No journey to Beijing would be complete without a visit to the Great Wall, China's most iconic site. Almost every visitor to Beijing visits the Great Wall; and those that visit China more than once, find themselves visiting another section of it. The climb, the view, the experience is different every time. There are several sections of the Great Wall that are a one to three hour drive from Beijing. So whether you come to hike the Wall, to experience the view, or marvel at the architectural grandeur, the Great Wall of China should not be missed.
