About Mutianyu Great Wall Round-trip with Tickets by CITS xZANBUS

Climb one of the most breathtaking sections of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall at Mutianyu, where ancient stone ramparts wind through lush mountain ridges. Enjoy a hassle-free round-trip transfer with tickets and an English-speaking guide included.

Local Legends & Stories

Mutianyu served as a critical military stronghold guarding Beijing and the imperial mausoleums during the Ming Dynasty. Local legend says the wall's sturdy construction was aided by workers who mixed sticky rice mortar into the stone — a secret recipe that held firm for centuries.

Must Do Experiences

  • Walk the densely spaced watchtowers and marvel at the rare triple-connected pass tower built in 1404

  • Ride the scenic chairlift or cable car up to the wall for panoramic mountain views

  • Descend on the thrilling magic carpet or slide for a unique adventure back down

  • Photograph the dramatic double-sided battlements against sweeping valley vistas

Hidden Gems

  • Visit early in the morning before tour groups arrive for a quieter, more atmospheric experience

  • Explore the less-restored eastern stretches near Gubeikou for a raw, authentic feel

  • Stop at the smaller auxiliary watchtowers along the way — they offer the best photo angles without the crowds

What Makes it Special

  • One of the best-preserved and least crowded sections of the Great Wall, offering a more serene experience than Badaling

  • Features a rare triple-connected two-story watchtower from the Ming Dynasty — a design you won't find elsewhere

  • Combines easy accessibility with stunning natural scenery, making it ideal for first-time visitors and photographers alike

Available Facilities

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer the most pleasant weather and stunning foliage. Summer mornings are ideal for avoiding crowds, while winter rewards visitors with snow-dusted ramparts and fewer tourists.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Capture the iconic view from the central watchtower where the wall snakes along the mountain ridge — best light is in the early morning or late afternoon

  • Use a wide-angle lens to encompass the sweeping landscape and the dense row of watchtowers stretching into the distance

  • For dramatic silhouettes, shoot during golden hour when the setting sun bathes the ancient stones in warm light

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

The Great Wall is a source of immense national pride in China, so visitors are encouraged to respect the site by staying on designated paths and not climbing on fragile sections It is customary to touch the ancient bricks for good luck — just be mindful not to chip or damage them Dress modestly and behave respectfully, as the wall holds deep historical and cultural significance for Chinese people

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • Spring wildflower season (April–May) — the surrounding hills burst into color with blooming flowers

  • Autumn foliage festival (September–October) — golden and red leaves frame the wall in spectacular scenery

  • Winter snow viewing — rare snowfall transforms the Great Wall into a magical white landscape

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Hold onto the railings on steep sections, especially if the stones are wet or slippery

  • Keep a close eye on children at all times, as some sections have unprotected edges

  • Stay hydrated and take breaks, as the climb can be strenuous at altitude

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

Round-trip shared bus transfer, standard admission ticket, and English-speaking guide are all included in the tour price. Additional fees may apply for optional rides such as the chairlift, cable car, or magic carpet.

Overview

Mutianyu Great Wall is a renowned section of Beijing's Great Wall and a highlight of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall.


- **Location**: Situated in Mutianyu Village, Huairou District, it connects Gubeikou in the east and Huanghuacheng/Badaling in the west. A strategically important military stronghold, it guarded the capital and imperial mausoleums.


- **Scenic Features**: The main pass tower, built in 1404, features three connected watchtowers (two stories high) — a rare design. Watchtowers are densely spaced (one every 100 meters). It boasts double-sided battlements, inner/outer auxiliary walls, and unique landscapes like "Niujiaojiao (Ox Horn Edge)" and "Yingfei Daoyang (Eagle Soaring Upside Down)" with precipitous terrain.


- **Activities**: Home to the "No.1 Cable Car of the Great Wall" (723m long, safe and efficient) and the Shibide Slideway (1580m long, thrilling). The Great Wall Culture Exhibition Center offers in-depth insights into its history and culture.
