Wear some good walking shoes, the great wall isn’t very consistent. Some parts are level, and some sections are steep as a mountain.

Okay I wanna walk on it and not just see it. hehe.
You should try to see as many sections as possible. I have nine down and many more to go!
I didn’t realize that traveling on the Great Wall was a climbing expedition. Many steps of differing heights. But to say you have climbed the Great Wall is a fabulous goal and makes you part of its history. If you enter the Great Wall from Badaling, you will travel on a cable car to the entrance, giving you a fabulous view of the countryside. Make sure you have plenty of water. You might want to go on a weekday because many of the Chinese also use the weekend to travel there. Have fun!
This is another amazing place that I’d love to visit, but can’t afford right now. I will definitely go to see it some day though, when I’ve saved up enough….
I visited the wall a few times while I was living in Beijing. We did a long hike along the towers which, while tiring, still wasnt long enough. You could even camp over night on the wall. Beware of forceful merchants though… like anywhere you go in China. Just say no and run away or your in for some unexpected hikers in your group :)
