What To Expect
The Great Wall at Badaling
Great Wall is the very symbol of ancient Chinese engineering. The Badaling section is a prime, preserved example of this colossal structure. Since Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - 476 BC) and Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC), Badaling became a very important military strategic place Many incomplete parts of the wall were proved to be built in the Warring States Period. Here you will have the opportunity to climb up either the North or South Face of the Wall.
Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling)
Ming Tombs, burial grounds to 13 of the 16 Ming emperors. Only three of the tombs are actually open for viewing. Changling, the earliest and largest of the tombs, dates from the year 1413. We will explore the largest of the excavated burial sites, the Changling Tomb, which is divided into three separate, impressive courtyards.

Strange and bad tour. You...

3.00Strange and bad tour. You get what you pay for. I did a tour with Jenny. She wasn't mean, but she was pushy in weird ways. She asked us if we wanted to go see an acrobatics show after the tour, and we said no, but she kept bringing it up. Maybe 10 more times (not exaggerating), she brought up the show and how she thought we should go, and we kept saying no, but it took a very long time to convince her that we didn't want to do it. She was also pushy in other ways too, but I can't remember anymore - writing this review a few days later. You can definitely visit the wall for a great price on this tour, but there's a good chance you won't vibe with the tour guide who takes you there.
