Lying between Huiquan Cape and Taiping Cape, Badaguan (meaning 'Eight Great Passes') is named after the eight great passes of the Great Wall. The area was once occupied by several Western countries, which is reflected in the eclectic mix of architectural styles from over twenty nations, including England, Russia, Germany, France, Denmark, and more. Badaguan shines in every season: in spring, Shaoguan Road bursts into bloom with peach flowers; in summer, crepe myrtles line Zhengyangguan Road in vibrant colours; while in autumn, the maple leaves turn a striking red. Even in winter, the area remains picturesque, with the cedars keeping their evergreen hue. Whatever the time of year, Badaguan offers a new charm waiting to be explored.
