Mutianyu Great Wall from Beijing city or airport

Visit one of the most beautiful sections of the famous Great Wall and avoid the crowds on this day tour. The Mutianyu Great Wall was constructed under the famous General Xu Da and is one of the best-preserved parts of the wall. Enjoy a scenic hike and several stunning views here.

The tour includes pick-up from your hotel in Beijing city centre (inside the 3rd ring road) or Beijing Capital International Airport, you decide. Pick-up will be at 8:00 am at your hotel lobby or airport arrivals hall with a board with your name. A Chinese-speaking driver will drive to Mutianyu Great Wall which is located in Huairou County, 75 km north-east from the centre of Beijing. If you wish to have an English-speaking tour guide to go with you to the Wall, choose this option upon checkout.

Expected arrival at Mutianyu is around 9:30 am. The round-trip hike is 6 km and takes an estimated time of 2 hours. You can hike up the side of the mountain to the wall or take a cable car (at your own expense). Then, you can walk over the wall passing several watch towers for different views. On the way down, you can either walk or take the cable car or toboggan (at your own expense).

The Wall is beautifully surrounded by dense woods and rich pastures that change colours with the seasons. The hike should be finished around 11:30 am and then you will be driven back to your hotel in Beijing city centre or Beijing Capital International Airport at around 2:00 pm.
