Visited in December and had the wall basically to myself. Wonderful views, amazing history as explained by my private tour guide. Cable car was great.

Such a shame so many shops there were closed - please buy a magnet or something to support these businesses if you go! …

When we went in December 2020 we had the wall pretty much to ourselves. To get here we hired a local guide that picked us up from our hotel and bought all of our tickets.

My experience at the Mutianyu Great Wall was spectacular! From top of the wall, I had a great view of what was below us. It's also great for photoshoots. I really enjoyed my experience there and would definitely visit it again.

I have visited Badaling , Simatai and Mutianyu great wall and MutianYu stands out to be the best .Less crowded a bit more expensive then Badaling but great scenery . The eating places at the base of the Great wall before you take the cable car are also nice . There is even a Burger King , so you need not pack you food . The best thing to do is to go for overnight stay in nearby boutique hotels . That will make the trip worth the while.…
