The Badaling section of the Ming Great Wall is known as the "Jade Pass Natural Barrier," one of the eight scenic spots of Juyongguan Pass during the Ming Dynasty. Badaling was the first section of the Ming Great Wall to be opened to tourists, renowned worldwide for its magnificent scenery, well-maintained facilities, and profound cultural and historical significance, making it a world-famous tourist destination. Climb the Great Wall, enjoy the scenery, and be a hero. Everyone visiting Beijing should climb the Great Wall at least once.
Absolutely worth a visit! Visiting Badaling any time of year or season is a dream come true; classic landmarks never go out of style, especially as it's a symbol of the Chinese nation's grandeur and indomitable spirit. Whether you drive, use public transport, or take a day trip, you can get there. There are many Great Wall sites around Beijing, but Badaling is undoubtedly the most representative and best-preserved. Various modes of transportation will take you to the scenic area's bus transfer station, from where there's a cable car, but most people prefer to climb. With the spirit of "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true hero," a photo on the Hero's Slope is full of energy; standing under the North Gate's key tower evokes contemplation; and finally, reaching the highest beacon tower, the moment you gaze upon the winding Great Wall stretching as far as the eye can see, the feeling of grandeur is indescribable.

It's pretty good. Although the price is not cheap, you can enter twice in two days, which is not bad. The iron flower show in the evening is worth seeing. It starts at 8 o'clock. You need to go early to reserve a seat, otherwise you will be in line at the back and can't see it.
It is convenient to buy tickets and the tickets are issued quickly, but the Daiwang Mansion is newly built, a bit like the Forbidden City, and it is not fully built. There is not much to see inside. When you go there, just take a photo outside and check in.

The sunset is beautiful, the alpine grassland is stunning, the scenic area is very convenient to drive by, the ticket is still a bit expensive, the scenery is still better in summer. Navigate to Tianci Grassland and drive all the way up. When you see the sign of Sky Grassland, go a little higher and you can watch the sunset. Remember to bring a down jacket
When Master Zhang contacted us one day in advance, he would tell us what you wanted to know. Thanks to Master Zhang's foresight, we successfully avoided the traffic jam. After the trip, the local food recommended by Master Zhang was also very good. Chartering a car really gives you a lot of freedom.

[View] Ulan Butong is a three-dimensional landscape blending grassland and forest, with elegant and beautiful Yin and soft in the south, masculine masculinity in the north, colorful feasts in the four seasons, humanistic and natural symphony of lakes and wetlands, and characteristics of biological diversity and multiple experiences.
The tourist highlights of Wulanbutong Grassland are rich and varied, covering natural landscapes, cultural history, special activities and food. The following is a detailed introduction:
Natural Landscape
- Vast grassland and diverse landforms: Wulanbutong Grassland is located in the Inner Mongolia Plateau, with an average altitude of 1,640 meters, and the grassland is vast. The eastern and central mountain ranges in the scenic area are continuous, and there are many sand dunes in the northwest. There are also wetlands, rivers, lakes, etc. For example, there are large areas of wetlands along the Wulan River and Jiangjun Paozi, with excellent vegetation and rich species.
- Colorful autumn colors of Wucai Mountain: From September to October every year, Wucai Mountain presents a colorful landscape due to its rich vegetation. The birch and poplar trees are yellow, the maple and oak trees turn red, the pines and cypresses are green all year round, and various shrubs are also of different colors, as if the palette has been overturned.
- European style scenery area: The rolling hills and grasslands are dotted with sparse or dense birch trees. The grassland and forest are perfectly integrated, and the scenery is charming, comparable to the European grassland scenery.
- Panlong Gorge: The Sarik River flows through the mountains and ridges in this valley. The steep banks are densely forested, and the valley bottom is covered with water and grass. The river is winding like a dragon for dozens of kilometers.
Humanities and History
- Ancient battlefield site: This was the ancient battlefield where Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty personally fought against Galdan. There are ruins such as General Paozi, Twelve Camps, and Tong Guogang's Tomb. It is said that General Paozi was formed by the gushing out of groundwater after the Qing army's artillery scattered Galdan's camel formation.
- Film and TV shooting base: Wulanbutong is a famous film and TV location shooting site. More than 60 film and TV works such as "My Fair Princess", "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of Han" were filmed here. There are many stone tablets of film and TV dramas in the scenic area, which has become a popular choice for tourists to check in.

The tour guide's explanation was lively and informative, allowing me to fully appreciate the unique charm of the Datong Museum. Datong is not only resplendent with its ancient architecture, but also its underground cultural relics. I was particularly struck by the museum's treasures, which were truly stunning.
Today was a fruitful day. Teacher Zhang Mi gave us a lively and interesting lecture, which gave us a deep understanding of Datong, Pingcheng, and the short but glorious Northern Wei Dynasty.

The scenery is really something. There are not many people on National Day, and it is very photogenic. The shuttle bus sometimes comes and goes, sometimes there is no one, which makes the experience a little worse. Everything else is good. In addition, the wind is very strong, so please be careful to keep warm.
It was a wonderful trip. Due to bad weather, we skipped other more distant grasslands and came to Hadamen instead. I didn't expect the grasslands to be so beautiful. It was just rainy on the way down. Why is Hohhot so rainy this year? It really dampened my interest in the trip.

Wanlong is also renowned in northern China. Its abundant number of slopes, impressive lengths and elevation differences, and impressive snow quality have made it a synonym for professional skiing. The resort is large, the cable cars are fast, and the crowds are quite high. It's suitable for beginners and above, with a wide selection of restaurants and comprehensive facilities. The only drawback is the high prices.
Amazing ski resort. Snow was kept in fantastic condition (considering it was 15c while we were skiing)

The Great Wall is definitely worth visiting, but it's definitely a test of your physical fitness and knees, so I'd recommend getting more exercise. The expansive views from the Great Wall are truly refreshing. There were also people from around the world climbing the wall with their national flags, including the Chinese five-star red flag 🇨🇳, which was quite impressive!

Despite its somewhat remote location, Yili Health Valley boasts a wealth of activities. During the National Day holiday, there were many interactive games and additional guided tours. The scenic area primarily features two areas: powdered milk and liquid milk. Guided tours offer a detailed understanding of the entire powdered milk or milk processing process. The well-designed circulation and affordable admission make it a worthwhile trip.
It was a fantastic day, a truly wonderful experience. I'm completely convinced Yili is a must-visit. It's a great place for both children and adults. This was one of the best memories of our first trip to Inner Mongolia.
