Full description
Explore the most well-known and preserved section of the Great Wall in Mutianyu. This section is a UNESCO heritage site has appeared in some Hollywood movies and has been climbed by former US President Barack Obama. Depart from Beijing at your hotel at around 7 AM with a shared pick-up or meet at the downtown station at around 8 AM. Head to Mutianyu with a convenient air-conditioned transfer. Arrive in Mutianyu at around 9-9:30 AM. Take amazing photos of the Mutianyu Wall from multiple angles - either down from the hill or up from the wall if you purchase the admission ticket option. Then, challenge yourself with a 5-6km hike from the bottom to the top of the highest station which was once a beacon. Or take an easier route with the cable car option so that you can ascend the later half directly. Enjoy around 3-3.5 hours to explore by yourself. Include a 10-dish authentic Chinese lunch at checkout and enjoy the lunch at around 12:30 PM just next to the parking lot.

The price of the trip was well worth it . I can’t see the benefit of spending more, the result will be the same . We were picked up at our hotel in a big tour bus , on time , and Flower was our English speaking guide . The bus was nearly a full house but that didn’t change anything , the experience was good . It took about 1.5 hours to get there . Unless u want to walk 1000steps to the wall you will have two options of sections you want to see by chair lift , 140Yuan($20USD) for west or east wall or combo package for 280Yuan ($40USD) . Most on the bus opted for combo package as did we. My advice is unless you want to have the added fun of taking a Toboggan down( it was fun though) , which is only available from the East wall section I would say just go for the West Wall section. It’s nicer , flatter , and that’s where officials and dignitaries go when they come and visit the wall. We prepaid for lunch and it was worth it and plentiful.

I believe that travel from Beijing to the Great Wall could have better Organization as all people was in the bus at 8:00 am, but the driver Take a lot of time to get there. He was driving too slow in the road and sometimes giving way to the other cars… all people was not happy as we should be in the Great Wall around 9:30h and in fact we arrived after 11:00. People doesn’t not understand way had to wake up so early to be there so late.

Lovely trip. Flower is really motivated and helpful guide. What you pay here is literally for the bus ride so expect another 280 RMB for the 2 cable cars +slide but it’s ok. The bus is very small and uncomfortable and I would strongly recommend to charge 5 or 10 USD more to offer a more luxurious seating. In this one after arriving at the destination all your bones and muscles are aching. Try to download at least Alipay (which has a messenger as well) before you reach to China. The tour team relies heavily on WeChat which of course will not work for foreigners. In my case they had to call the hotel and leave a message for me. All in all still highly recommendable trip. Above information are just for you to be aware.
