Of all the sections, Jinshanling is the most photographed part and if you happen to be flipping through a travel magazine or a book that talks about the Great Wall of China, chances are you are looking at photos of Jinshanling. I was so happy that I challenged myselves and it turned out really well. If you are ever in Beijing, do at least a 1 day hike if you can. A few tips to keep in mind: Jinshanling remains wild, ruined, preserved, original and is a bit more inaccessible and definitely less touristy than Badaling and other restored section. The path on this hike is not even, nor flat- the full stretch is considered by the unseasoned hiker as being quite tough. Come at a time of year when tourist numbers are low, and you may just have uninterrupted views.#jinshanling #greatwallofchina #beijingtrip #chinatour #thegreatwall #greatwall #sunrise #beijinger #lonelyplanetchina #lonelyplanet #beijingtourguide #beijinglayover #instabeijing #beijingtour #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel https://www.instagram.com/p/B2LG2kXH7CU/?igshid=1jacncx10mkc5
