Thank you, this part of the wall look really nice. May i ask how did you go to Jinshanling ?

[@TimGloAdventures]

We took a Didi (China's version of Uber/Lyft) from our guesthouse near Gubei Watertown. There's also a public bus from Beijing to Jinshanling Great Wall once in the morning then a return bus once in the late afternoon. But it doesn't run every day. We weren't able to get a Didi back to our guesthouse from Jinshanling because the location is on the remote side. Fortunately, the woman cleaning the trash cans in the parking lot helped us out. She said this is a common issue. She called a driver for us, although the pricing was inflated.

Hi. Where did you leave your luggage.. are there any lockers in jinshanling? Thanks.

[@TimGloAdventures]

We left our luggage at the guest house near Gubei Water Town. We didn't notice any luggage storage lockers at Jinshanling, but we weren't looking so could have missed them.

Were any parts scary at Jinshanling? Like walking some sections without and walls on the sides or too narrow steps? Debating between this section and Mutianyu but I know that one is fully restored and not authentic per se.Thx!

[@TimGloAdventures]

The entirety of the Jinshanling section that we walked on was safe, although we'll note that one part was steep and had really high steps, which was challenging for our daughter; we also noticed older Chinese tourists struggling on those steps because they were so high. We've been to Mutianyu as well. It was equally beautiful; it's more accessible than Jinshanling and for that reason is slightly more crowded but not nearly as crowded as Badaling, for example. Hope you have a wonderful, safe trip to the Great Wall!!

We went in October. We took a Premium Didi, and it was about $50 USD.
