Juyong Pass

Unclaimed

I visited the Juyong Pass, Great Wall of China, and climbed to the top visiting the 12 Fortress towers along the way. This section is steep but very scenic. Unfortunately, it was too windy on the day for a helicopter view.

Brilliant scenic spot for both viewings and hiking sections of the great wall of china! Lots of parking space & low admission charges & free for over 70s with passport! We walked across the river to a beautiful reconstructed pavilion that has seats & fabulous tradition ceiling artwork! This is one of the closest Great Wall locations to Central Beijing Recommended!

Today, I had the unforgettable amazing experience of walking almost 3.5 km on the Great Wall of China (Juyongguan), the most challenging and breathtaking sections. It was built in 1368 by General Xu Da emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this wall is not just a structure, it's a symbol of Chinese people determination and legacy. I am so grateful to God and my country for making this milestone possible. I have gained so much from this experience, and I hope it continues to inspire and guide me in the future

Great walk to Fortress 12. Not too difficult and can be achieved within 1.5 hours. Not too crowded too. First week of March 2025.

Great Wall is something that would give you goosebumps for many reasons. The architecture is mind boggling. It so giant that feels unreal! We took the Juyongguan pass which is widely known for its beautiful views of foliage. We visited during cherry blossom, so it was more beautiful. The good side is vehicles go up and you can get a good view even if you don’t want to climb. Some portions are steep but if you take breaks, it’s doable. There are souvenir shop and cafe near ticket booth. Some clean toilets are also near cafe.
