West Wall at Juyongguan Pass

The West Wall is the "challenge mode" of Juyongguan Pass, a route for those who want not just to see the Great Wall of China, but to feel its character. There is no cable car, no lift, and no toboggan descent like those at Badaling or Mutianyu. Only you, the stone, and the ascent — step by step, up a very steep slope.
