B. Restroom: We highly suggest our customers use their restroom facilities before we pick you up, as there are limited bathrooms in this area.

D. Venders: There are many venders who make their livings on the Great Wall (only at Jinshanling & Simatai). Often they will wait for visitors at the entrance of the wall, and follow them almost the entire way. During the tour, they may help you, for example, help you carry your bag or give you a hand on the steep parts. If this occurs, a tip or purchase is expected.
