ESCAPE the crowd at Jinshanling Great Wall

Rubbing your eyes? This is Summer Holidays in China but if you want a photo at the greatest monument built in China, with nobody inside but you, then look no further than this! From Beijing, get a driver to pick you up and drive to this great wall at Chengde, Hebei. You could even stay at a hotel here for a night, it is beautiful and restful. Otherwise, you need at least half a day to do this, and reach Beijing at night. There is a cableway to take you all the way up to the wall, and you just need to walk about 10min to reach the first tower to access it. Photos here look great, and the air is fresh and pleasant. Climb a bit and you get to rest in the many towers along the way. You have to reach the cableway by 430pm as that's when it closes and you've to find your own way down! #greatwallofchina #jinshanling #selfiespot #beijing #chinalife
