I have visited the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall on several occasions. It is an amazing sight. On a clear day you can see the skyscrapers of Beijing off in the distance.

One key reason to visit this section is that they have a cable car to take visitors from the car park area up to the wall. This is handy if you have young children or elderly. Or even if you just don’t want to negotiate a heap of stairs.

The Mutianyu section is located in Huairou County 70km (43.5 mi) northeast of Beijing.

Getting there
If you are feeling adventurous you can go by bus. Catch bus no. 916 from the Donzhimen Long Distance Bus Station. Get off when you reach Huairou City. At this stage it is best to take a taxi for the remaining 17km. It should cost around 35 RMB.

For more information visit the Official Mutianyu section of the Great Wall website.
