Map & Itinerary
Map & Itinerary
The hike pass what residents call “the Wild Wall” nearby Lianhuachi Village, connected with the restored section of Mutianyu – not only is the hike itself picturesque, but it combines the old with the new! Hikers start with a leisurely walk round a quiet village in a picturesque valley, and hike on an unrestored part of the wall, which is not generally known by tourists, to the restored section at Mutianyu. The hike will end with a slide down Mutianyu Great Wall on the toboggan. This trip can be taken any time during the year, even winter, and always makes for a memorable day-trip. However, the most picturesque seasons are Spring and Fall.
Mutianyu Great Wall is in Huairou District (怀柔), 73 km north of central Beijing, about 1½–2 hours' drive. This section of wall connects the Jiankou Great Wall section in the east and the Baima Pass section in the west. It is one of the best-preserved and best-known sections. The surrounding natural scenery is breath-taking. Woods cover over ninety-six percent of the total scenic area. Flowers bloom all over the mountains in spring. Grasses dress the hillside green in summer. Trees are laden with sweet fruit in autumn, and especially in October, leaves turn red or yellow, touching the mountain tops with gold. In winter, the wall is covered by snow, making it more magnificent.
