Stretching over 13,000 miles, the Great Wall of China offers unique photography opportunities beyond the popular tourist spots like Badaling. Head to sections like Jinshanling, known for its well-preserved watchtowers and panoramic views, or Simatai, which is partially restored and offers night-time tours illuminated by soft lighting, adding a dramatic effect to your photos. Early mornings or late afternoons provide the best lighting for capturing the Wall’s serpentine silhouette against the mountainous landscape. Be prepared for steep climbs and uneven surfaces, so wear sturdy footwear and pack lightly. Avoid weekends to capture the Wall in its tranquil, less-crowded state.
