My Beijing friend recommended me to go to Mutianyu Great Wall where there are a lot of foreigners. I felt like a foreigner there.

To be honest, this section of the Great Wall is not suitable for the elderly and those with weak legs and feet. First of all, the towers are all on the ridge, and you have to climb the mountain before climbing the Great Wall; secondly, the ups and downs are very large, with long sections of ups and downs, and there are extremely steep sections that require both hands and feet. Therefore, if you want to appreciate the beautiful scenery, you must take the cable car first, which can save you the trouble of climbing the mountain. It is said that the cable car is state-owned, and the slide is privately contracted. The slide broke down on the day we went there, and then... You know, a bunch of people lined up and couldn't get down 😱😱😱

Key points: The cable car goes to the No. 14 enemy tower first, and then climbs to No. 20. It is relatively easy before No. 19. It is almost vertical from No. 19 to No. 20. Those with good physical strength can climb it. You can also see the beauty of the Great Wall without going. Then stroll back and take the cable car down the mountain, it's easy 👏👏👏

There is a direct bus from Beijing Distribution Center (Qianmen), which can be purchased on its official website or WeChat account. The first bus is at 7:30 in the morning. They depart in shifts and leave when they are full. There is a tour guide on the bus to explain the route and a shuttle bus is included. It is super convenient👍

Mutianyu Great Wall: Located in Huairou District, Beijing, 73 kilometers away from Beijing city, it is a 5A scenic spot. The Mutianyu Great Wall was built in 1368 AD by Xu Da, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, on the ruins of the Northern Qi Great Wall. It is the essence of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall connects Gubeikou in the east and Juyongguan in the west. It has been a military stronghold for defending the capital since ancient times. It has famous landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, and Yingfeidaoyang. The wall of the Great Wall remains intact, which better reflects the ancient charm of the Great Wall. The scenic area has developed projects such as the Chinese Dream Stone City and the Speed ​​Slide, forming an organic combination of the Great Wall culture, stone culture and sports fitness and entertainment. Former British Prime Minister Major, foreign heads of state and tourists often visit Mutianyu Great Wall.

I booked 4 tickets for this tour, but 2 of my friends couldn't go. I tried to get a refund for 2 tickets, so I went in with my tickets, but in the end I couldn't get a refund because I was told that I couldn't get a partial refund. Since I couldn't get a partial refund, I shouldn't have chosen it. I feel like the ticket purchase system is not set up properly! In addition, the cableway up and down the slide and the cable car up and down are both 120, which are different ways. The former is not suitable for the elderly and children. Choose the way you like.

I recommend taking the Mubus, which has a reasonable itinerary and convenient entry. Especially the tour guide Steven Gao, who explains in detail, is humorous, and can meet the needs of Chinese and foreign tourists in both Chinese and English. Next time I bring friends from home and abroad to climb the Great Wall, I will choose the Mubus and Gao again. Gao, please tell me which day and which bus to take in advance next time.

We went to Mutianyu Great Wall during the Spring Festival this year. We were too lazy to go back to our hometown because of the Spring Festival travel rush, and our parents were around, so we decided to go to the Great Wall together during the Spring Festival. We had been to Badaling before, but there were so many people that we didn’t see the beautiful scenery at all. We saw people everywhere, so we gave up decisively. When we were strolling around China-TravelNote, many people recommended Mutianyu Great Wall. Then we carefully learned about it, made a strategy, and decided to go to Mutianyu. We went there on the third day of the New Year. The weather was still very cold that day, because when we were strolling around China-TravelNote, we saw a great bus going straight to the top of the Great Wall. The bus goes directly to Mutianyu, which is convenient and close to where we live, so we gave it a try. We arrived at the meeting place, Hepingxiqiao Station of Metro Line 5, at 8:25 in the morning. After getting on the bus, other people arrived one after another. There were many cars parked that day, and there were a lot of people. However, the service staff of Zan Bus was very friendly and the process was very smooth. We set off as soon as we filled a car. We got on the highway in less than 5 minutes. There was no traffic jam throughout the journey. In the car, Xiao Zan told us the precautions and routes for visiting Mutianyu, and also provided special advance information. Huigou tickets, thank you very much. We bought tickets on the bus, which was 10 yuan cheaper. 😄, when we arrived at Mutianyu, we got the tickets and took the cable car made by the elderly. It was really cold on the Great Wall. We didn't climb to the top. There were still a lot of people that day. After all, it was a holiday, but it was much less than Badaling. And I met a lot of foreign friends. I heard before that foreign friends would choose to climb the Great Wall in Mutianyu when they come to Beijing. We took a few photos, stayed for a while and returned to the town. We took the official shuttle bus of Mutianyu. Thank you very much here Xiao Zan's reminder, because when we passed the parking lot on the mountain, we saw many people waiting shivering in the cold wind, and we took the shuttle bus back to the town and chose a restaurant to have a meal of steaming hot dumplings. Then there were paid massage chairs in the town, but there were not many, so first come first served. The waiting time was a bit long, because we basically didn't climb the Great Wall, but we rested in the visitor center and didn't feel cold. We waited for the first bus of the Zan bus we booked to leave, and then we went back. Although we didn't play much that day, it was very smooth.

The first time I came to Beijing, I went to Badaling Great Wall. The whole experience was too unfriendly. There were so many people that I could hardly walk. The Ming Tombs were really gloomy. The group meals were extremely unpalatable. There were also shopping stores... So I was very careful about choosing the Great Wall this time. I remembered why there were so few people in the photos of the Great Wall posted by celebrities on Weibo?! I searched for Beijing Great Wall guides and accidentally found Mutianyu! I want to experience the excitement of going up and down the cableway. It is very suitable for young people!

Initially, I wanted to book a one-day tour at Beijing Tourism Distribution Center (official, reliable), ***, but the Mutianyu route was cancelled during the National Day holiday; I booked the Mutianyu bus on China-TravelNote, and the experience was great. I recommend it to everyone. The lady who accompanied me was gentle and cute, and explained the tour details very clearly. Mutianyu bus booking link: http://www.mafengwo.cn/sales/2428033.html The round-trip ticket is 80 yuan. She can also buy the entrance ticket and cable car ticket on the bus.

We chose the cable car. Only two groups of people chose the cable car. The others, with both parents and children, chose the cable car. It is true that the cable car has a longer queue because there are more people. We queued for half an hour when we went up the Great Wall by cable car. When we were about to climb up to the No. 20 beacon tower, there were still group members waiting in line for the cable car. So I strongly recommend that brave young people take the cable car. It is fresh and exciting without queuing. Highly recommended!

Incomparable beauty. It happened to snow heavily the night before, and the whole Mutianyu Great Wall was covered with snow the next day, which was very beautiful. There are three tickets: tickets, shuttle bus, cable car or ropeway, because you start climbing from the top of the mountain, which is different from Badaling. The cable car depends on the situation. If it is summer and autumn, you don't need it, just climb up from the foot of the mountain. Friends, remember, there are four treasures for climbing the mountain in winter: leather gloves, scarves, hats, and hiking shoes. Thermos cups and dry food are essential for survival. It is quite steep to climb up to the No. 20 beacon tower. Go up and hold the wall, and come down and walk back inch by inch. Even if it is not snowing, you must use your hands and feet to overcome your fear. Don't look down or back if you are not afraid of heights. You will be scared to sweat and your legs will be weak in minutes. It will be easy to walk after you pass it. The scenery along the way is beautiful. I will go again in autumn. I will see the snow flying all over the sky and the autumn sky all over the mountain next time.

It is very convenient to take the Mu bus from Dongzhimen to the scenic spot. I specifically picked a day with great weather in autumn. There may be only a few days of such weather in the capital every year. There is a scene every five steps on the Great Wall. The mountains are stacked, the sky is clear, and the Great Wall is winding. The vast and majestic scenery inspires my full sense of pride and patriotism. There are really few foreign scenery that can compare with it. No wonder it is one of the wonders of the world. I walked from platform 1 to platform 20. The scenery on both sides is different. The direction with a small platform number is steep and dangerous. The direction with a large platform number is gentler and the scenery is vast. There are indeed not many tourists, many foreigners, and they have a very comfortable time. If you go to Badaling, it should be crowded. I ran down the mountain and returned to the bus station quickly. I was exhausted, but I was still very happy.

There are several sections of the Great Wall in Beijing. We wanted to have fewer people and a cableway. Mutianyu was the most suitable for us. We bought a one-day tour on China-TravelNote. We chose the cableway to go up and down.

I was so excited when I got here. I could finally see the Great Wall with my own eyes. Most of the people who come to Mutianyu are foreigners. The vendors selling specialties at the foot of the mountain shouted "twenty twenty~". We took the cable car and swung up.

Mutianyu is the essence of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. Here, the mountains overlap, the forests are colorful, and the Great Wall stretches to the distance. There are landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, Yingfeidaoyang, and many crows. There are not many people walking and stopping on the Great Wall.

Chinese tourists and foreign tourists took photos of each other, foreign children played with Chinese children, and an old man sang loudly "I love the country more than the beauty". In short, the scenery was beautiful and the atmosphere was harmonious. The slide down the mountain was also very exciting. A foreign brother shouted "I'm afraid~I'm afraid~"

Although it is much farther than the Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall has no group tourists and relatively fewer tourists than Badaling, so I chose Mutianyu, where I can enjoy the scenery without being unable to enjoy it because of overcrowding. I booked the Great Wall ticket online in advance, including the Great Wall ticket, cable car ticket and shuttle bus. After using it on site, I felt that it was still necessary, because it was really a bit far to walk up. It was a bit hard to walk in and climb the Great Wall completely by myself with an old man and a child. Later, I thought that even if I was alone, I probably wouldn't be able to do it with my physical strength, haha.

The shuttle bus takes about 10 minutes, and then the short shuttle bus in the park goes to the cable car point. The cable car takes about 10 minutes to reach the halfway point of the Great Wall. When you get off, you will reach the entrance to the main scenic area of ​​Mutianyu Great Wall. You have to rely on yourself to continue going up.

It is a good decision to choose Mutianyu. It is impossible to say that there is no one at all, but there are indeed not many tourists, so the tour is very comfortable and it is also very comfortable to take pictures. You don’t have to look for yourself in the crowd. If you wait a little, you can still take pictures when there is no one.

If you want to walk slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way, a 2-hour round trip is not enough, so we brought some simple dry food.

Of course, if you have enough energy and can go up and down quickly, you can also have lunch after getting off the Great Wall. There are many restaurants after getting off the Great Wall, and the prices are still reasonable.

It is recommended to take the cable car or ropeway to the 14th floor before starting to climb to save your energy. The ropeway is open, unlike the cable car which is closed. At that time, I thought the ropeway was the same as the cable car, but when I saw it was open, I was really scared. I closed my eyes the whole way.

There are really few people at Mutianyu Great Wall in winter, and most of them are foreigners.

When climbing the Great Wall in winter, the north wind must be howling. Mijiu and I were both very nervous. We wore a lot of base clothes, warm clothes, cashmere sweaters, and even put on heat pads. When we went out after being fully equipped, we felt like a spring breeze blowing in the cold wind.

We completed the self-scanning ticket purchase in a small house at the Great Wall ticket office. We can buy a package of tickets + shuttle bus + round-trip cable car (of course, you can also book it online in advance)

Because we want to experience the ropeway + slide, we need to buy it separately

Here I would like to remind my friends that the ticket you get by scanning the QR code and purchasing the ticket yourself is a small receipt (very simple), which can be exchanged for a postcard ticket at the manual service counter.

The legs of the ropeway are suspended in the air, which is quite exciting, but I think getting on and off the cable car is more exciting, because the cable car runs at a constant speed and uninterruptedly, it is particularly important to find the right time to get on and off the car. Tall people should be careful not to hit their heads (speaking from experience

There are indeed not many tourists at Mutianyu Great Wall, and most of them are foreigners; the slope is relatively gentle, suitable for both the elderly and children, and you can meet many families traveling with children along the way.

Looking out along the parapet, there are overlapping mountains, dry trees, and messy grass. The scene that should have been desolate has a hint of simplicity and tranquility because of the warm sun.

We also met many cats on the Great Wall. They half-closed their eyes in the sun and remained indifferent to the spotlights that kept coming. Mijiu was amazed: "Is it really the environment that has affected us? The cats on the Great Wall have a completely different temperament from the cats in the Forbidden City. They are like wild children."

Some of the beacon towers along the way have message boards on their interior walls, which are filled with dense writing.

The cable car arrived at the No. 14 beacon tower. The scenery behind was even more wonderful. We were greeted by the Han flag fluttering in the wind (it was really hot under the sun, and I couldn't stop sweating even after taking off my coat~)

There is a relatively steep and long staircase before reaching the top.

The top is a relatively open platform with vendors selling instant noodles, coffee and medals.

You can continue to climb over the wall. It is said that there is a ruin at the end.

But time is limited, so I'll leave some thoughts and regrets here.

If you want to spend more time taking pictures of the Great Wall at sunset, you can take the cable car.

This trip to Mutianyu was worthwhile, with few people and beautiful scenery, and the blue sky added points. During the trip, I also interacted with the tour guide, who told us a lot about Mutianyu, and on the way back, he also told us a lot about Beijing's specialties. Mutianyu Bus pure play without shopping gave me more expectations for Mutianyu, without any worries. It is worth praising that the tour guide of Mutianyu Bus is really amazing, able to liven up the atmosphere, and knows everything about the Great Wall. Excellent tour guides are different. Wish you well😊

We arrived at the second gate at 6:40. The staff of the scenic spot had just arrived at that time. They were supposed to start work at 7 o'clock. Seeing that we had arrived, they sold us tickets in advance. After checking the tickets, they were not working at the cable car. Seeing us, they were still very enthusiastic and opened the cable car for us. I like the service of the staff of Mutianyu Great Wall.

At this time, there were only two of us sitting in the entire cable car from beginning to end, and we instantly felt like VIPs.

When we climbed the Great Wall, there was no one there. We happily started to pose for photos, as if we had the entire Great Wall to ourselves. It was such a great feeling. We walked and took photos for more than an hour before other tourists came up one after another.

Tickets for scenic spots and cable cars can be ordered directly from the tour guide on the Mubus.

The cable car goes directly to Beacon Tower No. 14, while the ropeway reaches Beacon Tower No. 6. In comparison, the cable car is closest to Beacon Tower No. 20, the highest point in Mutianyu.

About toilets: There are several toilets after entering the scenic area. There is also a toilet near the No. 14 enemy building when the cable car arrives. There is no toilet behind the No. 14 enemy building.

As for dining, there are several Chinese and Western restaurants and shopping areas near the entrance of the scenic area.

The last time I came to Beijing, I didn’t climb the Great Wall, which left me with some regrets. This time I specially chose to come to Beijing again in autumn. I had seen too many reports about Badaling being packed with tourists, so this time I chose to go to Mutianyu Great Wall. I booked a Mutianyu bus on China-TravelNote one day in advance. The boarding place was not far from the hotel where I stayed, so I didn’t need to get up too early.

The Mu bus is equipped with a tour guide. Our tour guide, Brother Peng, is humorous and has a good memory. After signing in on the bus, he wrote down the names of all the tourists. Until the afternoon when we returned and got on the bus at the entrance of the scenic area, he could still call out my full name.

I booked a package (ticket + round-trip cable car) with the tour guide on the bus. The cable car went directly to the 14th Beacon Tower, and I started my tour of the Great Wall from the 14th Beacon Tower. I have never been to Badaling, so I cannot compare which is more spectacular, but as many people on the Internet have said, there are not too many tourists at Mutianyu Great Wall, and most of them are foreign tourists.

After arriving at the scenic spot, the tour guide distributed tickets and everyone was free to enter the scenic spot. The cable car journey took 6 minutes, from the cable car departure point near the gate to the 14th beacon tower. It is said that the best scenery is concentrated after the 14th beacon tower. After getting off the cable car, the mountains were full of autumn colors. The Guangdong people who had not seen so many autumn leaves for a long time were very excited. They immediately picked up their cameras and enjoyed the scenery of Mutianyu all the way. Although they had not been to Badaling and could not compare which one was more spectacular, for those who just wanted to find a place with fewer tourists to enjoy the scenery of the Great Wall, they were very glad to choose Mutianyu. It happened that Beijing was windy that day, the air was very good, and the visibility was very high. I walked all the way to Haohanpo, and my fear of heights was triggered. I ended the journey, went back the same way, and returned to the 14th beacon tower to take the cable car down the mountain.

Mutianyu Great Wall guide sharing, hope to help you:

[I: Transportation] The first recommendation is "Mu Bus", the departure point is at the entrance of Swiss Apartment in Hong Kong and Macau Center. The advantage is that the bus does not stop in the middle after departure, and it goes directly to the scenic area in 1.5 hours. The service quality of the accompanying personnel is high. This bus can also drive directly to the mountain parking lot after entering the scenic area, saving the ferry fee and time. The disadvantage is that there is no departure after 8 o'clock in the morning. After 8 o'clock, you can choose "Dongzhimen Bus Station 916 Express" and transfer to H23 at Huairou North Street. There are cars at any time. The disadvantage is that it takes time, especially after arriving in Huairou, the waiting time is long, and you can only take a black car. (Mu Bus Ticket Booking: Search "Mu Bus" on China-TravelNote to place an order at the store.)

[Part 2: Tickets]: Mutianyu Scenic Area involves three tickets, 1: The round-trip shuttle bus to the scenic area is 15 yuan. If you don't take the shuttle bus, you have to walk 3 kilometers up the mountain, which is very tiring. You can avoid it by taking the Mutianyu bus. 2: Great Wall tickets: 45 yuan purchased at the window, half price for children, students and the elderly, free for those under 1.2 meters, and free for the elderly over 65 years old. 3: Cable car tickets. Mutianyu Cable Car is divided into two companies, a box cable car round-trip, and a ropeway & slide. The price is the same, 100 yuan for a one-way trip and 120 yuan for a round-trip trip. Children are half price.

[Three: Climbing the City]: The highest point of Mutianyu Great Wall is at the 20th beacon tower. After passing the ticket gate of the Great Wall, tourists have three ways to go up the mountain. 1st: Take a two-way cable car to the 14th beacon tower. Then walk 6 beacon towers to the highest point, which took more than 1 hour. 2nd: Take the cable car up the mountain, arrive at the 6th beacon tower, walk 14 beacon towers to the highest point, which takes 2 hours and requires greater physical strength. 3rd: Walk up the mountain, about 500 steps to the 6th beacon tower, and then walk 14 beacon towers up the mountain. The physical requirements are the greatest. Basically, it is recommended to choose the first way if you are with the elderly and children, or people with average physical strength. After reaching the highest point, you can continue upwards and enter the ancient Great Wall section, which is the most charming section of the Great Wall.

[IV: Dining]: After coming down from the Great Wall, there are three restaurants on the mountain to choose from. 1st: Yisonglou Restaurant in the scenic area, Chinese food tastes good, about 60 yuan per person. 2nd: Subway Restaurant: Western coffee and hamburgers, 50 yuan per person. 3rd: Youshunju Farmhouse Restaurant: Farmhouse dishes are about 40 yuan per person.

Let me share my "Mutianyu Heroes Tour". I have been to Badaling Great Wall before, and I have always had the following three points: too many people, heavy restoration, and strong commercialism, which are not what I want. This time I plan to experience Mutianyu Great Wall, which is said to be the world's number one Great Wall. Before going, I saw a travel note "Mutianyu Great Wall 2018 Travel Guide" on China-TravelNote. It is a very professional travel note. Seeing the author's pen drawing of the experience of the ancient Great Wall touched my heart and decided to go to Mutianyu Great Wall!

First of all, let's talk about transportation. I booked the scenic area through bus "Mu Bus" (search "Mu Bus" in China-TravelNote. Enter the store to place an order). Although some people suggest taking bus 916 to Huairou and then reversing to H23, I think it is inconvenient. First, it is troublesome to reverse, and second, it takes too much time. As a lazy person, I must focus on climbing the Great Wall. It turns out that Mu Bus is very good! The most prominent impression that Mu Bus gave me is that their on-board tour guides are very good. Brother Wang can switch between Chinese and English at will, and he explains the strategies and details of how to visit the Great Wall in great detail, which we have never experienced before.

It took an hour and a half to reach the scenic spot by taking the Mutianyu bus. Taking the Mutianyu bus can save you money by not taking the shuttle bus. According to the plan given by the tour guide, I chose the "West Line of Mutianyu Great Wall Walk". My route was as follows: Beacon Towers 14-20, then return to Beacon Tower 14 and take the cable car down the mountain.

Let me talk about my experience on the west line. It takes about 3.5-4 hours to walk all the way. It is suitable for people who exercise regularly. If you are not physically fit, it is good to try to walk to the 20th. I personally think that this journey can be divided into three parts:

The first section is from the 14th beacon tower to the 18th beacon tower after getting off the cable car. This is the "sightseeing Great Wall". It is characterized by beautiful scenery, many tourists, and a relatively gentle slope. Most of the tours will be concentrated in this section.

The second section is from Beacon Tower No. 19 to No. 20. This is a section of the "Heroic Great Wall" characterized by a high slope and a very long distance. It should be the longest beacon tower in the entire Great Wall. I was so tired that I had to rest twice in the middle. Finally, I climbed to Beacon Tower No. 20 and became a hero.

The third section is Beacon Tower No. 21 to No. 25. This is a section of the "real Great Wall" characterized by "restoring the old as it was". This is my favorite section of the Great Wall. The ancient Great Wall still retains a sense of vicissitudes of history. There are no tourists around. You can feel your intimate contact with the ancient Great Wall and feel the heaviness of traveling through history.

The whole process took more than 4 hours. I was very satisfied when I went down the mountain. I went to Subway restaurant to have a cup of coffee, eat a hamburger, and gaze at the Great Wall in the distance. Time passed so quickly. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we took the Mu bus back to the city and arrived at the Hong Kong and Macao Center at about 4:30. It ended a happy trip. Generally speaking, Mutianyu Great Wall is very enjoyable to watch. From the perspective of tourism experience, Mutianyu is less crowded and quiet, especially the ancient Great Wall is very charming and worth experiencing!

I bought a round trip ticket for Mutianyu Bus online. It turned out to be a very correct choice. After gathering at the designated location at 7:30 in the morning, I got on the bus and set off directly from downtown Beijing to Mutianyu Great Wall. The journey took an hour and a half. Then the tour guide introduced the history of Mutianyu Great Wall and the precautions for climbing the Great Wall. It can be said that it was very considerate and very informative. Because the Great Wall has not been completely repaired, it is impossible to climb from the foot of the Great Wall to the top of the Great Wall. You can choose to walk, take the ropeway or the cable car. Walking is an option that only mountaineering enthusiasts or people with plenty of physical strength would choose. I basically ignored it. Finally, considering the issue of safety, we chose the cable car to go back and forth. Currently, the open length of Mutianyu Great Wall is 5.4 kilometers, with 20 peaks. We took the cable car directly to Peak 14 and then climbed up, and walked back to Peak 20. The middle is about one kilometer, so the round trip is more than three kilometers. If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man. Climbing the Great Wall, you can better appreciate the hard work and wisdom of the ancient working people. The Great Wall is also a very great project today, but in ancient times there were no such equipment and all the work was carried up bit by bit by manpower. It was really great and hard. Looking at every brick of the Great Wall, we can't imagine how the working people at that time carried it up and repaired it. The travel notes really didn't cheat people. There are relatively fewer people at Mutianyu Great Wall, and there are also many foreign tourists.

I did a lot of research on transportation to Mutianyu Great Wall, and finally I was lazy and chose Mutianyu Bus, with a round-trip ticket price of ¥80.

The Ginkgo Trail is where the Mutianyu shuttle bus is located. There is still a distance from the shuttle bus to the entrance of the Great Wall. It is not recommended to walk unless you have amazing physical strength...

The cable car is closest to the highest point, Beacon Tower No. 20. After arriving at Beacon Tower No. 20, you can continue to explore the ancient Great Wall section of Mutianyu Great Wall.

Climbing the Mutianyu Great Wall is equivalent to climbing a 50-story building. Because I had a clear understanding of my physical strength, I chose to take the cable car up and down and directly to the 14th Beacon Tower.

Because I was traveling with my mother, I chose the most traditional cable car.

The steps of the No. 19-20 beacon towers were too high and required the use of hands and feet, so we just looked at them from a distance and returned the same way. It was less than 1:00 p.m. when we exited the ticket gate.

There are relatively few Chinese people at Mutianyu Great Wall. Except for a group of students, most of the people there are foreigners.

If you book a bus with Mubus, please do not buy your own tickets and cable car tickets in advance. Only by buying from Mubus can you enjoy the free shuttle service. I booked the tickets online in advance without knowing it and got a refund.

Some suggestions for travel: I don't recommend the Mu bus, as their shuttle bus stop is not the stop at the tourist attraction, and you need to walk about 1,000 meters; after getting off the Great Wall, you will get directly on the highway. If you want to apply for a hero certificate, you can only ask the tour guide to mail it to you.

I booked a trip to Mutianyu Great Wall (268 yuan) on China-TravelNote two days in advance, and the driver was picked up at the meeting point within the 3rd ring road. I agreed to wait at the hotel entrance at 7 am, but the driver was at the entrance ten minutes in advance. He was really punctual and dedicated. The whole trip was smooth and harmonious! There was no shopping point at all, great! ! However, if you come one or two days in advance, the mountains in the distance will be very clear, not as gray as I saw.

By White Superman |

There are more foreigners and fewer tourists than Badaling, so it is more recommended

The round trip ticket is 40/person and the round trip bus is 80/person. After getting off the cable car, it is actually okay to walk. It is more difficult for the elderly, so they can walk less.

Mutianyu Great Wall has dense watchtowers and strategic passes, with famous landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, and Yingfeidaoyang. There are battlements on both sides of the city. The wall of the Great Wall remains intact, and most of the sections are relatively flat. The scenic area is full of mountains and extremely rich in plant species. The scenery varies throughout the year, and it enjoys the reputation of "Mutianyu is the only one in the Great Wall" at home and abroad.

Mutianyu Great Wall is 73 kilometers away from the city center and there are special tourist buses that go directly there.

When passing by the village at the foot of the Great Wall, I found that the scenery there was very nice. If you have a car or have plenty of time and want to stay there for one night, you can consider driving there by yourself.

However, we were short on time and had a heavy workload, so we chose the convenient and fast Mu bus.

[Flights] There are two departure times: 8:00 and 10:00. There are many buses in each trip, and you need to book tickets one day in advance. The last bus of Mu Bus is at 18:00, which is just right for taking photos of the sunset, so I chose them. Other buses don’t have such late trips. The return trip is a continuous cycle, and it will leave when it is full. Therefore, you only need to return to Mu Bus House before 18:00 to wait for the last bus. If you come back early, you can also leave early. In short, it is convenient for everyone to arrange their time freely.

[Cost] The bus ticket, entrance ticket, shuttle bus, and cable car ticket cost 240, which was a good deal. It also saved me the trouble of buying my own tickets, which was very worry-free. Later, I booked their buffet lunch through the tour guide on the bus. Although the taste was ordinary, it was very convenient for lazy people because I didn't have to spend time queuing up in the scenic area to find food. On the way back, they also provided hot tea while waiting for the bus at Mu Bus House. Well, thank you.

We hiked the entire length of the Great Wall, which was built by Xu Da, a founding general of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many ways to go to Mutianyu, and there are more than three types of buses. After careful consideration, I chose the Mutianyu bus, which has the most comments on China-TravelNote. Its advantages are similar to those described online. As for the shortcomings, the biggest regret is probably that the return time is too early, at around 3 p.m.



The watchtowers at Mutianyu Great Wall are No. 6, 8, 10, 11, 14 and 20:

Among them, watchtowers 6 and 8 can be used to go up and down the mountain; watchtower No. 10 can be used to go down the mountain; No. 11 is the branch watchtower; No. 14, where the If You Are the One sign is located, is also where the cable car picks up and drops off passengers; Watchtower No. 20 is, without a doubt, the highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall.

The two main features of Mutianyu Great Wall: the super long stairs in front of the No. 20 watchtower and the many foreigners.



Although the tour guide Mubashi recommended the cable car, Pippi insisted on hiking the entire journey. The tour guide had a "you must be a brave man" expression on his face, and then shook his head helplessly. The guy sitting next to him also looked at Pippi in surprise.

However, when he saw us chatting and laughing on the way back, the young man beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Hey, if I hadn't brought them, I would have walked too..." Brother, please keep your voice down, your MM is not far away...

Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou, northeast of Beijing, about 73 kilometers away from Beijing. It is connected to Juyongguan in Changping in the west and Gubeikou in Miyun in the east. The Great Wall was built in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 AD) by Xu Da, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, on the site of the Great Wall of Northern Qi (550-577 AD) during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The "Mutianyu Pass" was built in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1404 AD). It has been a military stronghold for defending the capital since ancient times and is the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. In the third year of Longqing (1569 AD), Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang repaired the Great Wall of the early Ming Dynasty when they were guarding the capital. The Great Wall preserved and restored in Mutianyu is one of the best preserved sections of the Ming Great Wall in the country. The scenic area is full of mountains and the vegetation coverage rate is over 90%. It enjoys the reputation of "Mutianyu is the only one in the Great Wall" at home and abroad. This section of the Great Wall is about 5,400 meters long and is the longest Great Wall in China that has been developed into a scenic spot. It has famous landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, and Yingfeidaoyang. The wall of the Great Wall is basically intact, which well reflects the ancient charm of the Great Wall.

The great man’s saying “He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man” is well known, so you must visit it at least once in your lifetime!

I read a lot of guides, but Badaling is too crowded, and I basically go there to see the crowds, out! Mutianyu is relatively less crowded, and there are many ways to get there. I chose the tourist bus at the tourist distribution center. As a girl, safety is still the first priority. [shy]

I had already followed the WeChat official account and ordered the tickets, which were the train ticket + the Great Wall ticket for 100 yuan, which was not expensive. The next morning, I got off at the Dongmen Tourism Distribution Center on Metro Line 1. The bus left when it was full, so I waited for half an hour. It happened to be next to Dashilan, so I took a walk around.

The journey took about two hours and we arrived at 11 o'clock. The car drove directly to the gate, so we saved the shuttle bus fee. There was a tour guide on the bus and I bought the tickets for the upper and lower Great Wall slides directly from her (it was necessary to buy them, of course you can also take the cable car)

Now it is the Great Wall. Mutianyu currently opens 1-20 watchtowers, the cable car goes to the 6th watchtower, and the cable car goes to the 14th watchtower. So everyone chooses to ride according to their own physical fitness. We took the cable car under the 6th watchtower. The terrain from the 6th to the 16th watchtower is relatively flat, which means that it is actually very tiring. I was exhausted when I climbed to the 15th and couldn't climb anymore. I'll make up for it later!

The scenery along the way is really amazing, beautiful, too beautiful. It's a pity that we went there a little late, so the red leaves had turned yellow and we didn't see the red all over the mountains.

Going down the mountain is a slide, just like a children's slide, a little bit exciting and tense. There are people and loudspeakers on both sides of the slide to remind you to be careful, so it is very safe.

The bus will depart at 3pm, so you can only go up and down the mountain in time if you choose public transportation, unless you drive yourself. This day was very tiring (I felt that my legs and feet no longer belonged to me) but also very happy.

By my name is bear |

Nice scenery, moderate intensity

It is recommended to take a shuttle bus or cable car (otherwise it will waste too much energy). It is better to reserve two hours from the cable car to the top (because you will lose your fighting spirit if you rest too long). If you take a lot of photos, add more time accordingly.

At the end, there is a staircase with an angle of more than 60 degrees, which requires the use of hands and feet. It is recommended to turn around and go down backwards.

It is recommended to climb to the top at 3 or 4 pm so that the sunset photos will be clearer. The exposure at noon is really difficult to adjust.

By Xiaotian|

There are really few people at Mutianyu Great Wall, and the scenery is very beautiful. People didn't know much about Mutianyu Great Wall before because the transportation to Mutianyu Great Wall was inconvenient. Now there is a Mutianyu special line, and it only takes more than an hour to get there. And now is a good season for enjoying autumn, so it is worth a visit. Bring your family and friends to climb the Great Wall together and feel the beauty of autumn!

Mutianyu Great Wall has a long history and splendid culture. It is 73 kilometers away from Beijing. It is one of the famous scenic spots of the Great Wall in Beijing and the essence of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. The construction of Mutianyu Great Wall has a unique style. The main gate tower with three watchtowers standing side by side is rare in the Great Wall. In the northwest, there are the Great Wall landscape nodes commonly known as "Ox Horn Edge", "Arrow Button" and "Eagle Flying Upside Down", which are steep and rugged, undulating and continuous, like a flying dragon.

I came to Beijing on a business trip and was pressed for time. After seeing the introduction of the girl above, I booked the itinerary on Friday night just before my phone ran out of battery.



I have a certain complex about ancient buildings. Every time I come to Beijing, no matter how busy I am, I will pick a scenic spot to feel the vicissitudes of a thousand years. This time it is: Mutianyu Great Wall. Facts have proved that my choice is right (not many people).



I want to say that this trip is worth the money. I can't believe that the tour guide is bilingual. Wang Jun didn't stop for the whole trip, didn't drink a sip of water, and said the same thing twice in Chinese and English (although my English level is rubbish, I can still understand it after studying English for more than 20 years. The pronunciation is very standard, and there is no difference between the Chinese and English content). He smiled and spoke loudly throughout the trip. He also interacted with foreigners and Chinese on the bus, introduced the route of the Great Wall, and helped to buy tickets/cable car tickets. It seems that the recruitment requirements of this company for tour guides are very high.



The itinerary is as follows, and friends who are on short business trips can accept it:

1. I booked an 8 a.m. bus to Munich, and on Friday night I found an accommodation nearby that was 700 meters walk from the boarding point, so I didn't have to catch the subway too early. There was also a McDonald's nearby, so I could buy breakfast in the morning (please praise my cleverness). However, the accommodations nearby that cost less than 300 yuan were really lousy, and the hotels didn't even have air conditioning. I suggest you book an economy chain hotel that costs more than 400 yuan.



2. Time arrangement: gather at Hang Seng Bank, 50 meters to the right of Exit C of Dongsishitiao Station, before 8 o'clock, arrive at the ticket office at about 10 o'clock, start queuing for the cable car at 10:30, start climbing the Great Wall at 11 o'clock, climb to Beacon Tower No. 20 at 12 o'clock, have lunch at this high point to replenish energy 😄, start the return journey at 12:30, arrive at the cable car entrance at 13 o'clock, walk to Beacon Tower No. 13 for a while, get back to the cable car entrance at 13:45, take the cable car to the foot of the mountain at 14 o'clock, get back to the car to rest for ten minutes and then return to the city.



3. Cost: Round trip bus ticket is 80, entrance ticket is 40, round trip cable car is 120, and the shuttle bus is free.

Another advantage of Mubus is that it waives the 15 yuan shuttle bus fee. They have a cooperation with the park and waive this fee, which is not bad.



4. Take the Great Wall route: After the cable car goes up the mountain, you will reach the No. 14 beacon tower. Then go left and walk to the No. 20 beacon tower. Go uphill first, then go downhill to take the cable car. This way you won’t be too tired. If you go to the right, you will go downhill first and then uphill, which will be very tiring.



5. Lunch arrangement: In order to climb the Great Wall with light luggage, you should bring 500 ml of water and bread, but not too much. The road will be very sunny, so you don’t need to prepare too many snacks. It is more practical to leave time for the scenery.



6. Stop on the return trip: We were supposed to stop at Dongsishitiao subway station, but due to the military parade, we changed the stop to Shaoyaoju subway station. The journey was surprisingly smooth and we arrived at 16:00. Then we had some roast duck (secretly, I still have a complex about eating Beijing roast duck)



Extra: I was unlucky. The booking number in the text message sent by Mu Bus was wrong, and I couldn’t find it on site. Director Wang took a picture of the message and asked me to get on the bus. After I got on the bus, he told me that the number had been updated in the background, so I could travel with peace of mind. This service is so thoughtful and made me feel much safer when traveling alone.

It is very convenient to take the Zan bus to Mutianyu Great Wall. I couldn't go on the first day due to special reasons, and then the staff helped to reschedule. It was very convenient and felt good. There were not many people. It was a good experience.

By Zhang Yaoli |

We booked a Mubus to Mutianyu Great Wall on Ctrip for our trip to Beijing. The bus departed as soon as we gathered at the designated location. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan provided very good service. She was very sincere and patient in communication all the way. She explained some precautions very well. There were not many people at Mutianyu Great Wall and the weather was good. The Great Wall was very spectacular and worthy of being called China. We are very grateful to tour guide Li Jiaxuan for her service this time. The children also had a great time playing on the slide and we look forward to coming again next time.

By China-TravelNote user|

It is recommended to take the Mubus, the itinerary is reasonable and the entrance is convenient. Especially the tour guide Li Jiaxuan, the explanation is detailed and can meet the needs of Chinese and foreign tourists. Next time I bring friends from home and abroad to climb the Great Wall, I will choose the Mubus again.

By China-TravelNote user|

If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man. Today, I was honored to climb from the 14th to the 20th beacon tower. The beautiful scenery of the motherland was in full view. I sighed at the greatness of the ancient people. Thanks to the tour guide Li Jiaxuan of Mubus, who introduced the most suitable route for everyone conscientiously and simply. It is a very worthwhile attraction.

By Chen Zheng |

Today, I met Li Jiaxuan, a tour guide of Beijing Mubus, on the train. She recommended that we take the Mubus to Mutianyu Great Wall during our Beijing tour. We thought it was a good choice. So we went to the meeting place as she said: the southeast exit of Dongsishitiao subway station. As expected, we saw many buses of Beijing Auto in the east, and several staff members wearing red vests. We got on the bus smoothly, and it happened to be tour guide Li Jiaxuan. Along the way, she kept explaining: introducing us to the beginning of the Great Wall. She also told us how to visit in an effective time. Since the weather forecast for today was rainy, she never tired of reminding us to pay attention to safety, and happiness is the basis of the tour... To be honest, we were originally going to Badaling, and we were a little worried when we came to Mutianyu... But in fact, it was very good to be here, the scenery was beautiful, there were many foreigners, and it was very good to have such a beautiful scenic spot in the north. Mubus is good, providing convenient transportation for tourists, and the serious and responsible state of the staff is worthy of praise, good!

By Year of the Rat |

We chose to take the afternoon bus of Mutianyu Great Wall to Mutianyu Great Wall, which was very convenient. The bus was clean, the driver was nice, and the driving was smooth. On the way, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan enthusiastically and patiently explained the history of the Great Wall and the attractions of Mutianyu Great Wall, allowing us to choose freely without any shopping. She also bought tickets for us quickly, saving us the trouble of queuing up to buy tickets by ourselves, and also saving us the shuttle bus and round-trip fees. On the way back to the city, she also introduced us to Beijing's special snacks and hutong tour guides, which was very good. I will definitely recommend Mutianyu Bus to my friends when they come to Beijing for fun in the future!

By Mr. Meng |

A friend recommended the bus to me. I was not disappointed after booking it. It goes directly to the scenic spot. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan provided very good service. She explained in detail and reminded us of the precautions. We booked it in the afternoon. The weather was good. It was not sunny and rainy, but the wind was a bit strong. I took my two children to the 20th platform.

By Ling |

It's worth coming. There are not many Chinese people, but many foreigners. It's quite magnificent. You can go up the ropeway, down the slide, go up to the 6th peak and run to the 14th peak (the shooting point for If You Are the One). If you can, climb up again. Next time I come to Beijing, I will definitely go to Mutianyu Great Wall and the Forbidden City again.

Mutianyu Great Wall has beautiful scenery. In addition to the hot weather, it is still worth a visit. The itinerary of Mu Bus is quite tight. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan explains clearly and provides warm service. Get on the bus at 7:30, arrive at the ticket office at around 9:00, and start climbing the mountain at around 10:00. Drive back at 2:30 in the afternoon. The whole journey takes 4 and a half hours, which is quite enough time for an average family. I took the cable car to the No. 14 beacon tower, then climbed to the No. 20 tower, and finally walked back to the No. 6 viewing platform to take the slide down. I originally wanted to climb viewing platforms 1-4, but I didn't have enough time, which was a bit regrettable. If you want to climb the whole journey, you can book a return ticket at around 5:00, so that you can walk through all 20 viewing platforms and have a good time!

By Isshiki Fuwa |

I took the Mutianyu Great Wall bus to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall. The bus was in good condition, on time, fast and comfortable. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan was patient and attentive. I was very satisfied with the trip today. Although the weather was hot, I felt the greatness of the Great Wall and the long history of Chinese civilization. Thanks to Mutianyu Great Wall bus again, and I recommend other travelers to choose Mutianyu Great Wall bus.

By 👪Little White Dragon Fire Baby’s Mom👪 |

Thank you very much for the clean bus. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan provided thoughtful service and clear explanation. Thank you for helping me book tickets. I was very satisfied with the whole trip and felt very comfortable! Mutianyu Great Wall has beautiful scenery and not so many people. If it wasn't too hot, I would definitely be able to walk the whole way! I hope I can have the opportunity to climb to the top next time!

By Zhou Jian|

It was the first time I brought my children to see the Great Wall. The bus was very convenient and fast. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan was also very professional and kind. It is worth recommending, especially in such a hot summer. It was very considerate.

By Laoniu|

The scenery of Mutianyu Great Wall is OK. I came to travel from Sichuan during the summer vacation and wanted to go to the Great Wall. I have been struggling with which section to go to, Badaling Mutianyu. Because there were too many people in Badaling, I finally saw the Mutianyu bus through bus on the Internet. It was very convenient and not expensive, so I decisively placed an order. It was also very convenient to take the subway from Wangfujing in the morning. The departure point is the exit C of Dongsishitiao Subway. The staff member Lao Peng led us on the bus. The tour guide Lao Niu of Mutianyu was OK. He introduced the scenic spot to everyone in the car and helped us buy tickets in the car. We bought a round-trip cable car. The price was the same as the scenic spot, and there was no hidden consumption. Buying tickets through the Mutianyu bus tour guide can also waive the shuttle bus fee, which is more appropriate. The cable car is very comfortable to reach the 14th floor, and it is sufficient during our tour. Finally, before returning to the departure point, I drank a bottle of beer in the farmhouse next to it. It was very refreshing. Mutianyu Great Wall is also very beautiful when Mutianyu bus finally returns to the city. Mutianyu bus is very convenient, Mutianyu Great Wall is very beautiful, and the staff are serious and enthusiastic. Recommended

By Alian |

The Mutianyu bus was booked online. It was very convenient and clean inside. The tour guide, Li Jiaxuan, was very enthusiastic. There were not many tourists in Mutianyu, so it was suitable for family travel. I recommend Mutianyu bus to friends!

By Xin Feiyang|

This time I chose Mutianyu Great Wall Bus. Tour guide Li Jiaxuan was an excellent choice. The bus was clean, the driver drove smoothly, and the tour guide was attentive and considerate. It was a really pleasant trip! Mutianyu Great Wall Tour is the first choice for Mutianyu Great Wall Tour!

By Tao (Linda & Tonny Mama) |

Tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very enthusiastic and explained in detail. She treated us very kindly, like a family member, answered all our questions, and introduced us to the attractions, delicious restaurants and famous dishes. This trip to Mutianyu Great Wall was so comfortable. She was enthusiastic and thoughtful. Thank you, Sister Li. I hope I can take your car next time. Thumbs up! Must give a five-star rating! Thumbs up!

By Ciel🍬 |

The bus I booked from Mutianyu Bus was very convenient and went directly to the scenic spot. The driver drove very safely, and the tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very considerate and gave a detailed introduction to the purchase of facilities in the scenic area: the cable car basket and the slide, which are the same price as the scenic area. You can buy it with confidence. We bought the cable car up and down the slide, which is more expensive because it is from two different companies. It goes from the No. 14 beacon tower to the No. 20 and then to the No. 6, and the whole journey takes 2 and a half hours (if you have good physical strength). There are relatively fewer tourists in Mutianyu Great Wall, and the experience of playing is better!

By Jingjing Yiren|

The tour leader Li Jiaxuan was great, the service was warm and thoughtful, and the explanation was detailed and vivid. Mutianyu Great Wall was indeed less crowded, more convenient for taking photos, and met many foreigners. The fish at Youshunju was delicious, and it was a pleasant trip. Mutianyu Bus was reasonably arranged and the first choice for free travel.

By China-TravelNote user|

I learned about this project on the official website of Mubus. I think it is very convenient and suitable for me who is traveling alone with my children! The bus is very clean, the driver drives steadily, and the tour guide Li Jiaxuan explains very carefully! We started our free activities smoothly when we arrived at the scenic spot. Although the weather is quite hot, it is still bearable. There are not many tourists. My son climbed the Great Wall for the first time and was very excited. He refused to stop and rest! I recommend Mubus again!

By TingtingyuliWU |

Our group of five took the Mutianyu Mu bus to the Mutianyu Great Wall. There are not many people here, the scenery is beautiful, and there are exciting slides. The Beijing B23700 bus we took was very clean and comfortable. The driver and tour guide had a very good service attitude, especially the tour guide Li Jiaxuan, who was enthusiastic and explained in place. It was a very satisfying trip 👍👍

By China-TravelNote user|

慕田峪長城,慕巴士,服務好,乘坐23700體驗非常好!這是朋友推薦來的,這次的導遊是李佳璇,解釋到位,節省時間,把所有的活動體驗完了。真的太棒了!會推薦給更多要來的朋友們。

The most anticipated attraction in Beijing is the Great Wall. I spent a long time choosing Mubus on China-TravelNote, and I was not disappointed! We gathered at the subway exit in the morning, and there were staff to guide us as soon as we got out of the subway, which was really convenient. The tour guide on our bus was Lao Peng, who gave us detailed explanations along the way. He was humorous and interesting, and we could ask any questions along the way. We could help buy tickets for the scenic area and cable car tickets, which was super worry-free. We had 5 hours of playing time on the Great Wall, which was definitely enough. Thank you Mubus, thank you Peng, for making our family have a lot of fun. If you have friends coming to Beijing, I will definitely recommend it! It was really a perfect trip.

By Purple Transformation |

Oh, we experienced all kinds of weather conditions today, cloudy, sunny, rainy, thunderstorm, rainstorm. Fortunately, we had the service of Mubus tour guide Chang Jie. Our family was trapped on the mountain due to thunderstorm (the tour bus was suspended) and did not arrive at the agreed return time. Tour guide Chang called to comfort me and said don't worry, be sure to pay attention to safety, and personally waited for us at the shuttle bus to pick us up, only to find that all the passengers were waiting for us. I feel very sorry, tour guide Chang Jie explained to us, and all the passengers were very tolerant. Thumbs up for Mubus's service and Thumbs up for tour guide Chang Jie.

We chose to take the Mutianyu Great Wall bus to visit. The Mutianyu Great Wall bus arrived at the end of the trip in one and a half hours. It was fast and convenient. On the way, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very nice and enthusiastic. She patiently explained the history of the Great Wall and the attractions of the Mutianyu Great Wall to us. She also introduced the walking route clearly and explained the safety issues in detail. The route also allowed us to choose freely without any shopping. She also bought tickets for us quickly, saving us the trouble of queuing up to buy tickets by ourselves, and also exempted us from the shuttle bus and round-trip fees. It happened to be a few days of high temperature, but today was a good day, and we had a lot of fun! The scenery is pleasant, and the magnificence of the Great Wall is fully displayed in the beauty. It is worth recommending! On the way back to the city, she also introduced us to Beijing's special snacks and Hutong tour guides, which was very good. It's great! Mutianyu Great Wall Bus is worth recommending!

By Jianpo Qinxin|

We chose to take the Mutianyu Great Wall bus. The bus stops every one and a half hours, which is very convenient. The driver is Ms. Su, license plate number 14480. The driving is very stable and comfortable. On the way, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very meticulous and patiently explained the history of the Great Wall and the attractions of Mutianyu Great Wall to us, so that we could choose the most suitable way to visit. She also bought tickets for us quickly, saving us the trouble of queuing up to buy tickets by ourselves, and also saving the shuttle bus and round-trip fees. On the way back to the city, this tour was very pleasant, and the Mutianyu Great Wall bus is worth recommending!

The first surprise of today's ride: I met a skilled and considerate female driver, Master Su. She took care of many details for us before and after getting on the bus. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan was also very considerate and enthusiastic. She was busy explaining things to us in detail and was very skilled in her business. Today is the last day of the Beijing tour. The Mutianyu Great Wall tour led by Mubus ended perfectly. This route is indeed less crowded, and we encountered good weather. It was a very pleasant journey. I will choose it again! And I will recommend it to my friends! ! ! [Victory][Victory][Victory]

Before I came to the Great Wall, my friend specifically introduced the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, saying that the scenery is beautiful, not too difficult, and not too crowded, and it is worth a visit. He also taught me to take the Mutianyu bus. After booking the ticket online, I went to the boarding point early in the morning and there were several staff members in red waiting. The boarding was very orderly. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan explained in detail on the bus, and many details were explained clearly, and the service was in place. If you go to Mutianyu Great Wall, the Mutianyu bus would be a good choice.

Although it is much farther than the Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall has beautiful scenery and relatively few visitors, so you can enjoy the scenery without being unable to enjoy it because of overcrowding. I booked the Great Wall ticket online in advance, which includes the Great Wall ticket, cable car ticket and shuttle bus. After using it on site, I felt that it was still necessary because it was still a bit far to walk up. I guess I don't have the physical strength, haha.

I took my family, both young and old, to visit the Great Wall. I recommend taking the Mutianyu Great Wall bus, which is convenient and fast. The tour guide, Li Jiaxuan, was very nice and enthusiastic. She patiently explained the history of the Great Wall and the highlights of Mutianyu Great Wall to us. She also quickly bought tickets for us, saving us the trouble of queuing up to buy tickets ourselves, and also saving us the shuttle bus and round-trip fees. The Mutianyu Great Wall bus is worth recommending!

Mutianyu is still very good, with fewer people than Badaling, and the scenery is beautiful. I chose the round-trip transportation of Mutianyu Bus, which is very convenient. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan is also very responsible and explained in place. It is very good

If you come to Beijing, you are not a true man if you don’t visit the Great Wall. It happened to be the peak period of summer vacation, so I gave up going to Badaling and went to Mutianyu, which would be relatively less crowded, as recommended by local friends.

We arrived at the boarding point for the through bus of "Mu Bus". Through buses can be booked online or purchased on site (but this must be based on the premise that there are vacancies today). This time the driver drove very steadily and the ride was quite comfortable.

There was a tour guide on the bus. This time, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very enthusiastic. She explained the history and culture of the Great Wall along the way, and then introduced us to the travel guide of Mutianyu. Tour guide Li Jiaxuan said that two of the cable cars were taken by celebrities, and we were very lucky. We took one up the mountain and another down the mountain. 😍

After climbing up Mutianyu, I found that I had come to the right place. There were relatively few people, and I could take beautiful photos. The scenery was also good. If you want to bring children to the Great Wall, you don’t have to go to Badaling, you can come to Mutianyu instead.

During the summer vacation of 2018, we originally planned to take the children to Badaling, but the advantage of a self-guided tour is that we can change the plan at any time. There were so many people at the Forbidden City on the first day that the children had no interest at all, so we temporarily changed the plan of Badaling to Mutianyu that night. The children’s interest and enthusiasm exceeded our expectations. After the cable car went up to the No. 14 enemy tower, we walked all the way to the highest No. 21 enemy tower. On the return trip, we continued to walk down a few more enemy towers and then walked back to the cable car take-off and landing point to go down the mountain. The scenery was picturesque and there were not many people. We played from 8 o'clock in the morning until we went down the mountain at 5 o'clock in the evening, and we were still reluctant to leave. We will come again if we have the chance.

It was my first time at Mutianyu Great Wall. It felt great! We took the early bus, and the Mutianyu Great Wall bus was convenient and direct. The tickets and cable car tickets were all included. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. The explanation was in place and the relaxing itinerary was suitable for us. I hope my friends can also come to Mutianyu Great Wall. The Mutianyu Great Wall bus was clean and hygienic. The driver, Master Su, had great driving skills and thoughtful service. The scenery of Mutianyu Great Wall was beautiful and spectacular. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan explained in detail, was very patient, and answered all questions. Very friendly, this is the common feeling of our family.

Mutianyu Bus, near the Dongsishitiao subway exit, departs between 7 and 8 o'clock when full, and arrives at the foot of Mutianyu Great Wall in about an hour. The driver drives steadily, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan explains enthusiastically and kindly, the environment inside the bus is quiet and clean, and the atmosphere is great. It is an excellent way to visit Mutianyu Great Wall.

I came to Mutianyu Great Wall after hearing the recommendation from a friend. Although the weather was very hot today, the children were very enthusiastic and walked the whole way excitedly. It is worth encouraging! I am very glad that I chose this place. There are not many people, so I can take pictures and rest as I please. There is no crowding scene, which is very comfortable! The tour guide was very enthusiastic and patient throughout the whole process, thumbs up!

Today I went to Mutianyu Great Wall. The weather was a bit cloudy, which was just right for a cooler trip. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan explained enthusiastically along the way, introduced the characteristics of Mutianyu Great Wall, and suggested walking routes, which made the trip more convenient. Thumbs up for Mutianyu Bus and Mutianyu Great Wall!

I recommend the Mutianyu Great Wall bus 🚌 for direct access, no other consumption in between, you can buy tickets and cable car tickets on the bus to save the queue. One and a half hours one way, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan explained the history and culture of the ancient Great Wall very well, and the precautions for the scenic spots were very detailed, thumbs up 👍. The Mutianyu Great Wall is surrounded by mountains. Take the cable car to the 14th fire tower and then go up to the 20th fire tower. The slope of the 20th fire tower is 70 degrees, which is very steep. It is worth a challenge. My son performed very well today. I met a little sister on the way who took good care of him 👍 There are many foreign friends, not many people, and a pleasant journey!

It is recommended to take the Mutianyu bus, the itinerary is reasonable and the entrance is convenient. Especially the tour guide Li Jiaxuan, the explanation is detailed and humorous. Mutianyu is magnificent, the terrain is steep, and the population is sparse. It is definitely worth a visit!

Although it is the peak season, there are not many tourists in Mutianyu Great Wall. The weather is good, there is no strong sun, and there is occasional drizzle, which adds a bit of fun. It is very comfortable to travel all the way! I recommend Mutianyu Bus for round trip. The itinerary is reasonable and the fee is not expensive. The tour guide Li Jiaxuan is serious and responsible. The passengers on the same bus are all high-quality and take care of each other. A pleasant trip to the Great Wall!

Beijingers recommend that you must choose "Mutianyu" when visiting the Great Wall. Because it is not as famous as Badaling, there are not many people, and it has a cableway/slide, which is relatively new.

I went on China-TravelNote and chose "Mu Bus". It is very easy to find after coming out of Line 2. There are staff at the intersection to guide you, and the bus will depart as soon as there are people, saving you waiting time. The service is considerate.

After driving, the tour guide "Li Jiaxuan" carefully explained to us the strategies and precautions for visiting the Great Wall. Thumbs up for you!

Finally, the bus was very clean, spacious and comfortable to sit in. The driver drove very steadily and the one-way trip took about 80 minutes.

Thumbs up for the service of "Mubus", you can buy it with confidence🌟

After much consideration, I decided to go to Mutianyu Great Wall with my parents and children. I wanted to hire a car, but I finally decided to take Mutianyu Bus because there was a tour guide on the bus and they also bought tickets for me, which was more convenient. This time, the tour guide Li Jiaxuan was enthusiastic and responsible, and I was very happy to choose Mutianyu Bus.
