Great Wall of China

Great Wall of China 

The Great Wall is not a single Wall. It is not visible from space, contrary to popular belief, as it is much too thin. But it remains a spectacular architectural and historical phenomenon.The Great Wall’s military importance, and its symbolic power, have varied widely in its long existence, as its place in Chinese life has shifted with the country’s history. It was initially constructed at the command of the first Emperor, from 221 BC, and was a combination of the various protective walls that had been built by the smaller states which he had conquered and merged to form China. The original Wall was made of pounded earth, and in places the wind-carved remains of this two thousand year old construction are still visible. But the Wall which is familiar to us today is the work of the Ming Dynasty, and its vast programme of reinforcement – prompted by a renewed threat from the Mongols in the north. In the 17th century, amazed Jesuits sent back reports to Europe about the Wall, and ever since it has held a powerful place in the imagination of the West. Some scholars argue that this in turn has shaped the modern Chinese appreciation of their astounding inheritance.

Three Way to Travel BaDaLin Great Wall

1 .滑车登城：靠近前山停车场，离公交车站最近的是滑车登城入口位于八达岭熊乐园内，滑车往返票价100元/人，单程60元/人，滑车登城属于“一半一半”类型，滑车只能到达北四楼剩下的需要徒步登城。
优点是一半滑车一半徒步，既体会到了登长城当好汉之感，又能节省时间，适合想爬长城但时间不是很充足的游客。
2 .徒步登城：前后山停车场之间，从公交车站步行前往约需15分钟，可选择南线或北线登城。登城后有南北两条线路，风光有所不同，南线登城的人较北线少。北线为环形路线有十二个台楼，先上到北八楼最高点后，下坡到熊乐园（熊乐园在北十楼附近）出口出。南线为往返线路，稍平缓，共有7台。根据喜好和安排进行选择，也可以南北线都选择，不过尽量先登南线原路返回再登北环线。
优点是全程徒步，真正的登长城做好汉；缺点是较为费时。下图为徒步登城的入口，“不到长城非好汉”的碑就在门前。
3 .缆车登城：位于后山停车场，只能搭乘缆车，缆车可直达长城景区北7楼附近，再够买门票登城，缆车往返票价100元/人，单程80元/人。
优点是不同视角俯瞰长城美景，节约时间；缺点就是体会徒步登城的机会较少。
