点评:Beat the crowds with an early AM start.
Caught a taxi direct from Beijing about 1h (260 CNY) and arrived at 06.30am - open time in peak season.
There is a free “blue” shuttle coach bus to take you up to the main entry point - as about 1.5 kms away from parking lot.
We were close to first visitor entry to the wall by 7pm - two options Badaling North (most popular and used by tour bus groups) and Badaling South.
We went south initially and climbed to tower 4 for great views and very limited tourists. There was a limestone stair option at the back of the wall to take you back to the entry point which we used. Very slippery coming back down the wall. Learnt a lot about wall construction on way back down and nice views.
Decided to also climb north section to tower 3 at 8.30am but way way too touristy by this stage.
There are two cable car options both to towers 7 north and south. You can buy a ticket on the wall, if you didn’t pre book. Alot of tourists catching cable cars (large line ups) to the towers by round trips — good option if not able to do steep walking on the wall.
There’s a few eateries and tourist shops at the entry area.
Caught the HSR from nearby Badaling terminal back to Beijing in 25 mins
We counted over 60 tourist coaches on our departure at 9.30am.
All in all great experience but get in early.
翻译:一大早就出发,避开拥挤的人群。
从北京直接打车约 1 小时(260 元人民币),6:30 到达——旺季开放时间。
有免费的“蓝色”穿梭巴士可以带您前往主入口——距离停车场约 1.5 公里。
晚上 7 点,我们接近了第一个进入长城的游客——两个选择:八达岭北站(最受欢迎,旅游巴士团使用)和八达岭南站。
我们首先向南走,爬到 4 号塔,那里的景色很棒,游客也很少。长城后面有一条石灰石楼梯可以带您回到我们使用的入口。从长城下来时非常滑。在回程途中学到了很多关于长城建造的知识,风景也很好。
决定在早上 8:30 爬到北段到 3 号塔,但此时游客太多了。
有两种缆车可供选择,分别通往北边和南边的 7 号塔。如果您没有提前预订,您可以在长城上买票。很多游客乘坐缆车(大排长队)往返塔楼——如果无法在陡峭的长城上行走,这是一个不错的选择。
入口处有几家餐馆和旅游商店。
从附近的八达岭终点站乘坐高铁 25 分钟返回北京
我们早上 9:30 出发时,数了数有 60 多辆旅游大巴。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验,但要尽早到达。
