Mutianyu Great Wall

Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area. The open section of the Mutianyu Great Wall stretches 5,400 meters, with a vegetation coverage rate exceeding 98%. With a long history and splendid culture, it enjoys the reputation both in China and abroad as "Mutianyu is the most beautiful section of the Great Wall." Because Mutianyu was developed relatively recently, many foreign leaders visiting China chose to visit Mutianyu, resulting in a high number of foreign tourists. While the Badaling Great Wall boasts grandeur, the Mutianyu section is undoubtedly scenic. Located 70 kilometers from Beijing, Mutianyu lies in the western Yanshan Mountains, at the foot of the Jundu Mountain valley, and boasts a high forest coverage rate.

☆Transportation:

1. Bus: Dongzhimen 916 Express - Huairou North Street - transfer to Bus H24.

There are many stops and it takes 2.5-3 hours.

2. We always found our own routes when we went out before, but this time, because the distance to climb the Great Wall is relatively long, and there are elderly people and children with us, it is not convenient to take public transportation, so we chose to charter a car. We chose the single charter product of Busda on the platform. The price is reasonable and it provides door-to-door pick-up and drop-off. I have to say it is really worry-free. The driver will contact us the day before departure to confirm the departure time. He is very reliable and familiar with the road conditions. He is very nice, and the car is clean and comfortable. We are provided with mineral water, masks, tissues and hand sanitizer on the car, which can be said to be very thoughtful. The driver said that Busda also has a direct bus to the Great Wall, and you can gather by yourself. The fare is only 80 yuan per person, which is very cost-effective.

The other is the "Cable Car Slide Double Journey," operated by a third-party company. You can choose between an uphill cable car and a downhill slide. Tickets are the same for both companies, so you can choose the enclosed cable car. We chose the safer one.
