Great Wall of China at Mutianyu
Great Wall at Mutianyu is a little further away from Beijing than Badaling section, and is therefore less cluttered We went early afternoon and had basically the whole wall to ourselves the road to Beijing took about two hours and a half since it was a Sunday and were stuck in traffic, but usually you can do it in less than two hours.
There is a chairlift that takes you all the way to the wall, they function as those in the ski resorts This section of the wall is completely renovated and there are handrails in steep parts From the president lift station you can choose to walk either left or right half of us went to the right, the other half left both sides are roughly equal in terms of difficulty of climbing.
Climb the watchtowers that are spread throughout for a better view and check the guns.
We walked for a few hours, then return to the same starting point and took on the slide.
The trip down the slide Mutianyu was a great bonus for the kids, they really appreciate the wind you around the mountain and can control your speed with the hand brake.
Small children must ride with an adult grandmother and grandfather decided they had enough action and took the chairlift down.
You can watch our video Mutianyu Great Wall, including the ride down slide here.
There is also a closed cable, much like the gondolas in ski resorts, which takes you to the other side of the Mutianyu section Your options here are.
1 take the cable car up, walk around and take down or.
2 take the cable car up, mounted at the other end of the section where the chairlift and toboggan stations are about 2 km then take the slide.
Read the story of Lily here, they rode the cable car was a pic nic in the middle, then slipped the dogs and the very bottom of the slide.
If you do this, make sure that you buy only the operations are for the cable way, separate and you can not use tickets for one another.
We found this was the perfect part of the wall for us because of our group that included children and my parents aged 74 years If you have elderly people in your group, or disabled, I would recommend the Great Wall section Mutianyu on other Wall has been rebuilt and is easier to install than the roughest sections of Simatai and Jinshanling more he didnt get crowds of Badaling.
