The Ancient Great Wall, located 10 Chinese miles (5 km) southwest of Badaling, serves as the western gateway to the Badaling Great Wall defense system. Though partially ruined, its majestic aura persists thanks to its well-preserved primitive state.
Here you will see high mountains, deep valleys and watchtowers sitting on top of the wall. Thanks to the preservation of its original shape, the ancient Great Wall, although incomplete, is magnificent. The broken walls silently display the vicissitudes of history and the stories of ancient battlefields.
The ancient Great Wall shows an incomplete beauty but the natural scenery and environment around it are even more beautiful. Mountains are full of apricot blossoms in spring and lilacs in summer. All the leaves turn red in autumn. In winter, everything is covered in white. The beautiful scenery make the scenic area a dream destination for visitors.
In spring, Xinghua Slope bursts into a riot of blossoms, with silvery waves of pink hues; in summer, Jinghua Valley transforms into a sea of blue blooms. These spots along the Great Wall are ideal for cultural, sports, and educational activities.
