Great Wall at Jiayuguan! ❤️
FYI: Go to Jiayuguan Pass first. The ticket you get there is also valid for this site. (55¥)✌️
📍How to get there - If you don’t have a drive, taking a DiDi is the most convenient way to get to this site.
⭐️ Attraction - Great Wall of China 🇨🇳
This is my 3rd time seeing the Great Wall at different locations and this is my favorite one. Unlike Mutianyu in Beijing, this location is much quieter. Of course it isn’t as big, but it’s a great place to visit.
⏰ Recommended time - The stairs are quite steep and uneven so it might take you about 1.5 hours or so.
🥤 Food and drinks - Get a bottle of water/snacks before you start climbing the stairs.

First Time at the Great Wall
Who says you have to go to Beijing if you want to see the Great Wall of China?
Head over to Jiayuguan in Gansu province to visit the western end of the Great Wall!
It is a peaceful experience with much fewer tourists than you’ll find in Beijing 😌
I would say that the best time to visit is in the early morning when you can catch the tail end of the sunrise 🌅
Plus you will be able to avoid the hottest part of the day…believe me when I tell you you’ll work up a sweat after climbing all those stairs 🥵
I was lucky enough to have perfectly clear skies on my trip which made it all that more breathtaking
Check out the last photo - not a cloud in sight!
