Hiking itinerary:  1. After arriving at the Northbound cable car of Badaling Great Wall, take the cable car, which will take you directly to the North Seven Floor, approximately 3-5 minutes. You can overlook the magnificent mountain scenery around the Great Wall on the cable car.  3. From the North Seven Floor, start hiking to "Hao Han Slope". This section requires certain physical strength, and some stairs are relatively steep. Be sure to pay attention to safety, which takes about 20-30 minutes.  4. Continue hiking from "Hao Han Slope" to the North Eight Floor, which is the highest point of the North Badaling Great Wall, also known as "Guangri Platform". Here, you can take in the magnificent scenery of the Great Wall winding its way through the mountains. It's a great spot for photos.  5. After checking in at the North Eight Floor, due to time constraints (4:30 pm), the cable car and slide are closed, so we chose to hike back along the Great Wall. The hike down takes about an hour, and the afternoon sun around 4-5 pm is beautiful on the Great Wall. It's very beautiful!  6. After hiking down, the signs are clear, and you can walk to Badaling Railway Station. There are many shops along the way, offering food, drinks, and cultural creative stores.
