Night Tour of Mutianyu Great Wall

My family and I visited Beijing this summer, and the Great Wall was a must-see! What's so appealing about Mutianyu Great Wall? Let me share my thoughts with you!

[🌍Highlights]
⭐️Less crowded than Badaling Great Wall
⭐️Night tours open in the summer
⭐️Slides and cable cars available
⭐️Gentle slope, suitable for both the elderly and children

[📸Visit Tips]
1) Charter a car to Mutianyu Great Wall
2) Arrive at the Great Wall gate and take the scenic area shuttle bus
3) After getting off the bus, follow the signs and walk about 10 minutes to the North Ticket Gate
4) Take the 360-degree cable car to Watchtower No. 14 (approximately 2 minutes)
5) After getting off the cable car, check in at the [World Cultural Heritage Stone] before starting the climb. Don't take any photos along the way; head straight to Watchtower No. 19 and check in at [Haohan Slope]
6) 19 The slope to Tower 14 is steep, making this section quite challenging. Persevere until you reach Tower 20, the highest point, and check in at the Hero Terrace.
7) Slowly walk back while enjoying the sunset. Return to Tower 14 and take the cable car. Enjoy plenty of photos along the way, with the sunset and soft light as your backdrop.

[🚌Transportation]
Although Mutianyu Great Wall isn't close to the city, it's not difficult to reach. There are several transportation options:
⭐️ Self-drive
⭐️ Chartered car (one-way trip, about 1.5 hours, round-trip, about 450 yuan, seats 5)
⭐️ Mutianyu bus (round-trip ticket, 80 yuan, purchased through the WeChat mini-program)

[Why choose a night tour? Is it dangerous to tour the Great Wall at night? 🌛]
⭐️ We were traveling with elderly people. Compared to the Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu is relatively flat, and the towers are close together, allowing for flexibility based on the family's physical abilities.
⭐️ In the summer, midday temperatures can be high, and walking the Great Wall can be risky. The Great Wall hike is quite physically demanding, so I let my family take a nap at the hotel. We set off around 15:30, and arrived at the ticket gate just as nighttime ticket checks were starting.
⭐️ The temperature is cooler during the nighttime tour, and you can also enjoy stunning sunsets.
⭐️ The Great Wall is illuminated at night, so there's no need to worry about danger.
