Visit Mutianyu Great Wall

It is ranked top on Trip Advisor among all the Great Wall sections, for its picturesque scenery and beautifully restored architecture. This is the most child-friendly section, with various ways of visiting.In order to save time for you, we arrange a round-trip cable car to ascend and descend the Wall, instead of spending about 30 minutes climbing steps.

At the Wall, you have free time to walk around, after some introductory explanations from your guide. The cable car ascends to and descends from tower 14. Hike “the most beautiful and interesting part of the Great Wall” — between the 14th and 23rd watch towers — acknowledged by hikers as "the golden route". It normally takes about 2 hours (2-3 km) to complete the walk. Then descend and take a bus to transfer back to our vehicle.

There is a lot of history to tell about Tiananmen Square. It has a Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. It has witnessed many important incidents of China. Your guide will provide you with a commentary about the history and architecture as well as anecdotes of the square.

    Our family had a wonderful day exploring a remarkable ancient structure that stretches across the hills, filled with breathtaking views. After a scenic hike, we moved on to a fascinating historical site, where we marveled at the intricate architecture and learned about its storied past. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing captivating tales that kept our kids engaged throughout. We also appreciated the flexibility of customizing our itinerary, which allowed us to focus on what excited us the most. One suggestion would be to include a bit more time at the second site, as we felt rushed towards the end of our visit. Overall, it was a memorable experience that provided us with a perfect blend of adventure and education.

    Our time spent at the Great Wall was truly something special; the views from Mutianyu were absolutely breathtaking and not as crowded as we anticipated. The customized experience allowed us to explore at our own pace, which made the day feel personal and less rushed, especially when wandering through the Forbidden City’s fascinating halls. We appreciated the knowledgeable guide who shared intriguing stories about the wall’s history and the significance of the imperial city, adding layers to our visit. A minor suggestion would be to enhance the lunch options; while the local cuisine was decent, we hoped for a bit more variety to match the day’s adventurous spirit. Overall, this tour was a perfect balance of exploration, history, and vivid scenery, making it a worthwhile escape from our business commitments.
