Badaling National Forest Park and Badaling Great Wall Fall Foliage One Day Tour - Beijing China Tour Operator

Pick from your hotel in Beijing around 8:00am and drive to Badaling National Forest Park . The Badaling Forest Park is next to the Badaling Great Wall, and the leaves in the park turn red about half a month earlier than that in the urban Beijing. People can find the whole mountain is covered all over by colorful leaves. The Great Wall is also overshadowed by green cypresses and red maples. The red leaves scenic area occupies an area of 65 hectares. The altitude there is 500 meters higher than downtown Beijing, making the place cooler in autumn and the leaves here are easier to turn red. People find that late September to October as the best time to see red leaves in the Badaling Mountain.

After lunch, move on to the Badaling Great Wall , which is known for its imposing magnitude. The wall here averages 7.8 meters in height and has a width of 5.7 meters at the top and 6.5 meters at the base. The walkway on top is 4.5 meters wide, making it possible for five horses or ten soldiers to march abreast. It is one of the most gorgeous and magnificent part of the Great Wall in Beijing. The Badaling Great Wall is the well preserved Ming Dynasty Great Wall with original appearance. Now it is divided into two sections - east and west. Most people climb the east section since the east part looks more fantastic. So your hike on this tour is focused on the east section of the Badaling Great Wall for 2-3 hours. The cable way is available and optional. After the hike, then drive back to your hotel in downtown Beijing.
