Itinerary

Mutianyu Great Wall

2 h 30 min Admission included

The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is one of the most scenic and historically rich. Ride the cable car up to the top, where you’ll be treated to jaw-dropping views, then explore an impressive cluster of ancient watchtowers. When it’s time to head down, take the toboggan for a fun, unique ride (or opt to take the cable car back down).
