The one thing everyone needs and wants to see when visiting China is the Great Wall, and we are no different! We decided to visit the Badaling sections of the Great Wall as this is the most accessible section of the wall to get to from Beijing, however, because it's so easily accessed this means it is by far the most popular and crowded part of the wall to visit, and in our opinion, it was a mistake coming to this section...

China Travel: Badaling Great Wall - Crowds & First Impressions

China trip: Badaling Great Wall visit. Overcrowding made it a less-than-ideal experience. Still, a memorable part of their China adventure!

Eoin and Aisling's China adventure takes an unexpected turn at the Badaling section of the Great Wall. While it's the most accessible part, its popularity leads to overwhelming crowds. Their initial excitement about visiting this modern wonder turns into a less-than-ideal experience due to the sheer number of tourists. This unexpected challenge highlights the importance of planning and considering less-visited alternatives when exploring popular attractions.
