The Great Wall of China, or literally known as Chang Cheng (长城) as we already is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. During the trip to Beijing, the section that we visited was the Badaling section. To reach the Badaling section, take the subway train Line 2 to Ji Shui Tan （积水谭）. From there, exit the station and turn left. Walk for about 5 minutes to the bus station and take a ride on the bus 919. It cost you only 12 yuan (RM6) for a ride. The journey will take about 40-60minutes depending on the traffic. As you reach there, you can choose to take a cable car ride or walk up ( I suggest that you walk up)..hehe
That's the ticket I bought to walk up aka mini hiking. It cost us 45 yuan (RM22.50) as the entrance fees.
Plum Blossom trees all over the mountains at the entrance
An easy walk up at the beginning..
Unfortunately, it was very foggy on that day.

One World One Dream! Beijing Olympic 2008..
Personally I do not think it is a good idea to erect this up by the Great Wall of China as it will affect the aesthetical value of the surrounding of the Great Wall of China.
We need to walk up the stairs to some of the section of the Great Wall
That's me touching the millennial years old wall
Half way up..love the view!
Steep stairway

Lots of visitors daily. I was considered lucky as I visited it on the normal weekday
That's the gold plate I bought after reaching the 888m of the Badaling section
BELOW Will be more of my photographic view of the Great Wall of China
ENJOY!
And remember to take this sliding car down to the base of the Great Wall..you will have the sensation of riding a roller coaster down there
That's all for now...Check out for the next post on Summer Palace!
