The Badaling Great Wall is located at the northern entrance of Ganggou Ancient Road in Jundu Mountain, Yanqing District, Beijing. It is the best‑preserved and earliest‑opened core section of the Ming Great Wall, and has been an important outpost of Juyongguan since ancient times. It is also listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Juyongguan in the Ming Dynasty under the name "Jade Pass Heavenly Moat", and is the quintessential landmark of the Great Wall. With sturdy city walls, numerous watchtowers, and the China Great Wall Museum and comprehensive tourism facilities, visitors can not only experience the millennium‑old military defence heritage, but also immerse themselves in the majestic grandeur of this World Heritage site.

When climbing the Great Wall, there is no need to worry about steep steps or running out of energy. With the cable car, you can easily reach the high vantage points, say goodbye to crowded crowds, and save time and effort while enjoying the majestic winding dragon‑like vista. The cable car glides through the air, offering a panoramic view of the lush green mountains and the magnificent Great Wall — see the grandeur and awe‑inspiring beauty of the Great Wall from a different perspective, making your journey more comfortable and your sightseeing more enjoyable.

"He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." Tower 8 at the north of Badaling is the highest watchtower, also known as the "Sunrise Viewing Platform", located over 1,500 metres from the pass. It offers the best vantage point for a panoramic view of the Great Wall. Hiking up would require great physical effort, but the cable car takes you directly to the summit, allowing the elderly, children, and visitors with limited stamina to easily reach the top and check in at this legendary hero site, personally witnessing the truth of this famous saying that has spread across the world.

One ticket unlocks a thousand‑year‑old majestic pass, and one cable car ticket elevates your sightseeing experience.
