Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area
The Badaling Great Wall is located at the north entrance of the Guangou Ancient Road in Jundu Mountain, Yanqing District, Beijing. It is known as one of the nine fortresses in the world. It is the outpost of Juyongguan, an important pass of the Great Wall. It is the best preserved and most representative of the Ming Great Wall. Therefore, it is the earliest section of the Great Wall to be opened to tourists. The pass of the Badaling Great Wall is a trapezoidal shape with narrow east and wide west. It was built in the 18th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1505) and was repaired during the Jiajing and Wanli years. There are two gates in the pass. The east gate is inscribed with "Juyong Waizhen" and was engraved in the 18th year of Jiajing (1539); the west gate is inscribed with "North Gate Lock Key" and was engraved in the 10th year of Wanli (1582). Both gates are brick and stone structures, with platforms on the archways. There are passages on the north and south of the platform, connecting the walls of the pass, and battlements are built around the platform. It was said in ancient times that "the danger of Juyong is not in the pass but in Badaling". This section of the Great Wall is steep and commanding, combining majestic and steep, beautiful and verdant. After the restoration of the Guancheng and part of the city wall in 1953, it was opened as a tourist area. After several renovations, the section available for sightseeing is 3,741 meters, including 1,176 meters in the south section and 2,565 meters in the north section, with a total of 16 enemy towers. In March 1961, the "Great Wall - Badaling" was identified as the first batch of national cultural relics protection units; in 1982, it was listed as a national key scenic spot; in 1986, it was rated as the first of the top ten scenic spots in the country; in 1987, it was included in the "World Cultural Heritage List" by UNESCO; in 1992, it was rated as the first in the "Beijing Tourism World's Best"; in 1995, the Badaling Great Wall was named the "National Patriotism Education Base" by the China Caring for the Next Generation Working Committee. From 2000 to 2009, more than 500 heads of state, heads of government or leaders of the ruling party from all over the world climbed the Badaling Great Wall. On May 8, 2007, the Badaling Great Wall was officially approved by the National Tourism Administration as a national 5A-level tourist attraction. In addition to the Great Wall, Badaling Scenic Area also has the Great Wall Stele Forest, Wulang Statue, Stone Buddha Temple Stone Statue, Goldfish Pond, Chadaoliang, Qi Jiguang Garden, Yuan Chonghuan Garden, Great Wall Stele Forest Garden, Chadao Ancient City and other attractions. Now, Badaling has initially formed a tour system with a strong sense of hierarchy, with the open section of the Great Wall, the China Great Wall Museum, and the Great Wall Full-Circle Cinema as the main body, three free scenic parks as auxiliary, and the two subsidiary scenic spots of the Remaining Great Wall and Chadao Ancient City as supplements.
