How to Get There

You haven't come to China if you haven't visit The Great Wall. The Great Wall is one of 7 Wonders of the World which located in Huairou, China. To get there, you can take tour bus from Beijing Central City or you can reach it by public transportation. The Great Wall has three main segments which accessable by tourists, there are Badaling, Mutianyu and Simantai. Badaling is the best preserved and reconstructed that's why this segment is always crowd by tourists especially in weekend. So, I decide to visit Badaling.

I take public bus number 800 from Beijing South Railway Station to Deshengmen then continue by bus number 919 to Badaling Great Wall. Need 3 hours trip to arrive at The Great Wall.
