Luanping Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Photographer’s Paradise (Jinshanling)

This part of the Great Wall is known as a photographer’s paradise. It is very quiet and the surrounding scenery is spectacular. Located in Hebei Provence, it is about 2.5 hours from Beijing and only partially restored. Jinshanling is one of the best preserved parts of the wall and is a great hike up. It is open from 8am to 5pm and wonderful all year round. spring - for the blossoms summer - for the greenery autumn - for the leaves winter - for the snow It is about 10km long but only 5-6km are open to the public. I would suggest getting a private driver who will wait for you as it may prove difficult to call a cab willing to take you all the way into Beijing. A private driver is cost-effective if you’re traveling as a group. #gooutside #greatwall #hiking

The Great Wall of China is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and for good reason! Our trip to the Jinshanling section of the wall was the most surreal experience of 2019. The wall is so historically significant and I could feel the history with every step! Consider adding the Great Wall of China to your 2020 travel goals 😁

Crowds come and go, all bustling for the beauty of blossoms

Yesterday was the second day of the Qingming Festival mini-holiday, coinciding with the opening of the 12th Jinshanling Great Wall Apricot Flower Festival. In this vibrant season, when all things are flourishing, more than 20,000 tourists flocked to the Jinshanling Great Wall to partake in a springtime floral event. They came to see the hills blanketed with apricot blossoms, to witness the serpentine Great Wall, to gaze upon the ethereal fragrance of flowers mingling with the fairyland of the Wall, and to appreciate the full expression of Chinese aesthetics. Standing atop the Great Wall, one can look out over the overlapping peaks and the winding walls, like a giant dragon traversing through the mists of history, narrating the vicissitudes of a thousand years. You make us feel the profound depth and greatness of history, and also make us cherish the peace and tranquility of the present even more. Every visit here stirs my emotions, as if I become one with this ancient land. The Jinshanling Great Wall is an eternal ode, and an immortal epic. It is not just a barrier, but a legend. It has witnessed the bloody battles of countless brave soldiers, as well as the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation. Touching these stone bricks, the pulse of history throbs, and my soul is shaken. Walking on the Great Wall, each stone brick underfoot bears the heavy weight of history. They have withstood the test of wind, frost, rain, and snow, yet remain as solid as ever, telling of the wisdom and resilience of the ancients. 📝Practical Tips: 📍Detailed Address | Bakexiyang, Luanping County, Hebei Province 🚘Travel Strategy | Self-driving recommended 🏨Accommodation Recommendation | Jinshanling Great Wall Hotel 🎫Admission Ticket | 65 RMB per adult

After a year, I came to the Great Wall of Jinshanling again. I climbed the Great Wall with me and my girlfriend, and there were cute little squirrels. Last night, I lived in the courtyard full of quaint charm at the foot of the Great Wall. The Jinshanling Great Wall Yueyuan Hotel is from the world's top hotel group Banyan Tree Group. Our small courtyard is next door to the entrance of the scenic spot. When we open the door in the morning, we can say good morning to the majestic Great Wall.
