I want to go to The Great Wall Area that has the tabogans and ski lifts.

Jennifer, then you might visit Badaling section. There is a ski resort, which is not far from the wall. Also there is a zoo, where you may see pandas. You can take subway line 10 to get off Hujialou station, change subway line 6 to Chegongzhuang station and then take line 2 to reach Xizhemen station. Finally you can walk to Beijing North railway station to take S2 train to reach the wall.

After getting off the train, you can choose to take free shuttle bus. Or you can walk around 2 kilometers to find the entrance. The free bus can also take you to the zoo. However, you should check the route to make sure that you don't take a wrong direction.

It just around 2 kilometers from the wall to the ski resort. However, it is very inconvenient to take public bus to get there. You can take a taxi. The journey should be around 15 minutes.
