    You 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. (Visited in 2019)

    Quite commercialized but well worth visiting
    Of 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 green

    Incredible
    Perfect spot to visit the wall. It was a period with very few tourist (not easily accessible by public transport. Better to have a private car). Landscape wonderful, breathtaking. And the options to go up and down the wall are extra !

    The Great Wall of China - done ☑️
    Went to the wall as a must see during our trip to Beijing!! After reading reviews here we booked with Mubus for their tour. Fantastic organisation, collection and timing of the trip. Samantha our guide was brilliant, gave a great briefing and ensured we had all the ticket information needed to take full advantage of our trip to Mutianyu. To top it all we had great weather and company on the wall and really felt part of the Mubus family!! Highly recommended 😂

    Very good
    It was a very convenient way to experience the great wall. From the shuttle bus to the ticketing process, everything was taken care of for me. Plus the tobogganing off the great wall was an unexpected surprise. Would definitely recommend.

    Went with Mubus, trip went great!
    I booked with Mubus, who shuttled me from Beijing to Mutianyu, purchased tickets for me, and guided me through the whole process. They were very helpful and everything was reasonably priced. Mubus also has their own building in the village near the wall with a buffet lunch and snacks.

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 !
