Go to Mutianyu Great Wall

It’s time again to listen to the sound of autumn and appreciate the autumn scenery every year. This place where the palette was overturned by God must go and have a look, bingo! It is the Mutianyu Great Wall.

It may be #MUTIANYU大城# that combines cultural heritage, the Great Wall, the most beautiful autumn scenery, and the one who is not a hero if he doesn’t reach the Great Wall! It may also be that I have a soft spot for it~ Mutianyu Great Wall really matches all identities and relationships. With lovers, friends, parents, and children, you can freely enjoy the gifts of nature and history at the Mutianyu Great Wall.

Booked a through train one day in advance, just go directly to the boarding point today. Arrived early and saw a kfc nearby, so I went in and had breakfast to recharge for today. (*^▽^*)

It takes about an hour to stop at the Great Wall, and we are at the foot of the Great Wall. Went to the bathroom here. We took the original bus and continued up the mountain. (The feeling of not needing to queue up to take the scenic spot shuttle bus adds ten points to today's satisfaction!)

to the parking lot on the hill. We are about to start our trip to the Great Wall.

5. Where is the best scenery to take pictures? Blockbusters are born here!

The purpose of playing on the Great Wall: the higher the level, the fewer people, which is also the same with our social laws. The higher the field, the fewer people. so! Be sure to go up high.

On the 15th, you can take a panoramic view of the mountain, see "loyal to Chairman Mao" and see the peak that you are about to conquer!

Beacon Tower 17 is suitable for taking pictures from the window, and it is also beautiful to take pictures standing outside. This part of the Great Wall has curves.

Beacon Tower No. 20 is of course overlooking the Great Wall! The road you have traveled is now under your feet!

I will talk about it in detail later, and then follow me to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall in autumn! O(∩_∩)O haha~

Walking the Great Wall Tour

Walking 200 meters from the parking lot to the ticket gate on the mountain, there is a Chinese dream, Stone City. Curious, what is Dream Stone City? So I came back to Baidu: it gathers more than 20,000 strange stones from all over the country, and it is the activity base of "Chinese strange stone collectors".

Dangdang, this is the ticket gate. Look at the autumn leaves above, it is already very beautiful. I shouted in my heart: Great Wall, here I come!

This time I mainly came to climb the Great Wall, and I didn't want to waste my energy climbing the mountain. So we took the cable car up. This time, I was very lucky to meet the cable car that the 17th Living Buddha of Tibet used to ride, as well as foreign leaders. This is just a chance!

Ah, looking at the scene in front of me, it is natural to feel very autumn! The heart will be melted by this autumn.

In a few minutes, we arrived at Beacon Tower No. 14, and the official tour of the Great Wall is about to begin!

See the little opening that the guy went through? That's right! We're all going to get in here. Going west is the highest beacon tower on the 20th. Going east is the beacon tower with small numbers.

This time, of course, it is going to the top! See the words on the mountain in the distance, that is "loyal to Chairman Mao".

This place with multiple languages ​​is the graffiti wall. Everyone has visited here, and this is the only place where graffiti is officially allowed on the Great Wall. But everyone should try to swim as much as possible, don't leave any traces.

In autumn, the Great Wall is a little more soft, covered with autumn colors, and welcomes tourists who come here more gently.

Walking all the way, there are so few people that there is really nothing to say. Just love this Great Wall, pamper him!

What remains of the Great Wall is history and brilliance. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall that people see today was built at this time.

Slowly climb up, the body is getting hotter and hotter. So be careful when you wear clothes.

Met all kinds of people along the way. There are couples, couples, adults and children, adults and the elderly, groups of the elderly, and so on. Everyone walked leisurely, did they look at each other, their faces were full of satisfaction and comfort.

The interior of the beacon tower is such a small hole, the structure is simple, but the layout is very complicated. In it, I can recall the battle scenes I have seen before, and cherish the hard-won life now.

You can't get close to the distant history, but walking on the Great Wall and looking into the distance can also add a bit of your own thinking to this historical memory.

Let’s post some beautiful pictures~ You still have to come to the Great Wall by yourself. The autumn of the Mutianyu Great Wall that you experienced personally will be a memory you will never forget!

Come with the one you love, the Mutianyu Great Wall is really worth it!

Look at the sun and smile knowingly, the weather is so nice today!

Take the cable car down to see the view of the Great Wall below.

satisfy! Autumn is so good!

After a one-day trip to the Great Wall, only eating a hot pot can bring this trip to a successful conclusion! With three or five friends, remember the time together! Our story is just beginning!

Alright, let’s continue with the little Raiders of the Mutianyu Great Wall~

About tickets

There are three types of tickets for the Mutianyu Great Wall. They are scenic spot tickets, ferry tickets, and cable car tickets.

"Shuttle ticket"

The scenic spot stipulates that all tourists need to buy the scenic spot shuttle bus, walk to the ferry station, and wait in line to get on the bus. The round-trip fare is 15 yuan.

It is about 2.5 kilometers from the ferry station to the mountain. Catch up with holidays and peak seasons, the waiting time is about 1 hour.

We took the special line of Mu, so we didn't need to take the shuttle bus, but took the original bus directly up the mountain. No queues.

"Cable Car Tickets"

There are two cable car companies on the Mutianyu Great Wall, one of which is the "Twin Cities of Box Cable Cars" and is the management of the Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area.

Another business, "Two-way cableway slideway" is operated by a third-party company. The cable car fares of the two companies are the same, and you can choose by yourself.

Adult cable car tickets: 100 yuan for one-way cable car, 120 yuan for two-way cable car

Children's cable car tickets: free for children under 1.2 meters, 60 yuan for children under 1.4 meters.

Small TIPS of Mutianyu Great Wall:

1. The scenic spot stipulates that people over 1.4 meters are considered adults.

2. These two cable car tickets are not universal. The box cable car can go to No. 14 watchtower, and the cable car to No. 8 watchtower. All tourists must take the cable car on the same road.

3. The cable car is a tool to take us up the Great Wall. It takes 2.5 hours for ordinary people to climb from No. 14 watchtower to the top of No. 20 watchtower. (This time the meat test hahaha)

Travel strategy

1: The cheapest way to travel freely: through train

It is recommended to take the special line of Mu, the price is the price of the bus, and you can also avoid taking the shuttle bus (saving 15 yuan/person, mainly to save the time of waiting in line for the shuttle bus). And there will be staff explaining the service along with the car. Help buy tickets. Once you pass the ticket gate, you can travel freely. Everyone can let go of themselves and get high at will!

To sum up the convenience is:

1: [Quick] One stop directly to the Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area, the whole journey is high-speed.

2: [Saving money] No need to take the shuttle bus, saving 15 yuan per person. At the foot of the Great Wall, we don’t need to change to a shuttle bus. We can still take the original bus to the ticket gate on the mountain. No need to wait in line for the bus. Especially in the peak season and summer vacation, don't feel so cool!

3: [Worry-free] The on-board staff can quickly buy tickets on the car, and get the tickets as soon as you get off the car, without queuing! ! ! ! And they will patiently answer questions and tell you where the scenery can't be missed, NICE!!! And they have bilingual tour guides in Chinese and English, super professional.

4: [Multi-choice] There are morning and afternoon buses. If you are tired from playing the day before, you can choose the afternoon bus to leave. We are still ok, so the early bus will leave~

Two: choose friends who drive by themselves

There are 3 self-driving routes to choose from, you can decide according to your location, just navigate directly to the Mutianyu Great Wall.

Self-driving route 1.

Jingshun Road to Huairou County, Yingbin Roundabout——Qingqing Road Roundabout——Mutianyu Great Wall

Self-driving route 2

write at the end

When we arrive at Mutianyu, everything is ready, so where do we start? What is the most comfortable way to walk, and how can you not miss the beautiful scenery? In fact, there is no unified answer to this question. A thousand people have a thousand ways, but there will always be a way that is most suitable for the moment.

1. Take the gondola to Beacon Tower 14 (about 6 minutes). Suitable for all seasons, suitable for the elderly, children, everyone.

2. Take the cableway to the platform in the middle of Beacon Tower No. 5-6 (about 5 minutes). Not suitable for the elderly, children, or special weather.

3. If you choose to walk on foot, the nearest to Dengchengkou is Beacon Tower No. 6. (about 1 hour, it varies from person to person).

No matter which way you get to the Great Wall, where to go, how to go, you can refer to the strategy, but this is not important, enjoy the feeling of climbing the Great Wall, enjoy the pride of being a Chinese at the moment, enjoy the vast distance and the love around you ~ Autumn I have been to the Mutianyu Great Wall, and my life is enough to remember (*^▽^*)
