The views are more spectacular and you can hike on the undeveloped parts of the wall here for quite a distance. The first time I was here was before the olympics and you could actually camp on the wall and have food brought up from the small village. Now the small village has been displaced and there is a tourist hotel and shops in its place, but it is still a spectacular view and a great experience - but note that once you are off the restored part of the wall, the hiking is tough, but uneven and missing steps - you should be prepared for some effort but you don't have to go too far to feel like you have gotten away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

As you drive out to this point of the wall, your first glimpse will take your breath away. You start to see it snaking along the mountains. At Jiangjunguan you have the ability to walk in two directions. The first being super steep, (this was to the left of the pagoda),but we were told that you get a great view of the other side, through the pagoda and to the right, the wall section is steep but not as steep, however, the steps are irregular and there are very few sections od straight walking. The guard towers along the way are amazing, and there are several points where you get excellent looks back over where you cam from, this is a great spot.

You have to see it to just imagine, how the hell did they manage to build it at that era. You must attempt to climb atleast to the first stop. And every step you take, you have to give credit to the people who sacrifice to create this man made marvel. But a warning..to get down,grab tightly on the pole..it is too steep.

You cannot say you have truly seen China without taking a trip to the Great Wall. Yes you must be in shape to do it, but it will worth your time. You will be amazed by the grandeur of this magnificent masterpiece. I was very tired after going through this but it’s one of a kind experience. The scenery is absolutely fantastic and you will see why they call it on of the world’s wonders. Make sure that you have some water with you, a good pair of walking shoes and get ready to experience a day of outstanding history. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget.

Jiangjunguan Great Wall is a section that isn't nearly as crowded as Badaling but still easily accessible to Beijing. I've been to three sections of the Wall and this was the steepest and the least crowded. In fact, at the end of a very nice day in October, we were the only people on the wall~even the shops closed at 5:00 and everyone went home. We continued the climb and returned from a three or four section climb at about 6:00. It is steep and be sure to bring water if it is a warm day. This almost vacant section was a nice change from Badaling, where most westerners visit the wall. Badaling can be extremely crowded and it can be stressful. You miss some of the peace and serenity that can be found on the less visited sections of the wall.

Climb as high as you can and enjoy the immense panoramic views and imagine the lives that built this wall. A nice area to rest, shop, and eat. A bit of a bus ride to arrive at the entrance but well worth it. Enjoyed the glimpses of village life along the way

Built a few years(joking) ago!
I looked in wonderment, how did this structure evolve such a long time ago, and still be standing in reasonably good condition( this section)
But looking at it from a 21st century outlook, how can you manoeuvre troops in a hurry up and down stairs, and defend at the same time, feel sorry for the foot soldier!!!!
But, not my problem, just observing!
A WONDER OF THE WORLD, YES!!!!!!

Awesome experience. Steps are steep so be careful. once in a life time kind of experience. Take your jacket and sun screen with you if you intend to walk for more than a mile.

The great wall is one of the must see attractions in the world. No visit to China is compet without walking the steep stairs or looking out the high towers. This area is about 3-4 hours upside Beijing so there are far less tourist and a great combination of newer and ancient towers.
I was blown away by the sceenery of the surrounding area and by the magnifigance of the wall itself. The views changed as you walked along and words cannot describe what a spectacular event walking the wall is. Just make sure you wear good hiking shoes and are in good shape so you can get to the to of the precipitous stairways that lead to the most interesting towers and the best views.

It took a little less than 3 hours from the Backpackers Hotel to here. But it was worth the trip as there's no crowds here. The Great Wall is so impressive with it's height, length, history and quiet that you are in awe just to able to hike on it for about 3 hours. The last 45 minutes we just sat and enjoyed the peace, quiet and amazing view. It was truly amazing and something we will cherish all our lives.

We were there on a tour, so we're taken there by bus, I would assume that if you need transport, there must be a number of tours/trips there, just google it, good luck
