Leo provided detailed information on ticket options, including cable car and toboggan rides. Travelshorts opted for a combination of cable car and toboggan rides on both the south and north sections of the wall. The cost for all the options, including lunch and a memory-maker photo, was approximately 980 RMB.
Their experience on the Great Wall was filled with stunning views (despite some fog), steep climbs, and a few unexpected challenges like the toboggan being temporarily closed due to light rain. They made the most of their time, taking breaks, enjoying the scenery, and taking many pictures.
