How to get to Great Wall from Central Beijing?

Subway+bus is another option:

(1) Subway Line8, get off at Zhuxinzhuang station, Exit B3

(2)take bus No. 880 which goes directly to Badaling

 By train is the best:

1. Take subway line 2 to Xizhimen Station（西直门站）
2. Use exit A1 to get to Beijing North Railway Station
3. Take train line S2 to Badaling station（八达岭）

Total cost：~ RMB15

maybe take a taxi

Its actually not a great place to go anymore. its so crowded there u will only see people.
