How to go Great Wall of China in Badaling;

Beijing North Stn Depart (S209 1057H) Leave (S222 1621H) 6CNY fare 1-way. Whole hiking takes 2-3 hours (3.7km). Walk from Tower No.1 (main entrance ) up to the highest Tower No.8, then walk down to Tower 12 ( near Bear Garden). Pass by Bear Garden, then walk about 10mins back to the Tower 1.
I decided to book (walked-in in Qianmen near Qianmen Hostel) my Beijing whole day city tour because I am already exhausted as this was my 15th day journey across Northeast Asia which started in Japan followed by Mongolia.

Great Wall of China Badaling section is the best preserved and the most popular one amongst all the sections. It is more than 1,000 meters (3281 ft) above sea level, and commands a strategic position for transportation and defense in ancient times. Badaling, literally meaning "reach eight directions", got its name because the maze of its ridges stretches in all directions. It is easily accessible and has easy walking conditions.
