A wall that disappears over the ridgeline in both directions further than the eye can follow, a palace with nearly a thousand rooms built for one family, and street food alleys that turn a walk into a running tasting menu.

The best time to visit Beijing & the Great Wall is Apr–May, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (70°F).
