We booked tickets for Jiulong Lake through Ctrip, and the price was quite reasonable. We were two families with children, a total of six people traveling together. We stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Ningbo, about 18 kilometers from the scenic area, allowing us to experience both the city's nightlife and the beautiful scenery. Jiulong Lake is an artificial lake, and the scenic area is quite large, but since we traveled in June, it was still a bit hot, although the air was very fresh. Overall, it was a great vacation choice.

What an amazing experience!!! Selecting Jinshanling was a great decision as we were able to experience the beauty of the untouched part of the Great Wall. Less people and more beautiful scenery!! Our guide Susie was vey friendly and helpful, made our tour super convenient with her tips and communication!!!

Doing this trip during the winter was so worth it- there was almost no one else at the Jinshaling section of the wall when we were there! If it is snowy/icy, I wouldn't recommend going to Jinshaling though as it will be too slippery (there were some steep climbs). The driver was there on time to drop us off at the wall and was there again to take us back. One thing I would say is that you do NOT get a guide with this tour, basically just a driving service- I thought that wasn't very clear on the description. Everything else was great, no complaints 👍
