Thumbs up Jinshanling hotels

Chinese: 金山宾馆
Pinyin: Jīn shān bīng guǎn
English: Jinshan hotel
Telephone: 86-10-8402-4628

Jinshanling has three different hotel complexes all in the same area. I have stayed at all three of them. As you enter the Jinshanling Great Wall, they are beyond the parking area, on the right side of the road, just past the restaurant and before you reach the ticket gate.

First are the standard rooms with courtyards. This is the least expensive room and I can’t say it was exactly clean or special in any way. These rooms are located at 40°41'5"N 117°14'14"E.

Second are the apartment suites. These rooms are much nicer than the standard rooms. They are located at 40°41'2"N 117°14'10"E.

Third are the rooms in the quadrangle, which have a central courtyard. These are the most expensive rooms. These were built most recently and they are very clean and comfortable. The location is 40°41'4"N 117°14'12"E.

All of these hotel complexes are shown on this map.

The Jinshanling hotel accepts foreign guests but they do not have English-speaking staff.
