The Great Wall at Mutianyu is a little further from Beijing than the most popular section at Badaling, but it doesn’t get as crowded. This section of the Wall is fully restored, there are hand rails to help you up on the very steep parts and the views are spectacular.

It is the largest clusters of imperial cemeteries in China.Since 1409 with the construction of Changling Tomb for Emperor Zhu Di, the Ming Tombs was completed in 1644 when the Emperor Chongzhen was buried in Siling Tomb. There are three parts are opened to public, the Sacred Way, Changling Tomb and Dingling Tomb. The Sacred Way is the first attraction of Ming Tombs,which is a main way leading to the thirteen imperial tombs inside the scenic area. The two lines of stone lifelike sculptures (12 beasts and 6 officials) on both sides are the highlight of the Sacred Way which are quite popular with visitors.
Among the Ming Tombs,Changling is the largest, earliest and most magnificent with best preserved found constructions. Dingling is the only one that the underground palace was excavated. You will visit one of them based on your interests.

The Great wall - Visiting the Great Wall was a truly unforgettable experience, made even more special by our amazing driver and guide. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment.
She took her time to explain everything clearly, brought us water, and even offered to take photos of us — she knew all the best angles and tricks to get great shots! It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that made the day even better.
What stood out the most was her kindness and genuine care. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and made us feel like more than just tourists. It truly felt like we were being shown around by a friend who wanted us to have the best experience possible.

Great way to spend the day in comfort!! - Such a great experience! Very Safe driver and we loved Sally our guide who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The private car was very clean and extremely comfortable. Starting the tour as early as possible and leaving Beijing early helped us to avoid the traffic and long lines that we saw as we were finishing the locations. 5 stars for sure!!

Amazing trip - Visiting the Great Wall at Mutianyu was incredible! The drive from Beijing was smooth, and our guide Ling shared interesting history along the way. The cable car made the climb easy, and walking the Wall with its stunning mountain views was unforgettable. It’s well restored and less crowded than other sections, perfect for photos and exploration.
