Entrance fee 65rmb p/p, no cable car

3:Juyongguan Great Wall - the closest section of the wall to visit from Beijing

4: Badaling – the most famous as well as most crowded section of Great Wall
Open to tourism in 1957. Badaling Great Wall is the most visited section as well as the most commercialized section. No recommend to visit during public holiday, traffic will be bad. Everyone have to take the attraction's shuttle bus which waste time.
