I agree that Badaling is very beautiful and the view fantastic. Once you get past the top north tower there is almost no tourists - I really don't know why everybody wants go go up the same way. I've been to Badaling two times and last time I made the mistake of going on a
public holiday - I'll never make that mistake again
I will surely come back to the Badaling area again to explore the less crowded places. It is about time I complete my Great Wall wish list, so I can begin to plan my next five years in China
