Hebei Chengde • Jinshanling Great Wall • "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man"

"He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." This little Great Wall, nailed it 🤏🏻! Let me share my Jinshanling Great Wall journey! The Jinshanling Great Wall is located in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province. It's considered one of the most magnificent sections of the Great Wall. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to drive there with friends. In just one afternoon, we witnessed the scenery change from cloudy to sunny and back to cloudy again by evening. We chose to take the cable car up to preserve our energy so we could walk more sections on the wall, experience this majestic structure, and enjoy the beautiful views. However, we later realized that if you have enough time, walking up is also an option, allowing you to enjoy the scenery while hiking. I recommend setting aside plenty of time for your visit. I believe it's not just about checking it off your list - personally walking each different path and stairway, learning about the history and function of each watchtower, and appreciating how the scenery changes with time and location makes the journey much more meaningful. Recommended Routes: [Route 1] (Recommended easy route, about 3 km): Entrance → Zhuanduokou → Shalingkou → Entrance Experience Jinshanling's distinctive barrier walls, horse-blocking walls, supporting walls, and beacon towers. Take photos from the same angle as the famous painting "Morning Light at Jinshanling." [Route 2] (About 4 km): Entrance → Zhuanduokou → Shalingkou → Small Jinshan Tower → Cable Car Station → Entrance Must-visit Big and Small Jinshan Towers - the name "Jinshanling" Great Wall comes from these! [Route 3] (About 5 km): Entrance → Zhuanduokou → Shalingkou → Houchuankou → Entrance Best photography spots at Jinshanling Great Wall. Here you can overlook the entire wall and take in all its magnificent views. 📍Hebei Chengde Jinshanling Great Wall 🎫: 65 yuan/person ⏰: 4:00-18:30 📌Travel Tips 🌟Best sunrise and sunset viewing spots: Big and Small Jinshan Towers 🌟Houchuankou to East Five-Eye Tower preserves the original appearance of the Great Wall.
