Visiting the Great Wall of China was one of the most significant events of my trip to China. This majestic building not only impresses with its history and scale, but also gives an unforgettable experience.
From the first glance at the Great Wall, I was struck by its grandeur. This ancient structure, stretching for thousands of kilometers through mountains and valleys, evokes a sense of reverence for history and the labor invested in its construction. Standing at the top of one of the towers, I could see the wall winding along the mountain ranges, disappearing into the distant horizon.
I chose to visit a section of the wall in the Badalin area, which is well preserved and equipped for tourists. Climbing the wall was quite steep and time-consuming, but each step was worth the effort. Walking along the wall, I couldn't help but admire the views of the surrounding landscapes and the sheer scale of this structure.
The Great Wall of China carries a deep historical significance. It is not just a defensive structure, but a symbol of Chinese culture and engineering genius. After learning more about its construction, I was impressed by how difficult the technology and working conditions were at that time. Each section of the wall tells its own story, and I felt like I had touched the ancient past of China.
The atmosphere on the wall was exciting. Despite the large number of tourists, I felt the grandeur and tranquility of this place. The silence of the mountains and the wind penetrating through the stones added a sense of solitude and connection with nature.
The organization of the visit was at a high level. Signs, information signs and audio guides helped to better understand the history and significance of the wall. The infrastructure was well developed, with convenient trails and places to relax.
The Great Wall of China is more than just a historical monument. This is a place that allows you to feel a connection with ancient times and appreciate the scale of human efforts. My visit to the Great Wall of China was an unforgettable experience that I recommend to anyone interested in Chinese history and culture. This is one of those places that you definitely need to see with your own eyes in order to truly appreciate their greatness.

The Great Wall of China is definitely a place in China that is worth a visit. We were at the Simatai site. They lift it on a funicular and then a small area for hiking.
For more sporty ones, there is a route for a large climb on foot. This is the goal for the next visit. The view that opens from the wall amazes everyone, including those who watch your statuses!
Simatai (variants of Russian transcription: Simatai, Samatai) is one of the most striking and fascinating sections of the Great Wall of China in Beijing, accessible to tourists and travelers. It belongs to the Miyun district, which is located one hundred and twenty kilometers northeast of the central part of the city. Simatai is interesting, first of all, because it has almost completely preserved its original appearance. It was not affected by the reconstruction at all, so Simatai is ideal for those who want to get as close as possible to the history and culture of the Celestial Empire.

The most striking impression of China is the Great Wall of China, which impresses with its antiquity and power. The Badalin section has strengthened this impression, climbing 1,700 steps without a funicular, bypassing 12 towers is powerful, difficult, but worth it! China should be watched, but it is better with closed ears, there are a lot of contradictions and prohibitions in the country itself! China shows only what you want, but you can still hear a lot if you go on a trip to China with your ears open.
