Private tour: Badaling Great Wall at night from the city centre

The Great Wall of Badaling in the Yanqing district of Beijing resembles a sleeping dragon lying quietly among the mountains, about 70 kilometres from the centre of Beijing. As one of the most famous sections of the Great Wall of China, it is also a Grade 5A national tourist attraction. This architectural marvel with a thousand-year history is known for its magnificent scenery, well-developed facilities and deep cultural and historical heritage. Heads of state and heads of government from 178 countries and regions, including US presidents such as Nixon and Obama and British queens such as Elizabeth II – 528 people in total – have left their mark here, making this oriental marvel a global centre of attraction.

When night falls, the Great Wall of Badaling sheds its daytime solemnity and transforms into a dazzling garment that creates a whole new dream world. A carefully crafted night sightseeing programme in the scenic area, Badaling Night Great Wall uses breathtaking light shows as backdrops to outline the ancient city walls with flowing splendour; rousing Ming Dynasty costume performances as brushes to reflect the bustling scenes of the past; and special activities as embellishments to add endless fun. Here, historical culture and modern technology blend together perfectly to create a unique and exhilarating night experience for visitors.
