The great wall of mutianyu

Located in Huairou District, it is one of the new 16 scenes in Beijing. It is connected to Juyongguan Great Wall in the west and Gubeikou in the east.
The total length of 5,400 meters is the longest wall in China. The opening section of the Great Wall is 2,250 meters. It is very rare to have three enemy buildings in Guantai.
The famous Great Wall landscape arrow buckle, horn corner, eagle flying backwards and so on are located at the west end of the Great Wall of Mutianyu, which is the essence of the Great Wall.
Former British Prime Minister John Major, former US President Bill Clinton and many other foreign leaders have visited Mutianyu.

BeiJing MuTianYu Great Wall

Mutianyu (慕田峪) is a section of the Great Wall of China located in Huairou County 70 km northeast of central Beijing. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is connected with Jiankou in the west and Lianhuachi in the east. As one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall used to serve as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs.

History
First built in the mid-6th century during the Northern Qi, the Mutianyu section is older than the Badaling section of the Great Wall. During the Ming dynasty, under the supervision of General Xu Da, construction of the present wall began, building over the previous wall. In 1404, a pass was built in the wall. In 1569, the Mutianyu Great Wall was rebuilt and till today most parts of it are well preserved. The Mutianyu Great Wall has the largest construction scale and best quality among all sections of Great Wall.

BeiJing MuTianYu: Great Wall of China

Built mainly with granite, the wall is 7–8.5 metres high and the top is 4–5 metres wide. Compared with other sections of Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall possesses unique characteristics in its construction.

Watchtowers are densely placed along this section of the Great Wall – 22 watchtowers on this 2,250-metre-long stretch.
Both the outer and inner parapets are crenelated with merlons, so that shots could be fired at the enemy on both sides – a feature very rare on other parts of the Great Wall.
The Mutianyu Pass consists of 3 watchtowers, one big in the centre and two smaller on both sides. Standing on the same terrace, the three watchtowers are connected to each other inside and compose a rarely seen structure among all sections of Great Wall.
Besides, this section of Great Wall is surrounded by woodland and streams. The forest-coverage rate is over 90 percent.

Today, this section of wall is open to visitors. There are three methods of ascent and four methods of descent to choose from. Besides utilizing 4000+ steps, visitors may also choose between a two-rider chairlift or four-rider gondola lift up from the foothills to the level of the wall, which runs along the ridges above. These lifts may also be used to descend. Another feature of the wall at Mutianyu is an alternate method of descent by single-rider personal wheeled toboggan. This allows single riders to descend from the wall to the valley on a winding metal track.

Adjacent to the Mutianyu wall is its namesake village, which has been hailed by the Chinese government as a model village because of its rebirth largely thanks to tourism and glassware industries. Mutianyu Village is twinned with the village of Shelburne Falls in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.

Due to its proximity to the Jiankou Great Wall, the Mutianyu-Jiankou trail is becoming one of the most popular Great Wall hikes. As Jiankou is in a state of disrepair, this hike combines the preserved condition of Jiankou’s Great Wall with the classic restorative brickwork of Mutianyu.

when back trip. if don’t repeat the same itinerary,don’t buy set tickets for cable car.and have to buy separate cable car
the effective and fastest hiking route is to choose cable car up and toboggan down
There are two cable car companies operating at both ends of the Great Wall, that is, whether you choose a large cable car or a small cable car, you have to go back the same way, and vice versa, very tricky, or you can buy tickets for another cable car almost at the original price.
The less expensive way to buy tickets is to buy one-way rope tickets and one-way cable car tickets. If you buy a 190 ticket directly in order to save money, you can only get off at the original point and then go back to the place where you got off.
compare with badaling, mutianyu have less tourists,more peace and quiet.
