Badaling Great Wall, standing on the Jundu Mountain Ridge in Beijing’s Yanqing District, is the essence of the Ming Great Wall, renowned for its majestic and expansive grandeur. Its walls are tall and imposing, with strategically placed watchtowers, and beacon towers guard the mountain peaks like giant beasts. Every brick is engraved with the weight of history. At the Juyongguan Pass, stone inscriptions record the fame of “Juyongguan, the First Pass Under Heaven,” while “Hao Han Po” is steep and perilous, testing the perseverance of climbers. From the summit, you can overlook the mountains, like waves, and the clouds and mist, creating a sense of tranquility and delight.
