Highlights
  • Mutianyu Great Wall - Your English speaking tour guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby or airport (optional) at appointed time. Then you’d head for Mutianyu Great Wall directly in a private car. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to get there.

Round trip shuttle bus and cable car are necessary in this trip (to save much of your time walking and climbing), which is included in the price. Your tour guide will be with you all the time. You don’t need to worry about where to go.

After you get off from our car, there is a 5 minutes’ shuttle bus drive to get to the entrance. After that, you’ll get on the Great Wall in 5 or 6 minutes by the cable car. Then you can walk along the Great Wall as much as you can, enjoying the views and taking pictures. You’ll have 2 or 3 hours staying on the Great Wall.

You’ll get down from the Great Wall by cable car again and then a 5 minutes’ shuttle bus drive again to come back to our private car.

A Chinese lunch will be arranged in a local restaurant in the town after the trip.

Additional Information

Experience the peace and tranquility of the Mutianyu Great Wall, a less crowded and more serene alternative to Badaling Great Wall. Spend a day absorbing the history and panoramic views of the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu, guided by a professional. Escape the hustle and bustle as you relax at the less crowded Mutianyu Great Wall, where an optional cable car ride is available. Throughout the approximate three-hour journey, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the natural landscape and the 13th-century architectural wonders of the Great Wall while enjoying round-trip transport from Beijing including lunch, guide, and admission fees.

In comparison to other sections, the Mutianyu Great Wall is relatively untouched - its commercial footprint is less noticeable, visitor numbers are fewer, and it has been subject to less renovation. From the top of the wall, get a sweeping view of the surrounding countryside, resplendent with fruit and chestnut orchards and carefully curated old pine trees.

  • Children must be accompanied by an adult
  • Please wear comfortable hiking shoes or sneakers; Sunscreen, water, hat are highly recommended to bring

Great explanation and ways to tour mutianyu great wall - I have been to badaling great wall long time ago. This time I accompany mu friends from Australia to tour Beijing. Mutianyu is a fairly new section of the great wall. I was surprised that the view is great. Tour guide gave us different ways to travel the wall and help us decide how we want to travel. Great tour!

Exactly as advertised, without hidden Sales etc. - The tour guide Iris was very welcoming and tried her best to make us feel comfortable. We were also a quite small group with 6 westerners and 2 locals and the driver was kind and spoke English, it also was no issue to make him drop me off closer to my hostel after the tour. Once you reach the Great Wall, you are free to explore it on your own, so don't expect any additional commentary etc. but the tour guide gave as tips about how to best navigate around the Wall and the different options. The lunch was nothing extraordinary and more in the style of a Western Asia buffet, but still quite tasty. Soft drinks were about 15 RMB. Overall I can definitely recommend this tour, if you don't need an extensive commentary and want to avoid included trips to a jade factory and other scams.

Superb day trip, strongly recocomended! - I had a biz trip and on my spare time planned a day trip to the Great Wall. What was great about the trip is not thethe Great Wall but the tour guide who's names was Iris. She is a fluent in English and well-knowledged in Chinese history as well. The trip worth a day in your life, for sure!

Mutianyu with amazing guide IRIS - Really good choice for a guided one day trip to the Great Wall! This is a muuuch less crowded are of the wall than for example Badaling, and at the same time it is only 1,5 hours away from Beijing Center. The tour was very organized and the pick up worked flawless. I especially want to mention our amazing tour guide Iris who gave us a lot of interesting background information about the Wall and more. She made sure everyone felt super comfortable and left no questions open :)
