－ Attraction Introduction －
・Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is located at the northern entrance of the Jundu Mountain Guangou Ancient Road in Yanqing District, Beijing. It is an important part of the Great Wall, the great ancient Chinese defense project, and serves as a pass of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. Badaling was a vital outpost of Juyongguan Pass, and it was said in ancient times that 'the danger of Juyongguan lies not in the pass itself, but in Badaling.'
The Badaling section of the Ming Great Wall is known as the 'Jade Pass Natural Barrier' and is one of the eight scenic spots of Juyongguan in the Ming Dynasty. Badaling was the first section of the Ming Great Wall opened to tourists. The Badaling Scenic Area is centered on the Badaling Great Wall and has built modern tourism service facilities with complete functions, such as the Badaling Hotel and the China Great Wall Museum, which was inscribed by President Jiang Zemin.
The Badaling Scenic Area is a national model for civilized scenic spots, renowned worldwide for its magnificent landscape, perfect facilities, and profound cultural and historical significance. It is a world-famous tourist destination.
