When visiting the Badaling Great Wall, most people will encounter a problem, that is, there are pulleys, cableways, and ground cables on the Great Wall. How to choose? Which is more suitable for you?

What is a cableway?

The next stop of the Badaling North Line cableway starts at the inner end of the Guntiangou parking lot and stands at the "Haohanpo" on the eighth floor of the North Wall. The North Line cableway is the first single-line circulating detachable passenger cableway in New China. Tourists can take the North Line cableway in 8 minutes. You can go directly to "Haohanpo" and climb the highest peak of the Badaling Great Wall. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Look east at the Ming Great Wall beacon tower, which is close at hand, and look north at the Beijing-suburbs Haiyan Peak, which cuts clouds and breaks the fog.

The waiting hall is spacious and comfortable and can accommodate more than 1000 people waiting at the same time. The station tunnel is 199 meters long and can accommodate 500 tourists waiting at the same time. Climb the Great Wall by taking the North Line cableway, and you can quickly climb the highest peak of the Badaling Great Wall-Haohanpo. It is suitable for people going to the Great Wall, but it is not recommended for those with chronic diseases such as fear of heights and high blood pressure.

What is a cable car?

The next stop of the Badaling ground cable car starts opposite the Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall and stands on the south fourth floor, the best viewing point of the Badaling Great Wall. The south fourth floor is the highest point of the Nanfeng Great Wall. The carriage uses panoramic skylight, which has remarkable sightseeing effects and the highest running speed. With a speed of 8 meters per second, it is also the only ground cable car line in North China, which will provide tourists with a new form of sightseeing experience. It is also the most safe way to climb the city. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and taking care of children. However, the only drawback is that it only goes south of the Great Wall.

What is a pulley?

The Great Wall's sled (also known as a slide) is a flatbed trolley with tracks that slides down by gravity. There is a joystick in front of it that can brake and control its speed. People sit on it and are open.

Which is more suitable for you?

Many tourists often confuse cableways and ground cables

Cablecar is a general term or general name for equipment that uses steel rope traction to achieve the purpose of transporting people or goods. The route selection of the cable car should avoid excessive fluctuations in the ramp (suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and relatively stable)

The cableway is a kind of drop-off cabin. It is completely enclosed and the cableway is not dangerous. (But if you are afraid of heights, it is not recommended to sit.)

Young people often sit on the slide, so you can try those who like to play exciting games (but the Badaling Great Wall has temporarily stopped operating)

Departure for Badaling Great Wall

I wanted to go to the Great Wall in the most comfortable position, and now there is a shuttle bus that allows people to rest!

It's another good time of the year. Spring is beginning. It's the season when everything comes to life. It's also the best time for spring outing and mountain climbing. Although Beijing is still a little cold now, it can't stop my children from climbing the Great Wall. After searching a lot on the Internet, I stumbled across a through train called "Bus to BUSDA". I tried to search, and there was indeed one. I placed an order-ready to go.

Their adult price is: 120 yuan including tickets and fares, and 40 yuan for children

Because I still have children and elderly people, and I live far away from the assembly, I chose the second train at 10 o'clock (there is another train at 8 o'clock in the morning, so you can choose freely)

Gathering point: Subway Beitucheng Station Exit C

It's a real through train for the common people. It's so convenient, the tour guide is very considerate, and the car is very clean. After getting on the bus, everyone is happy immediately.

Real pure play without shopping. There is no rush for a 4-hour tour of the Great Wall. It is really professional and comfortable. It is comfortable, and it also has a stop in the Olympic Center area on the return trip (people who come out really recommend the choice. It is convenient, fast and worry-free)

time to eat

It was nearly noon when I arrived at my destination, so I took the old and young to prepare for dinner. There were quite a variety of varieties and the price was acceptable.

Enjoy the beautiful pictures

Travel summary

The process of climbing the Great Wall was omitted because I took the old and the young. I thought it would be quite difficult, but fortunately, the tour guide helped me a lot. I really appreciate the bus to the through train. I don't want to bother if I want to go. I really don't want to try this through train.
