Great wall of China

Question

Is there a tube from Beijing airport to Great wall of China?

Answer

No, there is no direct subway (tube) or metro line from Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) or Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) to the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall is located outside of central Beijing, typically 60–80 km away depending on the section you want to visit (such as Badaling, Mutianyu, or Jinshanling).

Here are the main ways to get from the airport to the Great Wall:

Private car or taxi: This is the most convenient option if you want direct transportation from the airport. The drive to the popular sections like Mutianyu or Badaling usually takes 1.5–2 hours from the airport depending on traffic.
Airport transfer + tour bus: Some tour companies offer shuttle buses or private tours from the airport directly to the Great Wall. These can be booked in advance online or through travel agencies.
Public transport combination: You can take the airport express train or bus into central Beijing, then transfer to public buses or subway and further to a bus/tour to the Great Wall. For example:
- Take the Airport Express to Dongzhimen, then take bus line 916 Express to Badaling Great Wall.
- For Mutianyu, you can take the subway or taxi to Huairou, then local shuttle or tour bus to the Mutianyu section.

In summary, there is no single tube line to the Great Wall from the airport, and traveling there requires either private transport, a combination of subway and bus, or a pre-arranged tour.
