The Great Wall of Beijing was
listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987. Some locals there say, if
you have not climbed the Great Wall then you are no man. It is a most
spectacular man made construction built by several Chinese dynasties. It is
believed to have been built by Han Chinese to keep away the invaders from the
Chinese border. The first emperor Qin used millions of men for building the
wall without any help of machines. Then during the Han dynasty towers were
built taller for a better view and the wall was extended more through the Gobi
desert. During Ming dynasty more watch towers came up. The wall was used for
military purpose to send and receive messages through smoke and fire. With such
an exotic history behind it who would not want to visit the Great Walls of
Beijing at least once in their life time.
Go exploring The Great Wall through a tour company
You may explore the exotic Great
Wall on your own, but that would be just experiencing the adventure half
heartedly. To get a proper tour you need to go through an experienced tour
company which will take you on the marvelous tour around without missing out on
essential points. The most famous sections of the Great Wall include the
Badaling, Shixiaquan, Huanghuacheng, Mutianyu, Jiankou, Gubeikou, Jinshanling
and Simatai. These eight sections of the Wall are open for tourists and
visitors. These areas are renovated and some are still under renovation. Rest
of the Wall is as it is in its original state and is not open to the tourists. Greatwall Hiking Beijing is a great way to
explore the beauty and exotic view from the Wall. There are many nice and
worth seeing places and the maximum benefit can be taken from the tour company,
no one can guide you as well as they can.
Exploring the Great Wall is a lifetime experience by itself
The most important section of the
Great Wall is the Badaling. You get to see deep routed culture, the breath
taking sights and the military layout around here. It is most visited site so
is generally very crowded. One should try to visit as early as possible.
Mutianyu is also a very beautiful site and has lesser tourist inflow. You get
to enjoy the picturesque beauty of the place at leisure. To get a view of the
original section of the Wall you need to visit Simatai and Gubeikou. You get to
feel the strength and wilderness of the primitive walls here. Huanghuacheng and Jiankou sections are for the
more daring and adventurous ones. You may stumble upon steep peaks and broken
bricks. You need to be fully geared up in your mountaineering outfit to visit
these sections. Jinshanling and Shixiaquan are very beautiful and picturesque,
trailing through stunning mountains and meeting the sea. You may enjoy all
these moments of history and beauty through Greatwall Hiking Beijing and relive
the times of ancient Chinese dynasties and enjoy the view of mountains, desert
and sea at same time.
