Discover the stunning Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China on a day trip from Beijing. Enjoy breathtaking views, rich history, and an unforgettable experience at one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Day Trip Details
We'll meet at the exit of a central train station in Beijing, and from there we'll take a bus to the Great Wall of China, specifically the Mutianyu section. You're sure to be amazed!
Along the way, we’ll share interesting insights about this legendary structure, which dates back to the 5th century. The journey takes about an hour and a half, offering a comfortable ride to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Upon arrival, we’ll skip the long lines and head straight in, giving you 5 hours of free time to do a self-guided exploration of Mutianyu—one of the most stunning and less crowded sections of the wall, known for its dramatic mountain scenery.
You can challenge yourself with a 6-km (3.7 mi) hike to one of the highest towers, or, if you prefer, purchase a ticket on-site for the cable car and take in the views as you ride up. Whether you go on foot or by cable car, the experience will be unforgettable.
After your time at the wall, we’ll return to the bus for the journey back to Beijing, dropping you off at Dongzhimen Subway Station. The full excursion lasts between 8 and 8.5 hours.
