#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.🍺

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.

🧐 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. Walking along the endless stretches of the wall felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by centuries of history. 🚠 Excitement Along the Way One highlight of the trip was taking the cable car up to the starting point, saving energy while enjoying incredible views of the mountains and the wall. 🏞️ After an exhilarating hike, I opted for the Toboggan Slide to descend, which was an absolute thrill and left me smiling all the way down! 📸 Tips for Your Visit Be sure to bring water and wear comfortable shoes for a seamless exploration. 🥾 For stunning photos, visit in the morning or late afternoon when the lighting enhances the beauty of the wall. Mutianyu is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. If you ever get the chance, don’t miss experiencing the grandeur of the Great Wall for yourself! ❤️ Don’t wait—pack your bags and discover the wonders of the Great Wall at Mutianyu today! 💼 #travel #china #beijing #greatwall #mutianyu

#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!

One of the most famous landmark in China is The great walls, Actually there have many gate to visit and I choosed "MuTianYu". As a tourist and foreigner, I booked one day trip with Mubus tour. There has round trip bus from Beijing directly to the great wall and also had guide who can speak english. MuTianYu Great Walls, There have many to get up there, who love advanture can walk 40-50 mins. There also have cable cars and Togbaggan. (Divide to 2 side (West and East). After get up on the wall, There have 20 towers. Enjoy the moment and look how increbidle human made, beautiful scenic and landscape. #mutianyu #mutianyugreatwall #beijing #china #greatwall #mubus #7wonders #7wondersoftheworld #chinatrip

#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

🚌 I visited the Great Wall at Mutianyu. I went with a company called Mubus. They were amazing! For 150rmb, they provided a bus to and from the Great Wall, as well as covered ticket prices for entry. For additional costs, you can choose to toboggan down the wall! 🎋 I went in early March, which I highly recommend. It was quiet and still, allowing for perfect pictures and a much more laid back experience. While you may not have the lush greenery that surrounds the Great Wall during the summer months, there were many upsides to going off season. In addition to it being less crowded, it was also much cooler than it would be in the summer. ✨ The Great Wall really is so special and I am so happy I got to see it and hike it. This piece of history is so amazing! #mytravelhacks #trip #beijinggreatwall #greatwallofchina #mutianyu #mubus #chinatravel

|How to visit Mutianyu Great Wall with the least crowds? . We went to Mutianyu at that time and were the first wave of tourists to arrive. When we arrived, the staff had not yet gone to work and the ropeway had not yet opened, so we took a lot of photos of Mutianyu with only the scenery and no other tourists ~ I also hope that I The guide can help everyone Try to avoid going to Mutianyu Great Wall on Mondays. Because all museums in Beijing are closed on Mondays, there will be more people at the Great Wall, and there will also be traffic jams on Mondays. We chartered a bus there on a Wednesday on a working day. From the time we went up to the time we came down, we saw no more than 20 tourists in total~ There may be a lot of people during holidays, so it is recommended to charter a car. The chartered bus departs at 6 o'clock and arrives before the gate opens at 7.30. This was the case for us at the time. When we arrived, the ropeway was not open yet, so we waited for a while before going in. When we first went up, there were only three of us. I saw that the bus at the front door would leave at 8 or 9 o'clock, but it was almost noon when we arrived, so I decisively gave up and chose a chartered bus. Before chartering a car, remember to confirm whether the shuttle bus ticket is included. The car we chartered went directly to the parking lot in Figure 2, and we didn’t even have to go there to queue up for the shuttle bus. !Make emphasis! Avoid Mondays, charter a car and arrive early~ How to climb the Great Wall at Mutianyu, as shown in Figure 3 It is divided into two lines: the west line and the east line, and there are three ways: walking, ropeway/pulley, and cable car. West Line: Cable car up and down. The cable car arrives at Watchtower No. 14, and goes from Watchtower No. 14 to Watchtower No. 20 to take photos of Haohan Slope, and then returns to Watchtower No. 14 and gets off the cable car. East Route: Cableway/Speedway: You can go up and down the cableway, or you can go up and down the cableway and the pulley, both of which go back and forth from the No. 6 watchtower. The combination we chose at that time is shown in Figure 4 East and West Lines: If you want to experience both the East and West Lines, there are two ways. One is to take the cable car up and down the No. 14 Watchtower, and then go up the cableway to the No. 6 Watchtower and go down the slide. In this way, you can experience all three modes of transportation and both the East and West Lines. Second, go to the No. 14 watchtower on the cable car. Walk from the No. 14 watchtower to the No. 6 watchtower and go down the ropeway or slide. This is a bit of a test of physical strength. Regarding the fare for climbing the Great Wall Cable cars, ropeways, slides, etc. all cost 100 yuan for a single trip and 140 yuan for a round trip, so consider buying tickets in advance and don’t waste money~ It’s really easy to take photos of the Great Wall with only the scenery~ I hope my guide can help everyone. If you like it, remember to like and save it. Oh~w If you don’t understand anything, feel free to leave a message in the message box~If you have any questions, Must answer

#chinatrip We took the bus from Beijing up to the Great Wall starting at about 7am, hoping to beat the crowds. It was still crazy busy, but at least the morning weather was good for the climb. At the entrance, there are a bunch of shops selling food and souvenirs. There are even a couple bear habitats. From there, we opted for the "toboggan" to take us half way up, to the Fourth Tower. And then the real climb begins. To get all the way to the Eighth Tower is quite the climb. There are uneven steps, and smooth paths, sometimes reaching about a 45degre slope! It was really neat to see and the views are spectacular. Coming down was easier but still difficult in places with uneven steps and such. Overall, it really is a must see, but be prepared for the workout!

Mutianyu (慕田峪长城) is one of the best-preserved and most picturesque sections of the Great Wall of China. It is located in the mountains 70 km northeast of Beijing. I liked this section of the wall much more than Badaling (八达岭). You can get here with a tour group or on your own. If you're going independently, you need to get to the Dongzhimen Public Transport Hub (东直门交通枢纽), take bus 916块, get off at the final stop Huairou Beidajie (怀柔北大街), cross the road, take bus H23, get off at Mutianyu Huandao (慕田峪环岛). Then walk back a little and you'll see the entrance to the ticket offices. Before the entrance to the wall, there is a parking lot, souvenir shops, and cafes. You can buy a ticket for the cable car and ride it to the 14th tower, then walk in either direction. I also recommend buying a ticket for the toboggan ride down from the Great Wall. It costs 100 yuan. The wall itself runs along the mountain ridges, rising to a height of 1,000 meters above sea level. The views are simply stunning - endless crenellated walls wind along the mountain ridges, disappearing into the distance. It's especially beautiful here on a clear day. Walking along the wall is quite a challenge due to the numerous steps and steep climbs. But the effort is worth it - the sight of the ancient stone structures, shrouded in legends and history, is mesmerizing. Overall, Mutianyu left an indelible impression on me. It is one of the must-see attractions when visiting Beijing and China. I recommend setting aside at least half a day to leisurely stroll along the wall and enjoy the views. #cherryblossom2024 #greatwall #china #Beijing #mutianyu #localguides #mytravelhacks #songkran2024

The Great Wall of China, a world wonder with over 2,000 years of history, is a must-see attraction, stretching over 3,000 miles across northern China and standing as one of the most impressive ancient structures in the world.🏳️ There are many sections of the wall you can visit some restored and others not including: 1. Badaling 2. Mutianyu 3. Jinshanling 4. Juyongguan 5. Gubeikou 6. Jiankou Badaling is the most famous one. As a result, it is often very crowde and unpleasant. Through me experience the most fun section to visit for the first time is the Mutianyu section. Mutianyu Great Wall provides stunning views of the Great Wall and nearby hills with fewer tourists compared to Badaling. It also offers an exciting toboggan run to slide from the Wall's top to the hill's bottom. Yes, slide your way down from the wall. 😮 Hiking Plans:🎿 1. It has 23 watchtowers, and hiking the entire trip takes about 4 hours, requiring excellent physical strength. 2. Most tourists opt to take the cable car to tower 14 and hike a portion of the trail before descending by cable car or sliding down from tower 6. Wheelchair-friendly:♿️ There is a cable car for wheelchair users ascending the wall and ramps to a platform below the 14th watchtower, from which you can appreciate the beautiful scenery from the Great Wall. Prices and timetable:💰⏳️ Opening hours summer: 7:00 - 17:00 Opening hours winter: 9:00 - 16:30 Ticket: CNY 40 There are two ways to go up and down the wall: 1. Cable Car:🚠 Take a box cable car up to the No. 14 Watchtower. Single Trip: CNY 100 Round Trip: CNY 140 2. Chairlift / Toboggan:🛝 Take a chairlft to the top and the toboggan down from No. 6 Watchtower. (RECOMMENDED) Single Trip: CNY 100 Round Trip: CNY 140 How to get there (around 1.5 hours from Bejing): 1. Taxi-Didi:🚖 Price: CNY 210-260 Time: 55 minutes 2.Train+taxi:🚆🚖 There is no direct train, but you can take a train from Bejing Railway station to Huairou. (About CNY 12.5, time needed 1 hour) and then from there you can take a taxi. (Needs 20 minutes and cost around CNY 70-90). 3.Bus:🚍 There are many buses that go close to the great walls, like 916 and 867. Price: CNY 16 Time: 2.5 hours 4. My Recommendation:👔 Traveling alone may cause troubles like language barriers, queuing for tickets, and finding the best routes.Taking public buses in China's countryside is challenging due to overcrowding and lack of English communication. I suggest that taking a group tour is cheap and convenient. There are unlimited choices of tours in the Great Wall. Trip.com tour is one of the best of those choices.

If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man. There are two famous Great Wall attractions in Beijing, namely the Badaling Great Wall and the Mutianyu Great Wall. Mutianyu Great Wall is relatively less visited, so we chose it as our destination. On that day, we took the official tourist bus from the distribution center, which took two hours from Qianmen Street to Mutianyu, and then took the cable car up the mountain. There are twenty watchtowers in Mutianyu, and the cable car goes directly to the fourteenth watchtower. Go straight ahead from the 14th watchtower to the 20th watchtower, which is also the steepest one, also known as the Hero's Slope. The slope of the Hero's Slope is about 70 to 80 degrees at the end, and many people need to use their hands and feet. Looking at the Great Wall from the top, one cannot help but admire the people who built it. #Beijing #GreatWall #MutianyuGreatWall
