The walls, passes, beacon towers and watchtowers of the Badaling Great Wall reflect the superb architectural skills of ancient China. The city wall is tall and thick, with an average height of 7.8 meters. It is equipped with watchtowers, perforations, etc. The layout of the pass city is ingenious, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an outstanding representative of ancient military architectural art.

    3. Mutianyu Great Wall

      The Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Mutianyu Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing, China. It is about 70 kilometers away from downtown Beijing and takes about 1.5 hours. The Mutianyu Great Wall is one of the best-preserved sections of the Ming Dynasty's ten-thousand-li Great Wall, stretching 5,400 meters. It has well preserved the original architectural style and historical traces, allowing tourists to truly experience the grandeur and magnificence of the ancient Great Wall. Meanwhile, there are relatively fewer tourists, unlike some popular scenic spots which are crowded. This allows tourists to enjoy the scenery of the Great Wall more comfortably and have a great time during their visit. Upon arriving at Mutianyu, our package provides two convenient ways to ascend the Great Wall: one is to take the cable car up and down, and the other is to take a chairlift up and slide down, which adds fun to your visit.

    Beijing tour

    We had Angie as a guide to tour Mutianyu along with the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace. Angie is very friendly and helpful and made the experience so much easier, enjoyable and informative. I'd highly recommend this tour and we'll never forget our experiences!

    Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options cost?

    +

    Prices start at $104 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 109 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options?

    +

    Around 38 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing Mutianyu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
