The Great Wall of Beijing

The Great Wall of Beijing, an integral part of China’s Great Wall, is primarily located in the northern mountainous areas of Beijing, including Yanqing, Huairou, and Miyun districts. Stretching nearly 600 kilometers, its construction dates back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, with subsequent expansions and renovations during the Qin, Han, and Ming dynasties. The existing sections mainly date to the Ming Dynasty.
Notable segments include Badaling, Mutianyu, Juyongguan, and Simatai. Badaling, renowned for its grandeur, represents the quintessence of the Ming Great Wall and was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1987. Mutianyu is distinguished by its lush vegetation, dense watchtowers, and panoramic views, especially picturesque during autumn with red foliage. Juyongguan, strategically significant since ancient times, features magnificent fortifications and exquisite stone carvings. Simatai is famed for its steepness, density, uniqueness, ingenuity, and completeness, with the “Wangjing Tower” and single-side wall design standing out as architectural marvels.
