Mutianyu Great Wall: Private Car Day Tour

The Great Wall of China 👉🏻 Mutianyu's Unique Charm 🚶 Visiting Beijing? You definitely have to climb the Great Wall! 📖 After doing some research, I decided to book a private car to visit the less crowded and scenic Mutianyu section. 🌈 While Mutianyu may not be as grand as Badaling, it is renowned for its picturesque views. The watchtowers and steps are well-maintained, with a gentler slope that makes it easier to walk. Its serene and rustic atmosphere resembles a beautiful painting, making it an ideal destination for families with kids or elderly travelers. ✨ Travel Guide Highlights: ✅ Private Car: Pick-up and drop-off service within the Fifth Ring Road. You can choose your departure time, enjoy a direct highway ride to the scenic area, and leave your luggage in the car for worry-free exploration. On the return trip, you can stop by 1-2 nearby attractions in the city (such as the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, Prince Gong Mansion, or the Bird's Nest and Water Cube). ✅ Shuttle Bus: Walk 200 meters to take a 5-minute shuttle bus ride, then walk another 200 meters to reach the cable car station. ✅ Cable Car: Opt for a round-trip cable car ride to reach the 14th watchtower. From there, climb westward to the 20th watchtower and return. (The 20th watchtower is the highest point of Mutianyu Great Wall, offering breathtaking views.) Tips: ✅ The steps between the 14th and 18th watchtowers are relatively gentle, while those between the 18th and 20th watchtowers are steeper. Plan your climb according to your physical condition. ✅ Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and be prepared for sun protection. ✅ Bring an umbrella for both sun and rain protection 💯
