Forty minutes into Beijing Ring Road #3, we hit the Badaling Expressway. The nearest section of the Great Wall (open to tourists) is 75km away at Badaling.
From a distance, we see a familiar sight...hmmm, yes...a toll plaza! The expressway to Badaling is a closed toll expressway (just like our North-South Expressway) and we duly collect our transit ticket, which is a simple piece of paper with 2-dimensional barcodes on it (see 2nd pic - note the wrong time-stamp on ticket, late by 25 mins).
