I thought today was just a normal weekend.
But the weather was nice and sunny. When my son got up, he coquettishly said, "Mom, let's go out and play."
I said yes, where do you want to go?
The son said he didn't know either.
Suddenly I had an idea, let's go climb the Great Wall.
My son jumped up with joy when he heard this.
My son had just finished learning about the Great Wall in his Chinese textbook, and he had already been fascinated by it. This was just what he wanted.
But when I looked at the time, it was almost 8 o'clock.
I guess I won’t be able to open it on the same day.
I still turned on my phone and checked.
I asked 2 companies and they both said no.
Later I saw that the bus showed multiple departures.
After listening to my idea, the customer service lady said that we could choose the 10 o'clock bus in the middle shift, which would be completely in time. She also thoughtfully sent me the travel method and how to take the bus.
When I looked at the time, I really had time to catch the 10 o'clock bus.
My child and I simply washed up and went out.
Transportation: The bus to Badaling is at Beitucheng Station of Metro Line 5.
Not far from where I live.
The subway arrived in less than half an hour, and there was no need to back up.
After getting on the subway, I remembered that we hadn't booked tickets yet, and quickly consulted customer service.
The customer service said that the tour guide would buy the tickets for me, and my son’s fare and tickets were half price, which was great.
She also thoughtfully reminded us to go to the bathroom before leaving the station, because the bus goes directly to the scenic spot from one stop and does not stop in the middle.
What a considerate girl.
When we got out of the subway station, we saw a tour guide wearing a green vest.
You can choose guided tour service when bringing children.
The bus is quite clean.
Others were also very punctual and really set off on time.
Unlike the one-day tour group we went to travel to other places that year, the bus went to pick up one person and another, and many people were late. We waited in the car and felt very angry.
We got on the bus at 6 o'clock, but it was after 8 o'clock and not everyone was there yet, which was really annoying.
It's really much easier for bus drivers to gather themselves and leave at the right time.
The tour guide we chose is a beautiful girl, very nice.
She gave an overview of Beijing tourism, focusing on the construction history and culture of the Great Wall.
During this period, he also carefully bought tickets for the dome movie on our behalf.
The beautiful tour guide said that the dome movie is a must-buy item for almost all tourists.
When I checked, it turned out to be much cheaper than those sold online.
We didn’t buy cable car tickets this time, because I felt that I was still young and strong enough to crawl, and it was no problem for children who were full of energy.
Later, it turned out that -----, oh, it’s a slap in the face. Older people like us who don’t exercise often should choose to take the cable car, otherwise your kneecaps and thighs will not be yours.
That’s a story for another day~ It’s finally time to get out of the car and have some fun at lunch.
My son said he was hungry as soon as he got out of the car.
Isn't it? I walked in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and it's almost noon now, which is the time for dinner.
Not to mention that Badaling Food Street is the only way to the scenic spot. There are really a lot of delicious things, including Chinese and Western food.
My son likes beef noodles. When the store heard that we were customers of Busta, they thoughtfully gave us a discount, which was great.
After a hearty meal, we started to climb the Great Wall in earnest. As heroes, we started to climb the city. According to the suggestion of the tour guide, my son and I climbed the Great Wall in the north.
The north slope is relatively easy to climb, so we took pictures while climbing.
We were able to roam freely in the front, but it was really hard to climb in the back. There was a section where we had to use our hands and feet together.
There are relatively many people on the north slope.
And now it only opens to the North 8th floor.
I wanted my child to be in high spirits and continue climbing up, but by the time we reached the North 6th floor, I was exhausted, mainly because my kneecaps started to hurt.
Fortunately, there is a passage down the mountain on the right side of the North 6th Floor. We went back through the passage through the small door under the North Tower Gate Beacon Tower.
During this period, we also passed the famous Monument of Heroes.
There were too many people queuing up to take pictures, so we hurried down the mountain.
Beautiful scenery of the Great Wall Badaling in autumn is the most beautiful time of the year.
The mountains are covered with red leaves, and the forests are dyed with color. Forgive me for being short of words, but here are some beautiful pictures to make up for it ~ There are so many people doing the full-dome movie on the Badaling Great Wall. After I came down from the mountain, it turned out that more than 2 hours had passed.
We both quickly went to watch a dome movie.
The cinema is easy to find, just opposite the parking lot where we got off.
The 9D movie is really shocking. The electric chair can be moved, and there are special effects of spraying wind and rain. Wearing VR glasses, sitting on it really feels like flying over the mountains. The immersive experience is not fake, it is awesome~
Reflections on the trip The car drove a little slower on the way back, maybe everyone was a little tired, but the children were still excited, and my son had a lively chat with the children in the car.
Even more happily, the staff also gave him a car as a gift.
This car model is very lifelike and the material is quite good.
