Highlights
- Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area Ticket Office - Our tour guide will meet you at your hotel lobby at around 7:30. It takes about 2.5 hours to get to the foot of Jiankou Great Wall. We’ll start off the hike at about 10:00 by following a zigzag hillside trail that rises quickly to a Zhengbeilou Tower that is almost 1,000 meters above sea level. It takes about 1 hour to reach Zhengbeilou Watch Tower, which is a good spot to enjoy the scenery of the Great Wall. Then we will walk towards Mutianyu Great Wall along the rugged walls. Jiankou and Mutianyu are different sections of the Great Wall. Jiankou section is wild and unrestored with its original appearance while Mutianyu section is restored and easy to hike.
Upon arriving at Mutianyu section, we will walk from No.23 Watch Tower to No.10 Watch Tower, which is the most beautiful and authentic part of Mutianyu section. Then get down the Great Wall on foot or take a toboggan/cable car (optional). The walking path downhill is below the watch tower No.10. It takes about 5 hours in total to finish the hiking.
It’s a long walk from the foot of Jiankou Great Wall to Mutianyu Great Wall, approximately 10 kilometers. You’d better wear comfortable shoes and clothes and bring some snacks.

A very unique Great Wall experience - This 5 hour hike was a really cool way to explore various parts of the wall including unrestored sections which were both challenging and rewarding to traverse. Got to see lots of great views usually not seen by the standard tourist. Was physically demanding with some really steep ascents and descents so keep that in mind when deciding if this hike is right for you. My guide Shane was also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for those that think they can handle it!

Not your typpical walk in the park, but definitely worth it! - Lindsey was a great guide and very patient, allowing me to rest as needed. It was nice being in an area that wasn't overloaded with tourists and gave you a real feeling of the history of the area. Lunch was delicious followed by a relaxing drive back to our hotel. Lindsey even picked flowers as we hiked and gave me the bouquet in honor of Chinese Valentines Day which was the day after our hike. We had a great time. For us, that was the best way to see the Great Wall.

Great Wall Hike - We had an amazing experience hiking the wall with a very knowledgeable guide who spoke English very well. Would highly recommend this tour company and this hike! The tour guide took amazing photos of us, and shared many interesting facts about China and the Great wall. It was a dream come true to hike the wall and this specific hike is the ultimate way to experience both the old and new parts of the Great Wall!

Great, challenging hike - Thanks to the early start in Beijing we arrived at the small village and started our 1 hour hike to the wall (first tower). There were no other people at all. Enjoying spectacular views we continued around 2 hours on the wall when we saw the first other hikers. This special tour allows you deep impressions of the real un-restored part of the Great Wall.
Our tour guide David Jiang explained in perfect English all historical data and also made marvelous photos which we received at the same day!!
I visited the Great Wall the 3rd time, but this special tour with David was by far the best!
