What is the reason why Badaling Great Wall is closed?

On August 13, it rained for three days and continued. The latest forecast shows that there will still be scattered showers or thunderstorms today. Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area was closed due to weather problems, and a large number of tourists did not receive relevant information. Many vehicles are blocked on Badaling Expressway, and the peak period stretches for several kilometers.

The official WeChat account "Badaling Great Wall" announced that on the morning of August 12, Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area received a notice from Yanqing Tourism Commission: due to rainy weather, all mountain-related scenic spots in Yanqing area were closed from August 12 and 20 17, and all tourist reception activities were prohibited. It is decided that from now on, Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area will be temporarily closed to the outside world and resume business hours.

According to the information of Beijing Tourism Commission, most of the temporarily closed 179 scenic spots, including Badaling Great Wall, are in mountainous areas and belong to natural landscapes, involving many districts in Beijing, such as Xiangshan and Xishan National Forest Park in Haidian District. Tanzhe Temple and Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou District; Fangshan District Dushi and Baihua Mountain Scenic Area 21; Gubei Water Town and Yunmeng Mountain Forest Park in Miyun District; Mutianyu Great Wall, Hongluo Temple and Yanqi Lake in Huairou District.

The Tourism Commission of Changping District announced in August 12 that it is currently in the process of a new round of rainfall, and it has been raining for three consecutive days since the early morning of this morning. The surface water content is saturated, which is prone to geological disasters such as mudslides, landslides, collapses and flash floods, especially in mountainous areas.

Changping District Tourism Commission said that at present, all natural scenic spots and rural tourism folk villages in the area have been closed, and non-scenic wild mountains have been closed, reminding the general public not to go to natural scenic spots and mountainous areas. On the open day, we hope that the District Tourism Committee will inform us after consulting with the flood control office, meteorological and geological departments.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ming Tombs Special Zone Office, Juyongguan Great Wall is not on the closed list. As of yesterday, it was in a normal reception state. After that, the scenic spot will negotiate with relevant departments to determine whether it needs to be closed. If it is closed, it will be announced in advance through channels such as official website and the media.
