About The Tourist Attraction:
The Mutianyu Great Wall features 23 towers for exploration and is quieter than the Badaling section. Located in the Huairou district, about 75 km from downtown Beijing, this section is surrounded by more trees, offering a refreshing and energizing atmosphere. The Great Wall near the village of Mutianyu, which dates back to the Ming dynasty, served as a crucial defense wall in past dynasties. This makes it an ideal spot for a layover tour.
HOW TO VISIT
There are three ways to reach the Wall from the base of Mutianyu Great Wall:
-
Hike up the rugged mountain by foot, taking approximately 30 minutes.
-
Take the cable car up and down (optional).
-
Use the chair lift up and the toboggan slide down (optional).
Incidentally, Michelle Obama chose this option.
It is highly recommended to take the cable car or chair lift up to the Great Wall and use the toboggan to descend, conserving energy for hiking on the wall.
