Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County, Beijing, is an important stretch of the Great Wall, an enormous defensive project built in ancient China. It is considered the best section of the Great Wall erected during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). During the three other seasons, people can hardly enjoy the surrounding scenery due to the overflow of visitors. In winter, the lack of visitors affords quiet serenity, leaving space to admire the rolling hills in the distance and the vigorous mountains of northern China. When snow falls, Badaling's unique splendor is wrapped in silver.
