Great Wall Travel Reviews

I wanted to go to Jinshanling Great Wall also, but I didn't want to take a tour and I wanted to see if I could get there myself.

Hi, I have just finished my Beijing trip with my family. Overall the trip was fun except for our experience in Badaling Great Wall trip. We took the public bus 919 to the Badaling.
