Perhaps you have heard of the Badaling Great Wall, which is more famous in China. But the number of tourists in Mutianyu is only one-third of that in Badaling, and the forest coverage rate is even higher, reaching over 90%. Especially in autumn, the red leaves stretch to the top of the mountain, forming a unique landscape of “Red Leaves Reflecting the Great Wall”. The enemy buildings in Mutianyu are densely packed, with as many as 23 towers, some of which have very unique structures and are rare among all the Great Wall of China. This place also has first-class cable car,Ā chairlift and toboggan in China, so it isĀ convenient for tourists to climb the Mutianyu Great Wall.

After arriving at the scenic area, if you prefer to hike, the tour guide will take you to climb from near the north or south gate, which takes about 40 minutes to reach the wall. After arriving, walk west to the No.23Ā TowerĀ to enjoy the panoramic view, or take the small path east to the No.1 TowerĀ to admire symbolic attractions such as ZhengguantaiĀ Terrace and Big CornerĀ Tower.

Mutianyu Toboggan

If you have limited physical strength or are carrying very young children (such as under 2Ā years old), you can choose to take the cable car (at your own expense,Ā on-site payment). Do youĀ and your kidsĀ want more fun activities? You can take a toboggan downĀ from the No.6Ā Tower.

Note: For safety reasons, it is not recommended for people over 60 years old and children under 3 years old to ride the toboggan.

During today’s visit, you will be taken to a Jade FactoryĀ to appreciate some exquisite decorations.
