Beijing Badaling Culture and Tourism Group has taken steps to restrict the number of visitors, accepting only 50 people for each tour. Each tour is outfitted with a skilled full-service staff team to guarantee safety and high quality of the activity. Two-person and family packages are also available, covering such services as accommodation, breakfast, transportation and tour guide. Visitors can make reservations through the WeChat mini program named "Throughout the Great Wall" three days in advance.
