Warm Prompt
A. Badaling is the most famous great wall section in China, with the largest number of tourist reception. However, some of the stone steps are steep and abrupt, so wear sport shoes with projections on the soles, balance the body’s center well when walking down, and try to avoid the peak visiting time. Meanwhile, scenic sights in the South Tower Area are galore, greeting the eye every step of the way from left and right, which may distracts the mind and leads to a false step easily. Thus, kindly advise visitors to stop to enjoy the sights and walk without any sightseeing.
B. Take some first-aid appliance such as bandage and band-aid, and basic medicine for curing high blood pressure and heart diseases.
C. Try to avoid climbing Badaling in heavy rain, thunderstorm, snow or strong wind.
