[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for MuTianYu Great Wall (Updated May)

📍Itinerary Introduction Day 1️⃣—MUJI Hotel➡️Jingshan➡️Shichahai ❇️Capital Airport Line👍 Take the Airport Line from the airport and transfer to another line. Muji is right opposite Qianmen Station. It is convenient and there is no traffic jam. The fare is 25 yuan, and those under 1.3 meters are free. ❇️Jingshan I originally planned to climb the mountain to see the Forbidden City, and the guide said that I could quickly reach the top by entering from the west gate~ 💣Took a taxi from the hotel, the driver said there was a restriction and we could only park nearby, so we drove around for half an hour and got off the car and drove for nearly an hour before we arrived at Jingshan😮💨 ❇️Shichahai The original plan was to have dinner at Shichahai and stroll around, but it turned out to be the driver's favorite Old Beijing Shabu Shabu 💣We took a taxi from Jingshan to Shichahai, and the driver said it was under control, and asked if we wanted to eat. He kept introducing Old Beijing Shabu Shabu, and asked him to stop at the nearest subway station. He also said that we couldn't get in after queuing for half an hour at the subway station, so we ended up going to Shabu Shabu😡 💣The soup base of the shabu shabu is spicy, and it costs 50 yuan to switch to clear soup😒, you know the taste 🙂↕️, then I read the comments and found that there were many people who had the same experience as us😮💨 Day 2️⃣ Great Hall of the People➡️Tiananmen➡️National Grand Theater➡️Dashilan➡️Four Seasons Folk Entertainment ❇️All attractions around Tiananmen Square require reservations. It is easy to make reservations for the National People's Congress and the square. If you can't make reservations for the National Museum, just buy exhibition tickets. It is very difficult to make reservations for the city tower. The above are all just following the crowd. The security check takes nearly an hour. It will be faster if you don’t bring a bag‼ ️Remember to bring your ID card‼ ️ ❇️National Grand Theatre👍 Direct subway access, free performances and explanations, architectural design, few people to take photos Day 3️⃣ Mutianyu Great Wall➡️Bird's Nest & Water Cube➡️Yuxiandu➡️Youbang Hotel ❇️ Mutianyu Great Wall 👍 There are few people and beautiful scenery. Take the cable car to No. 14 and then go to No. 6 to play on the slide. It's quite fun! ❇️Yuxiandu👍 Palace banquet, several hours of time travel, makeup, performances, atmosphere~ ❇️Beijing Youbang Hotel In Haidian District, the new hotel is clean and has family rooms~ Day 4️⃣ Summer Palace ➡️Tsinghua University ➡️Wukesong Business District ❇️Summer Palace 🧑🧑🧒🧒There are so many people that it is difficult to take a photo. Please ask the tour guide to explain, professional and high-quality👍 ❇️Tsinghua University Appointment is required. For Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan documents, please send an email to make an appointment. 🧑🧑🧒🧒Wait for one hour to enter, please ask the students in school to explain Day 5️⃣Return home 💡Notes: 🔺Make appointments for attractions in advance, don’t schedule too many times, and leave time for queuing 🔺Taxi is a lot of work and there are traffic jams. If you take the bus, the hotel should be close to the subway station. 🔺All those internet-famous streets are pretty much the same, with roast duck, preserved fruits, and fridge magnets... #BeijingAttractions #BeijingTravel #GreatBeijingAttractionsJingshanPark #SummerPalace #BeijingGoodPlaces

The Great Wall has many sections, each with its own unique beauty. On this trip, we chose Mutianyu Section because it only takes an hour and a half by bus from downtown Beijing. In addition to being close, Mutianyu Section also has Taboggan, a slide that slides down from the Great Wall, which is the highlight of this trip. It's awesome! My friends have been waiting for this trip with Mubus. Everyone can choose the tour they want or travel by themselves, depending on their convenience. 💴 Tour price 180 CNY ✅ This price includes: 1. Round-trip bus from Dongzhimen Station to Mutianyu Section of the Great Wall 2. English-speaking guide 3. Great Wall admission ticket (If you go by yourself, buy a ticket for 40 CNY) 4. Park bus (If you go by yourself, buy a ticket for 15 CNY) ❌ This price does not include 1. Buffet food 60 CNY 2. The cable car up and down is separated into East and West sides, but both sides cost 140 CNY. If you want to go to both sides, it will cost 280 CNY What is the difference between East and West sides❓ 🛝 Mutianyu East side: The cable car uphill only has a fall lock. It doesn't take long. It's not scary at all. You can sit in each cable car for 2 people. When the cable car goes to the top, we will be at Fort 6. We can walk from Fort 6 to Fort 1, but the guide recommended that we walk to Fort 4, which is the highlight. There will be 3 towers in a row. Then come back down by taking the Taboggan. This is really fun. There will be a control in the middle. If you push forward, it will go faster. If you pull back, it will brake. The slide down takes quite a while. I feel that it is worth the money because it is so much fun. Along the way, there are beautiful flowers to see while going down. 🚠 Mutianyu West side: This side, when getting off the park bus, you have to walk about 200 meters up the mountain, very tiring. This side will take a cable car called 360 view cable car, can seat up to 8 people. The cable car will stop at Fort 14, which is the only one with a bathroom and a 5A sign. This side has a flat and long walkway, quite beautiful, but there are some difficult spots. The round trip will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I personally think the West side is beautiful, but the East side has a taboggan that you can slide down more fun. But in any case, walking on both sides is tiring. The total cost of going to the Great Wall of China is almost 2,500 baht per person. If you ask why it's expensive, it's because we went to both East and West without thinking of coming back. 555+ End of the review of the Great Wall of China The Great Walk of China ⏰️ Opening hours: 7:30 AM #Beijing #Beijing #TravelChina #GreatWallofChina #Mutianyu #TravelPlan #NatureAttractions

#discoverchina A day trip to the Great Wall of China can be an unforgettable experience. Here’s a suggested itinerary for a day trip: Morning: 1. Early Start (7:00 AM) – Begin your day early to make the most of your time at the Wall. If you’re staying in Beijing, you’ll need to travel about 1-2 hours to reach the most popular sections of the Wall. 2. Departure to the Great Wall – Choose one of the main sections: • Mutianyu: Less crowded, well-preserved, and offers a cable car or toboggan ride. • Badaling: The most popular section, easily accessible, but can be crowded. • Jinshanling or Simatai: More remote and less crowded, ideal for hiking. If you are a first-time visitor, Mutianyu or Badaling is recommended for ease of access, especially with family or for a short visit. Arrival at the Wall (9:00 AM): 3. Explore the Wall – Spend 2-3 hours walking along the Great Wall, depending on the section you choose. • Mutianyu: Take the cable car up, walk along the Wall, and descend via the toboggan for fun. There are several towers and scenic views to enjoy. • Badaling: If you want to climb a lot, Badaling offers many watchtowers. You can also take the cable car for easier access. • Jinshanling/Simatai: These sections require more physical effort, with a mix of challenging climbs and fewer tourists. 4. Photography and Scenic Views – The Great Wall is one of the most photogenic sites in the world. Take time to capture the wall snaking through the mountains. Lunch (12:30 PM): 5. Local Lunch Near the Wall – After a few hours of exploring, have a traditional Chinese lunch at a nearby restaurant. You’ll find local specialties like beef noodle soup or roast duck in many of the nearby villages. Afternoon: 6. Continued Exploration or Visit a Local Village (1:30 PM) – If you’re still up for it, explore a bit more of the Great Wall or visit a nearby village like Gubei Water Town (if you’re at Simatai) for a cultural experience. 7. Return to Beijing (3:00 PM) – Head back to Beijing, which takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic. Optional Evening (6:00 PM): 8. Relaxing Dinner in Beijing – After your Great Wall adventure, enjoy a relaxed dinner in Beijing. Try Peking Duck or explore the famous Wangfujing Street for street food. Additional Tips: • Weather: The Wall can be chilly in the early morning, so dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. • Stay Hydrated: There are limited food and water stalls along some parts of the Wall. • Time: To really enjoy your visit, it’s better to start early and plan for about 5-6 hours of exploration.

#TravelPlan Here as promised, a Beijing travel plan. Since Beijing has a lot of places to visit, each place is quite large and takes a long time to visit. This time, there may be some places that some people think why not go (this is the second time I've planned my trip). This time, I didn't make it too heavy. I focused on places that you can actually go to, so you don't have to rush to visit. I also left time for taking pictures. On the first day, I switched up my plan a bit (I didn't change it). Tiantan was changed to the morning, and the Forbidden City to the afternoon. Because Tiantan takes less time, we can spend time at the Forbidden City without rushing. The plan can be adjusted according to your convenience. I focus on being flexible and easy. 😆😆Beijing #beijing #travelchina #china

I came to Beijing for a trip with my elder sister this time. 🌽We booked this hotel. As soon as we step out of the hotel, we are on Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. It only takes 2 minutes to walk to Wangfujing Subway Station! And right beside it, we can visit Wangfujing Bookstore! This hotel is really high-end.🍐 🌶️Environment: The environment is very cozy. The only thing is that the bathroom is a bit narrow, but generally, people don't really mind that. The environment of the restaurant downstairs in the hotel is nice, and the food there tastes good too.🫐 🍅Service: When we entered the hotel, the staff helped us with our luggage. The receptionist ladies at the front desk and the cleaning aunties are all very kind. The security guard uncle at the entrance is also extremely enthusiastic. The mineral water and tea bags in the hotel are all free. Since we were in a hurry, we didn't book the breakfast.🥨 🥬Facilities: You need to swipe your card to enter the hotel, which makes me feel very safe. The rooms are all controlled by smart systems, which is really high-tech. There is also a very cute robot that can deliver takeout, which is really advanced.🍷 🍇Surroundings: It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square from here, and it takes less than 10 minutes to get there by bike. There are many scenic spots nearby, such as the Forbidden City, the National Museum of China, Beihai Park, the Temple of Heaven Park, and so on.🍺

The Mutianyu Great Wall is a picturesque scene, like a giant dragon lying quietly in the green mountains and valleys. With high vegetation coverage, it offers different scenery in each season. Spring 🌸 brings blooming mountain flowers, summer 🌳 offers the shade of lush trees, autumn 🍁 paints the mountains with red leaves, and winter ❄️ covers everything in a silver blanket. Compared to the Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu opens later, closing at 6:30 pm on weekends during peak season. Visitors are evenly distributed, avoiding crowds and long queues, making it especially suitable for family trips and outings with children. Moreover, its unique No. 3 watchtower, a three-platform interconnected structure with a hollow center, boasts a distinctive architectural style and high viewing value. Opening hours: 8:00 am - 5:30 pm daily, extended to 6:30 pm on weekends during peak season. Ticket prices: Adults: CNY 40/person, free for those under 18 and over 60. Combined ticket (admission + shuttle bus + round-trip cable car or chairlift up and toboggan down): Adults: CNY 200, seniors: CNY 180, children above 1.2m: CNY 155. The Mutianyu Great Wall's 20 watchtowers are divided into three sections: east, middle, and west: East section (watchtowers 1-6): The scenery is slightly less impressive than the west section. Watchtower No. 1, the Dajiaolou, connects the three sections of the Great Wall, and No. 4, Zhengguantai, is a uniquely shaped hollow watchtower. Middle section (watchtowers 6-14): Gentle slopes, fewer steps, and ordinary scenery. West section (watchtowers 14-20): Concentrated scenic spots. Here you'll find the No. 14 watchtower with the inscription "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man," No. 15, the filming location of "If You Are the One," and watchtowers 19-20, the steeper section known as Haohanpo (the slope for true men), with No. 20, Yingxiongtai (Hero's Terrace), being the highest point. Cable car up and toboggan down (CNY 200/person): Suitable for visitors with children who want to experience the toboggan (not suitable for seniors over 60). Take the cable car from the north entrance to watchtower No. 14, proceed to No. 20, return to No. 6, and finally descend via the toboggan. Round-trip cable car (CNY 140/person): Saves time and effort, allowing you to enjoy the best scenery. Take the cable car to watchtower No. 14, proceed to No. 20, return to No. 14, and descend by cable car. Chairlift up and toboggan down (CNY 140/person): Saves effort and offers the fun of the toboggan. Take the chairlift to watchtower No. 6, proceed to No. 4 or No. 1, return to No. 6, and descend via the toboggan. Hiking trail (free): Suitable for those in good physical condition. From the south entrance, follow the south trail to watchtower No. 6 (the south trail is easier to climb than the north trail), then proceed to No. 14 and No. 20 (or No. 1), and finally descend from No. 6. Food near Mutianyu 1. Master Yu Farmhouse Restaurant Located at No. 1, Xinying Village, Mutianyu Great Wall, Huairou District, Beijing, this is the first local farmhouse restaurant featuring rainbow trout fishing. The ingredients are either homegrown or supplied by local farmers, ensuring freshness and quality. Highly recommended dishes include crispy fish head, braised fish bones, and fried fish steak, each bite offering a lingering taste. 2.

The dumplings have various fillings and delicious flavors, with the mackerel and chive dumplings being a standout. Enjoying the food here offers a deep dive into Beijing's traditional folk food culture. 3.

It specializes in Sichuan and Shandong cuisine, local specialties, and home-style dishes. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Great Wall while dining, adding a unique touch to your meal. 4. Burger King Located in Mutianyu Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing, near the Mutianyu Great Wall, this is a must-try for fans of Western fast food. It offers a variety of delicious burgers, fast food, and fries, providing a quick energy boost during your visit. 5. Mutianyu Mountain Villa Located at the foot of the Mutianyu Great Wall, Huairou District, Beijing, this restaurant offers an elegant environment and a wide selection of dishes. Specialties like roast whole lamb, stewed chicken, and stir-fried tofu are authentic and popular among tourists. Dining here allows you to fully experience the rural charm at the foot of the Great Wall. Tips Wear comfortable athletic shoes and light clothing. The Great Wall has many steps and some steep slopes. Pay attention to wind protection and warmth in winter 🧣. Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day for beautiful scenery and good photo opportunities 📸. It's crowded on holidays, so start early to avoid peak hours. Most museums in the city are closed on Mondays, and the Great Wall is crowded, so try to avoid Mondays. Food and drinks in the scenic area are expensive, so bring your own water and snacks, such as bread and chocolate 🍫. The toboggan speed is controllable and not scary. It's not open on rainy days and not suitable for people over 60 (choose the chairlift instead). There is no shade on the Great Wall, so take sun protection measures in summer 🌞. Allow enough time for the return trip. If you take the 4 pm bus back to the city, allow 1.5-2 hrs to descend the mountain to avoid missing the last bus. There are many cats in the scenic area. Cat lovers can bring cat treats 🐱.

Seeing the Great Wall is a must-do if you come to China. The wall is so long but the best spots to visit are definitely near Beijing. I would highly suggest going during off-peak travel times, weekdays, and avoid any national holidays completely! It can get very busy so if you'd like some uninterrupted walking, nice photo opportunities, and a chance to explore on your own time please take my advice and avoid crowded days. You can get there by booking a bus from the city which costs about 80RMB, I highly suggest this option. When my friends and I went we ended up having to take a DiDi there and back which ended up being 700RMB each way! It was about an hour and a half drive but if you leave during rush hour, it can even take up to 4 hours to get back to the city so beware! We chose to go to the Mutianyu gate which is just one of the entrances into the Great Wall, my friends who have been to several gates say this is the best one for your first time (and if it will possibly be your only time visiting). Once you arrive there are a couple of things you have to pay for such as a shittle bus to and from the ticket booths to the wall, (80RMB), a ski lift up to the wall (optional but worth it 120RMB), and the 120 RMB ticket also includes a toboggan ride down the wall which was so fun and totally worth it too. The views are incredible and the historical and cultural significance is overwhelming. As someone who has been fascinated with Chinese culture and history for a long time it was a dream come true and blew away all of my already high expectations. Come prepared to walk and climb lots of stairs so wear comfortable shoes and clothing if you're smart! There are some tourist traps for sure like super expensive souvenirs and men dressed as soldiers who charge extremely high prices just for a picture but otherwise it is lovely. I also highly suggest coming in the fall, when the leaves are changing colors and the weather isn't too hot. #travelinspiration#culturalattraction#scenicspotguide#historicculture#nationalpark

The first time to the Great Wall of China, Mu Tian Yu. Today, there were very few people. It was easy to take pictures. If anyone wants to come, I recommend this checkpoint. It's easy to walk. We bought a one-day tour. It's not really a tour. It's like they helped us book a car and buy tickets for us. But we each went our separate ways and met at the meeting point. 🚘 💰 The tour we booked cost 1,213 Thai baht (including round-trip transportation from the city to the checkpoint - from the checkpoint up a little further - the morning shift - the entrance fee) ✅ I think this checkpoint is clean ✅ Easy to walk ✅ Not many people ✅ Afraid of heights, quite suitable. I'm afraid too, but taking the morning shift takes about 4 minutes. It looks stable. ❌ Not recommended for wheelchairs You can see the details to help you decide.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 As the old saying goes, "He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man." Since it is a rare opportunity to come to Beijing, there is no way that you would not visit the Great Wall. At first I had to choose between Badaling and Mutianyu. Zhongran Badaling is more convenient than Mutianyu in terms of geographical location, but after seeing the photos of Badaling being crowded, overcrowded and difficult to move, I decisively chose Mutianyu. Chatting with the locals, I learned that the scenery between Badaling and Mutianyu is not that different. The slope of Mutianyu is relatively flat, which is more suitable for the elderly and children. Badaling has more tourists because there are other scenic spots nearby, which makes it convenient for tour guides to lead groups at one time, so they are more inclined to promote Badaling. However, there is still a part of Mutianyu that has not been developed and is not open to tourists yet. I recommend taking the cable car up the mountain and the slide down the mountain ⛰️ It is close to the Great Wall. The people taking the cable car will take pictures for you. You can buy the photos if you are interested. Whether you can ride the slide depends entirely on luck. It started to rain when I was about to go down the mountain that day. For safety reasons, the slide had to be suspended. I hope I will have a chance to try it next time~ PS: If you take the bus, be careful of the black taxis, they will solicit tourists at the bus transfer station! I suggest going in the morning, as there are more buses, which can reduce the chance of encountering black taxis. ⌛️Opening hours: 07:30-18:00 📍Address: Jundu Mountain, Huairou District, Beijing #ChineseAttractions #TheGreatWall #Mutianyu #Xiaozhen'sTravels

🧐 There are so many sections of the Great Wall, so why did I choose Mutianyu? Here's how I made my decision: 1. Badaling? Although it is the most famous section of the Great Wall, it is always crowded with people, whether in the off-season or peak season. It's hard to take a photo without people in it! 😩 2. Juyongguan? Steep and dangerous, with a high level of difficulty! For this trip to the Great Wall, I wanted a relaxing and enjoyable experience, not a physical challenge! 💪 3. Shuiguan? Although it has a unique "V"-shaped water gate watchtower and historical sites, some sections are steep. More importantly, the infrastructure and commercial development of Shuiguan may not be as good as Mutianyu, which may affect the overall experience. 😔 4. Mutianyu? It was simply made to meet all my needs! First of all, it is close to the city center and very convenient to get to! Secondly, it is moderately difficult, making it suitable for family trips with children or the elderly. Most importantly, it is equipped with cable cars and toboggans, making it super fun! You can choose to hike or take the cable car or toboggan, and decide whether you want to walk or have a relaxing time! 🎢 Moreover, Mutianyu is a popular destination for foreign tourists, families, and the elderly. It is not only beautiful but also rich in history and culture! 🎬 It was also a filming location for the movie "If You Are the One"! 🧗‍♀️ The best route at Mutianyu that won't tire you out! We chose the central route. Although the west and east routes are recommended online, we considered the elderly and children who wanted to play on the toboggan, so we chose to take the cable car up and the toboggan down, from Watchtower 14 to Watchtower 6. It was all downhill, with fewer people and great views, making it a perfect experience! 💯 👭 For family trips with children or the elderly, this route is highly recommended! It's easy to take photos and enjoy the fun of climbing the Great Wall! 💰 Here's a breakdown of the costs! Remember to plan ahead! 🚌 Bus: CNY 80 per adult, CNY 40 per child aged 4–10. You can buy various tickets on the bus, which is very convenient! 🚠 Cable car up and toboggan down: CNY 200 round-trip (although a bit expensive, it takes only 10 minutes to reach the top, which is worth it!) 🎫 Ticket: CNY 40 per person 🕒 Here's the timeline for the day! Remember to save it! 🌈 8:00: Take the bus from Hepingxiqiao to Mutianyu. It's a direct bus, which is very convenient! 🕚 9:20: Arrive at Mutianyu, buy water at the foot of the mountain, and take the shuttle bus to the Great Wall! 🕛 9:50: Take the cable car to Watchtower 14 in 10 minutes, and take a photo at the "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man" sign! 📸 🕜 12:30: Walk from Watchtower 14 to Watchtower 6. We walked slowly and took breaks along the way. 🕝 12:45: Take the toboggan down the mountain, queue for 15 minutes, very fast! 🕟 14:30: Take the bus back to the city, get off at the Olympic Park, and visit the Bird's Nest and Water Cube! 👉 Follow Trip.com Bus and book in advance 👸⏰

Explore History at the Great Wall of China – Mutianyu East Side 🌟 A Journey Through Time Visiting the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu was an unforgettable experience! Located just a short distance from Beijing, this section is one of the best-preserved and less crowded compared to Badaling. 🌳 I chose to explore the East Side, which offers breathtaking panoramic views.

#WinterTravel ✨Mutianyu Great Wall✨ is another viewpoint of the Great Wall of China and is a beautiful pass with a tall fortress. It is another AAAAA World Heritage Site in China and is also one of the wonders of the world. The best time to visit is in the summer when the trees are lush and the flowers are blooming. In December, the leaves have all fallen and it is winter. The air is dry and the atmosphere is lonely. The place we went to, we took a cable car up and back. There is a chair to go up and a slide down. If you like which one, try to arrange it. #China #China #GreatWall #mutianyugreatwall #travelbeijing

| Highly recommend Mutianyu Great Wall! [Introduction]: ❄️ Mutianyu Great Wall is a peaceful and ancient place. 🔥 Mutianyu Great Wall is more famous than Badaling Great Wall internationally. Many foreign friends choose Mutianyu Great Wall when they visit Beijing. - 🙋 If you want to visit Mutianyu Great Wall, we recommend booking a private car. 1️⃣ Mutianyu Great Wall is about 1.5 hours' drive from downtown Beijing. It's exhausting to take a bus for such a long journey. 2️⃣ Especially for family trips, a private car is more flexible and convenient for taking care of the elderly and children. ⛺ [Travel tips]: [Travel routes] A: West Route (Towers 14-20): Take the cable car to Tower 14 (Stele of "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man") ➡️ Walk west to Tower 15 (filming location of "If You Are the One") ➡️ Tower 17 (the words "Loyal to MZX" are written on the mountain to the west) ➡️ Tower 18 (Boundary Stele) ➡️ Towers 19 & 20 (Hero Slope is in the middle) ➡️ Tower 20 (the highest peak, "Hero Platform") ➡️ Return the same way (take the cable car down) 👉 This is the most classic route of Mutianyu Great Wall, with all the classic check-in points. It is also the most exhausting route, suitable for those with plenty of time and energy. B: East Route (Towers 6-1): Take the cable car to Tower 6 ➡️ Walk east to Tower 4 (Zhengguan Platform) ➡️ Tower 1 (Dajiao Tower) ➡️ Return the same way (take the slide down) 👉 We took this route, which is suitable for family trips and visitors with other plans in the afternoon. It is not very exhausting, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Great Wall. The most important thing is that you can take the slide down the mountain on this route, which is very exciting. C: Middle Route (Towers 14-6): This route is relatively flat, with no special check-in points. You can take the cable car or slide down, or if you have enough time, you can combine the west and east routes for a grand slam. 🛬 [Itinerary]: 🟢 Book in advance so the driver can arrange a car for you. 🟢 Confirm the time with the driver before departure so the driver can arrive early. 🟢 If you have special needs, communicate with the driver in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings during the trip. Mutianyu Great Wall

Beijing Fall Must-Visit Attractions: 1. Xiangshan Park: Xiangshan's red leaves have a long history, with layers of mountains and ridges, spectacular and beautiful. Every late autumn, the yellow and red maple trees on Xiangshan change color, making it a great place to climb and enjoy the red leaves in autumn. 2. Badaling Great Wall: As part of the Great Wall, Badaling Great Wall also shows a different style in autumn. Climb high and look far, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of autumn. 3. Mutianyu Great Wall: Fresh air, dense trees, and more than 3,000 meters of red leaf forest, you can feel the long history and profound culture. 4. Pofengling: In autumn, the mountains are full of red leaves, and the layers of forests are dyed, decorating the gorgeous autumn scenery. Climb "Eagle's Beak Rock" to enjoy the red Pofengling. 5. Laba Gou Primitive Forest Park: In autumn, the red leaves are colorful, and the primitive birch forest scenic area is known as the "natural oxygen bar." 6. Gubei Water Town: Autumn is getting stronger, and the leaves are turning red. The red romance woven by the five-leaf ground brocade outlines the whole splendid autumn scenery of Gubei Water Town. 7. Hongluo Temple: Nearly 600 hectares of red and colorful leaf forests are covered with colorful clouds, forming a solemn, gorgeous, and interesting autumn scenery of the ancient temple. These attractions are great places to enjoy autumn in Beijing. I hope you can enjoy this beautiful season.

If departing from Beijing, most people tend to visit Badaling as it’s closer to the capital. However, I chose Mutianyu for a less crowded experience. Mutianyu is one of the most well-preserved and picturesque sections of the Great Wall of China, located about 70 kilometers northeast of Beijing. I booked a tour from Beijing that offered both English and Chinese language options, as I was traveling solo at the time. The tour departs early in the morning and gives you the option of taking the cable car both ways or just one way. Lunch was not included. I opted to take the cable car up and walked down on the return. Mutianyu is especially stunning in autumn when the surrounding mountains are blanketed in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Even though I arrived in early November, which is late autumn, I was still able to see the mountains covered in beautiful colors. It was amazing! Be sure to hike from Watchtower 1 to 20—Watchtower 20, also known as the "Grand Corner Tower," offers the most panoramic views of the colorful landscape and is definitely worth the steep climb. #autumnbeauty

#autumnseason The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, located just 70 kilometers from central Beijing, offers a stunning and less crowded alternative to the more tourist-heavy Badaling area. Known for its picturesque scenery and well-preserved watchtowers, Mutianyu is a great spot to experience the majesty of the Great Wall while enjoying breathtaking views of lush forests and rolling hills. Whether you’re hiking along its winding path or taking a thrilling ride down the toboggan, Mutianyu provides a perfect blend of history, adventure, and natural beauty. Travel Tips: * Arrive Early or Late: To enjoy a quieter experience, visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The lighting is also ideal for photography during these times. * Take the Cable Car or Chairlift: If you want to skip the initial steep climb, opt for the cable car or chairlift, which take you directly to the wall. For a fun descent, take the toboggan down—an exhilarating way to end your visit!

#AugustGoodPlaces2024 #100TravelWays #China #Beijing #FreeTravel #WorldHeritage #MutianyuGreatWall #WesternLine The No. 14 enemy tower of the Mutianyu Great Wall looks very large from the outside, like a bunker, but after entering, it doesn’t feel very spacious, but rather crowded. The contrast is quite big. I believe it’s because everyone who took the cable car up the mountain has come here.

#AugustGoodPlaces2024 #100TravelWays #China #Beijing #FreeTravel #WorldHeritage #Mutianyu #20thEyeTower The 20th EyeTower of Mutianyu Great Wall is the highest point of the open section. Although some travel notes say that the 21st-24th EyeTowers and even the Jiankou Great Wall are there, it seems that the way to get there has been blocked, and there are also people watching at the 20th EyeTower. The view from Tower 20 is good, but the bottlenecks above and below are often crowded. Visitors in a hurry may have to turn back after reaching the lower level of Tower 19.

Ever since I was a young boy I dreamed of walking on the great wall of China. I had saw the wall in photos, paintings and books but never thought I would be able to go myself. A visit to Beijing put me within a stones through of the Great wall of China. I booked a tour to the Mutianyu section and felt like a child at Christmas, filled with excitement. The night before my trip I received a phone call saying my tour was cancelled. Due to the heavy rain that night the wall would be closed. I was so disappointed. In the morning, with the help of friends from Beijing, I decided to make my own way to the great wall. Even if I couldn't get on the wall, maybe I could see it? A subway, a bus, a train and a taxi journey later, I approached the Mutianyu visitor center. To my luck, they had opened just 1 hour before hand. I COULD WALK ON THE WALL AFTER ALL! I chose to hike to the wall instead of the cable car. The long sweaty hike took me 30 minutes, before I saw the wall through the trees. I ran the last few metres, and finally, after everything, I was stood on the great wall of China! I was overcome with emotion. I was so incredibly happy! What made it even better was that due to the Mutianyu section only just opening, the wall was not busy, with few people! I walked for hours on the great wall of china and loved every minute. I recommend it to everyone! The experience also taught me that there is always a way to achieve your dreams, even if there are obstacles on the way. #100WaysOfTravel #china #greatwallofchina #historicallandmarks #localguides #mutianyu
