Jinshanling Great Wall Travel Guide - Take Amazing Photos on the Empty Wall

🏯Jinshanling Great Wall was rated the most beautiful Great Wall by National Geographic. 🌟Highlights: This section of the Ming Great Wall is well-preserved, and the scenic area is well-maintained and clean. The wall is tall and the watchtowers are dense, making it look like a castle in photos. 📍Address: Bakeshiying, Luanping County, Chengde City (near Gubei Water Town) 🗓Itinerary: The scenic area has an east line and a west line. The east line is longer and more beautiful. We recommend 4 classic east line routes: ①Middle Gate Entrance ➡ Zhuangdaokou ➡ Shalingkou (1.5 hours) ②Middle Gate Entrance ➡ Zhuangdaokou ➡ Shalingkou ➡ Xiaojinshan Tower Cable Car (2 hours) ③Middle Gate Entrance ➡ Zhuangdaokou ➡ Shalingkou ➡ Xiaojinshan Tower ➡ Houchuankou (2.5 hours) ④Middle Gate Entrance ➡ Zhuangdaokou ➡ Xiaojinshan Tower ➡ Houchuankou ➡ East Wuyan Tower ➡ East Gate ➡ Shuttle Bus to Middle Gate (4 hours) 🚉Transportation: Drive to Jinshanling Great Wall. It takes about 2.5 hours from downtown Beijing. The roads are wide and easy to drive on. 🏨Accommodation: We recommend staying one night. The next morning, you can wait for the sunrise and morning mist. The Great Wall in the morning has a hazy beauty. Jinshanling Hotel and the nearby farmhouses are in great locations. They are right next to the ticket gate. After checking in, you can drive directly to the hotel and avoid the shuttle bus. 💰Ticket Price: CNY 55 per person, cable car one-way CNY 40, round-trip CNY 60 per person
