which cities are close to the great wall?

Hi Bob. Actually, the China Great Wall passes through 19 provinces of China, including Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Gansu. It means that China Great Wall is near the above provinces. If we have to say the nearby city, Beijing can be a good choice. The famous Badaling Great Wall makes Beijing a very attractive Great Wall viewing city. Additionally, Jiayuguan at Gansu is also magnificent.
