibalou, approximately 1,015 meters (3,330 ft) above sea level. Getting There - You can easily get there from your hotel or motel in Beijing by bus, app based cabs. Railway is another way though, used by locals. Attractions- Actually the great wall itself is an attraction. The locals visit and walk up the great wall highest point. There is also system of going through cable cars if you think it would be exhausting. Badaling and the expressway were the site of the finishing circuit of the Urban Road Cycling Course in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Laps of the circuit passed through gates in the wall. #tripblazers#bucketlistreboo#mytripvlog #lifeinchina
