The views at the top of the platform were amazing. The ~2km trek up to the cable car station was scenic, perfect for families. Plenty of rest stops along the way. Our driver 孙志升 was a superb and safe driver. He even brought us some snacks and fruits for us to enjoy during the trek. Expect long climbs up and down the stairs. We spent about 3 hours in the area.

After the Great Wall Marathon we went with our guide Jimmy to the beautiful viewing platform. Jimmy was very helpful, always ready to give information about China in general and a lot of fun. His English was very good and he even spoke a few sentences in Dutch. I'd recommend Jimmy as a guide anytime!
