    We just got back from a fantastic trip up to the Great Wall. We actually slept ON the wall in a watchtower. Our kids loved it. The food was excellent and the trip was well organized. Highly recommend it, it was a highlight of our trip!

    Well people used to climb up the Great Wall but now there is a tobbogan-like ride up to 3/4 of the Great Wall at Badaling. From there simply trek up some distance again to reach the highest point of the Great Wall around the Beijing area.
    Do this trek especially during winter because it helps to heat up your body, and you get to experience marvellous views from the Great Wall

    You should really try to make it to other parts of the Great Wall -no offense to the "tourist sections" of the wall, but I find them too crowded, and kind of fake. The picture for this tip is of a section of the wall (there is no name of it, as far as I know). It is close to the BaDaLing section. Have a look at the quality of the wall. It looks like the original (i.e. not restored), so I feel you get more history out of it - for lack of a better word.
