- Seaside189010081563 contributionsYou must see Great Wall!!If you thinking about all of those famous but not worth to visit places, this is NOT Great Wall in China. This place is breathtaking, worth any effort to get there. The only obvious minus is crowd. Almost every single day is full of people.

- Neils SAmsterdam, The Netherlands1 contributionGreat wall of China!Very amazing experience visiting the great wall of China! We have a day tour to this incredible ancient building, the architecture are unbelievable as the same the history. Our guide took us to the less crowd area and got the best photos ever.Visited February 2023Written February 21, 2023
- margitmargalitAnn Arbor, Michigan217 contributionsQuite commercialized but well worth visitingOf course the great wall is a have to have been to. This part idles quite commercial in that the parking is far away, a shuttle to get you close is needed, and then a cable car or rope lift (like ski lift) to get up - there's a 45 min walk to the wall as well but then one is exhausted before starting the actual wall. I was clearly the only older person hiking from tower 6 to 20 - cable car goes to 14 so if you want to go to tower 20, it's best but wasn't in service the day we went. The slide down does allow over 60 year olds. No idea why. Views are impressive though not greenVisited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten March 7, 2023

Fantastic organisation, collection and timing of the trip.

It was a good experience that we took this bus to see such a great world 7 wonder, the Great Wall, with the very nice guide, Mike!!
At first we thought it might be a quite difficult to get to the sight-seeing, but with this one day tour, it was convenient for us to get there!
Mike, he was like a nice elder brother.
Hope one day we will comback here in Beijing.

My trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment I stepped foot on the winding stone steps, I was in awe of the formidable structure. Every stone was well-maintained, and I could feel the history of the wall radiating through me. The view from the top was breathtaking, and I even got to take a cable car ride down! It was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique adventure in Beijing.

Located in Beijing China, this picturesque wall is visible from space! Yes, you read that right! This winding wall is so massive that it can be seen from outer space! It's a great place to take some amazing photos and explore. You can even take a cable car up to the top and have a picnic. So, if you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, the Mutianyu Great Wall is the perfect place to visit!

One of the small sections of the 22000 kms long Great Wall. Visiting this place is no less than an achievement.
Haven’t been to the other sections but all i know is that this one is least crowded. Ropeway to the top is fast. Also while walking to the ropeway, you could see the stone museum and also some ropeway cars which were used by famous personalities like President of the US, Mike Tyson.

The ancient fortification is awe-inspiring, with its grand towers and winding walls visible for miles. The walk up and down the wall is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and the views of the surrounding countryside are breathtaking. The well-preserved sections of the wall are a testament to its strength and endurance. Whether you choose to take the cable car or hike up the stairs, a trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall is an unforgettable experience.

It’s impressive ! I never thought that it would awe me as much as it did.
Knowing more about its history helps to understand the importance of the Great Wall as well as to comprehend why it is one of the 7th wonders !

voy a viajar en septiembre Japón y hago escala en pekín. Estoy viendo la opción de visitar la muralla ya que la escala es de 10 horas. Pero con la mala suerte que posiblemente cuando llegue esté cerrada, ya que llegaré sobre las 17:30. Sabrias si hay opción de ver algo de la muralla aún estando cerrada? Me pasa lo mismo con la ciudad prohibida.
Gracias de antemano

提前预订了慕巴士,7:30来到瑞士公寓,等了5分钟就开车了,可能是比较早的缘故,一路很顺畅,途中随车人员给我们翔实的讲解了慕田峪长城的玩法路线,9:30左右到达检票口开始攀登去城墙。建议体力偏差的人买张缆车票,单程100,往返120,也有索道票,价格一样,但是两家不同的公司运营的。缆车上到14号楼,索道上到6号楼,一路畅快无比,并没有出现像八达岭长城那般摩肩擦踵的情况,这让我庆幸选择慕田峪而不是八达岭的决定是正确的。只是今天天公不作美,一路上伴随着阵阵小雨,再加上有雾,能见度不足,目之所及大多是白茫茫一片,对于拍照党来说实在是一点小小的遗憾。不过换个角度想,正是这白茫茫的大雾,才更给这古老的长城增添了许多神秘感不是吗?也正因为有此小雨,让这长途跋涉才不至于过度燥热。
期待以后有机会秋天再来一次,那时候漫山遍野,层林尽染,皆是一山秋红,想来也是美不胜收的(提醒秋天来的朋友最好带件外套,那时候山上应该比较凉了)。

Hi, air quality in beijing is now at unhealthy level. Anyone has any idea how is the air quality at mutianyu great wall?

We were there in October. I had no idea air quality was an issue. Even Beijing around the Forbidden City seemed fine to me and when we went on the excursion to the Great Wall that was way away from the city and up in the mountains. Certainly nothing wrong with the air up there.
Olá, estarei indo para Pequim daqui um mês e gostaria de ir a muralha de ônibus, como vc fez? lembra de quanto gastou?
