We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00am, or if
you prefer, we can pick you up later in the day at
1:00pm. We will then drive to the Mutianyu section
of the Great Wall. Located 60km/37 miles northeast
of Beijing in Huairou County. As one of the
best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the Mutianyu
section of the Great Wall used to serve as the
northern barrier defending the capital and the
imperial tombs. First built in the mid-6th century
during the Northern Qi, Mutianyu Great Wall is older
than the Badaling section of the Great Wall. In the
Ming dynasty, under the supervision of General Xu Da,
construction of the present wall began on the
foundation of the wall of Northern Qi. In 1404, a
pass was built in the wall. In 1569, the Mutianyu
Great Wall was rebuilt and till today most parts of
it are well preserved.
Compared with other sections of Great Wall, the
Mutianyu Great Wall possesses unique characteristics
in its construction. Watchtowers are densely placed
along this section of the Great Wall - 22
watchtowers on this 2,250-meter-long stretch. Both
the outer and inner parapets are crenellated with
merlots, so that shots could be fired at the enemy
on both sides - a feature very rare on other parts
of the Great Wall. The Mutianyu Pass consists of 3
watchtowers, one big in the center and two smaller
on both sides. Standing on the same terrace, the
three watchtowers are connected to each other inside
and compose a rarely seen structure among all
sections of Great Wall.
While Mutianyu does get its fair share of visitors,
it does not get as packed as Badaling, allowing you
to have a peaceful time exploring the wall. After
walking around on Mutianyu, you have the option of
coming down via walking, taking a cable car, or
taking a toboggan ride (lots of fun and highly
recommended!). After meeting our car in the
parking lot, we will transfer you back directly to
your hotel.
