Verified at the official Badaling ticketing platform, October 16, 2026.
The Badaling Great Wall scenic area has posted a notice: the North Line Aerial Cableway will be suspended from October 21 to December 25, 2026. The notice gives no reason for the suspension. The South Line Ground Cableway remains in operation during this period.
