Unique evening on Badaling

Tina_Q, May 2026

We had a wonderful evening trip to Badaling with our driver Mr Guo. Mr Guo was brilliant - he had great English, we were picked up on time from our hotel and had a comfortable drive to Badaling. He thoughtfully had water and bananas for us for the journey which is about 90 mins outside Beijing in evening traffic. The time at the Great Wall was self guided and Mr Guo made sure we had his contact details if we needed anything while there. We were well looked after and also enjoyed plenty of free time to explore the Great Wall, admiring it as it turned from dusk to dark. There were very few other visitors there so it was peaceful. It was a truly unforgettable experience!

Bucket List ✔️✔️✔️

The night visit to the Great Wall was unforgettable. Mr. Guo was very accommodating and went the extra ‘mile’ by providing bananas and water for the hour+ drive. Comfortable car. Mr. Guo was punctual and all tickets were pre-arranged. Crowds were minimal on our visit - a BIG +++. Unfortunately, the restaurants were closed at the end of our visit so we missed dinner, but that didn’t diminish the experience.

100% recommend

Was a very smooth tour, given plenty of time and was an amazing sight! Would 100% recommend!! So amazing seeing it with very few people and then at night all lit up.

Amazing experience - would definitely recommend the night time to a daytime visit

Absolutely incredible experience. Our driver Mr Guo picked us up from the Hotel. He even provided is with water and bananas. We took the tour on Sunday the 15.6. and we were pretty much alone at the wall. No wait time. It was just incredible. I know that the tour can't control the crowds but just the convenience of having your own driver is worth the price.

Amazing experience at night

The driver brought us to the entrance and then we had 2,5 hours to explore the wall. It was amazing at night!

Efficient, friendly, good communication

Friendly, helpful driver with comfortable vehicle. Good communication from organisers, pre and post the trip. Lovely experience visiting at night, during the in-season, to see the wall lit up.
