About:Wild Great Wall in Beijing

Hello, I was trying to go to Badaling yesterday, but it seemed like there is no 919 that goes to Badaling anymore. At first I went to a bus stop in front of BNU, where three or four different kind of 919 passes, but non of them were going to Badaling. Next, I went to a bus stop near Jishuitan subway station, there was also one 919, but that one didn't go to Badaling either. I asked someone around the bus stop and the only answer I got was there is no bus going to Badaling. Is there a bus I can take to Badaling? I live near Deshengmenwai and I really want to go to Badaling before I leave China(in a week), so please tell me how I should get there. Thanks

+If I take a taxi to Deshengmen and try to take 919 from there, should I just say Deshengmen to the cab driver?

The 919 bus to Badaling is just beside the Dengshenmen Arrow Gate. It should be there all the year round. There is another way. You can take subway from Jishuitan to Xizhimen. Then walk to Beijing North Raiway Station. There are trains to Badaling. If you stay in Deshengmenwai, you can just walk to the arrow gate. If you want to take taxi, yes, tell the driver you are going to Deshengmen.

Yes, I found the bus and went to Badaling. The bus stop is literally right in front of Deshengmen gate. It's like a small parking lot and theres usually quite few people waiting for bus and also a line of buses. You can find 919 bus stop in the middle, not around entrance. And be sure to ask them the price before u get on! It's supposed to be 12 yuan per person, no more than that.
