    Scam unless someone explains it to me

    This is a: Admission + one-way funicular ride up Here is the exact name of the ticket purchased, but upon arrival, the admission to the wall is okay, but the funicular is not included! It is an extra charge upon arrival; it feels like a scam. I had to buy 2 funicular ride tickets on-site

    Response from the operator: Dear Fabrice, We apologize for that. We did book the funicular for you, probably input passport number wrong. We would like to refund you the funicular ticket. All the best,

    An experience that must...

    An experience that must be done, be there at 17 30 and you will enjoy the Great Wall almost empty. Easy to reach with the high speed train.

    Highly recommended!

    Highly recommended! The wall at night with the lights is magical. We also added the transfer option and the service was perfect. 🤗

    Badaling at night made easy

    Very easy experience - we were in Beijing for work with a spare day for some sightseeing. We booked our tickets to the Badaling Great Wall via Beijing Tour Guide and it was all very easy! We received our QR tickets shortly after booking and they were able to answer all our questions about where to go/ where to meet etc. The Badaling Wall at night is well worth it, lovely evening

    Response from the operator: Dear Donald, Thank you for your positive comments. It is our pleasure to arrange this for you. We are glad you enjoyed it. Best regards, Violet

    Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Admission Ticket: Badaling Night Great Wall start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
