Why should you go to Mutianyu for a Great Wall tour?
- Mutianyu Great Wall is the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
- The ancient city wall, green pine, distant mountains, and mist are already a historical picture.
- It is only 1.5 hours away from Beijing, closer than other sections such as Jiankou or Simatai.
- It is never as crowded as Badaling.
Why is it better to try a private Mutianyu sunset walk?
- The Great Wall at Mutianyu is magnificent, and everyone is fascinated by the sunset. As sunset approaches, there are fewer tourists on the Great Wall, which is a good opportunity for you to take pictures.
- After watching the sunset in Mutianyu, your way back to Beijing will be smooth, just to avoid the rush hour in the evening.
Steve Morse, the owner of an American roofing company, expressed his shock when he visited Mutianyu. "Standing on the Great Wall, I am amazed that the Mutianyu Great Wall has survived hundreds of years of vicissitudes, but it still stands tall today." Although the Badaling Great Wall is magnificent, there are too many modern carvings to cover her rich history. The Mutianyu Great Wall is not the case. It probably preserved her original historical appearance as much as possible during the renovation, so you can easily find the traces of the years on her body. Stroking the Great Wall wall and closing your eyes, it seems that you are back in ancient times. Countless soldiers fought bloody battles on the Great Wall to resist foreign invasion."
Jennifer Zanders, a high school teacher from Vancouver, said, "Ascending the stairs and boarding the beacon towers, I couldn't help being impressed by the majesty of the Mutianyu Great Wall. Designed by skilled craftsmen in ancient times, the Mutianyu Great Wall is simply unbreakable. It is hard to imagine how people built such magnificent projects on such steep mountains in ancient times when construction tools were underdeveloped. At this time, I couldn't help but be impressed by the wisdom of the ancients."
