Review & FAQ:

In Chinese history, Beijing was an ancient capital and one of the most strategic cities in the country’s northern region, and the construction and expansion of the Great Wall of China was ordered by various rulers over the centuries. Beijing contains 327 miles of its 5,500-mile length and has long been considered the best place to admire the Great Wall as its most prominent sections are located within the city’s suburban areas. This includes the well-maintained Mutianyu and Badaling, the renovated Simatai, Juyonguan, and Jinshanling, and the more rugged Gubeikou and Jiankou.
