About Jinshanling Great Wall
Jinshanling Great Wall, located in Luanping County, Hebei Province, about 125 km northeast of Beijing, was built during the Ming Dynasty starting in 1570 CE. This section is known for its stunning views, steep terrain, and well-preserved architecture, including unique watchtowers with rounded roofs. Jinshanling is less crowded compared to other sections like Badaling and Mutianyu, making it a great choice for hikers and photographers looking for a more tranquil experience. It connects to the Simatai section to the east and the Mutianyu section to the west, offering a variety of scenic routes. The wall here stretches about 10.5 km and provides a glimpse into China’s rich history and military engineering. It’s a perfect destination for those seeking adventure and history in a beautiful setting.

A cable car (40 RMB) has been constructed to take visitors to the highest point along the wall. There is an additional admission charge of 50 RMB to continue on to the Simatai section, and a 5 RMB fee to cross the suspension bridge.
