Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou District of Beijing and is 73 kilometers from Beijing downtown. It was originally built in Northern Qi Dynasty (550 - 557) and reconstructed in Ming Dynasty to strength its construction.

Mutianyu Great Wall is outstandingly featured with dense distribution of watchtowers, with 22 watchtowers at 100 meter intervals. Also these watchtowers have different forms and structures. Mutianyu Great Wall fully displays the essence of the Great Wall of China. Built in soaring mountain ridges, Mutianyu has magnificent construction and compact layout. Its breathtaking views with the surrounded mountains and elegant green forests and vegetation are also attractive features to tourists.


You can take the cable car ride to Great Wall at your own expense. Once you’re back to your coach you will be taken to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Later you will be transferred back to downtown and dropped-off at the subway station. Your tour concludes at 4:30PM. 

Question and answer:

Why does the tour end in a subway station? 
There is no alternative way to avoid the rush hour in the afternoon.  If you happen to be the last drop off passenger, it does not make sense for spending two more hours on the road.  Tell your tour guide which is the next attraction or restaurant you want to go, ask which subway station that you should get off, which exit and how many stops en route.
