Badaling Great Wall is one of the most famous and accessible sections of the Great Wall of China near Beijing. Located in a mountainous area northwest of Beijing, Badaling is known for its well-preserved walls, historic watchtowers and spectacular mountain scenery.

As one of the most popular Great Wall destinations, Badaling is an excellent choice for travelers visiting Beijing for the first time. However, Badaling Great Wall is very busy during daylight hours, so visit Badaling Great Wall at night is perfect choice.  It can also be visited as part of a carefully planned Beijing airport layover tour when your flight schedule provides enough time.

With a private vehicle and English-speaking guide, you can travel from Beijing Capital International Airport or your Beijing hotel to Badaling, explore the Great Wall and return according to your itinerary.

Badaling Great Wall is located in Yanqing District, northwest of central Beijing. It is farther from central Beijing than some urban attractions, but its transportation infrastructure makes it one of the more accessible Great Wall sections for visitors.

For international travelers arriving at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), the route can be incorporated into a private airport layover itinerary when sufficient time is available.

If you are flying through Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and have a long international layover, a private Badaling Great Wall tour may be an exciting way to experience China during your connection.

Instead of spending your entire layover inside the airport, you can leave the airport, visit one of China's most famous landmarks and return for your onward flight.

Badaling can also be visited from Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX).

However, Daxing Airport is located in the southern part of Beijing, while Badaling is northwest of the city.

Because of the longer transportation distance, travelers arriving at PKX should have sufficient layover time before considering a Badaling Great Wall excursion.

If your connection is shorter, another sightseeing option or a different Great Wall itinerary may be more appropriate.
