What you'll see and do
Mutianyu Great Wall
Mutianyu Great Wall is much steeper than Badaling Great Wall, and a more challenging climb. This section is older than Badaling, and features outer and inner parapets. There are 22 watch-towers in the 2250-meter-long Mutianyu Great Wall, and the highest one is 540 meters above sea level. This section of the wall is also surrounded by woodland and streams. The Great Wall takes on different looks in different seasons. In spring, flowers are blooming. In summer, the Great Wall is lush and green. In winter, the Great Wall is covered with white snow. However, the Great Wall’s most charming season is autumn, when fruits ripen and leaves of gorgeously diverse color fall at this photogenic spot.

Great wall standing tall 🧱
Ive waited a long time to come to china and explore and get to see the great wall of china was always top of my list amongst that. Sept 15th yesterday i got to do just that beautiful weather and a great tour guide annie who was knowledgeable and friendly looked after me well and she also managed to get a couple of great pictures of me there too at the great wall. 📷 We went to Mutianyu section of the great wall great views more greenery around than the other far busier sections and yet just as amazing and a bit quieter. Going outside of a Monday when other landmarks like forbidden city is closed is clever planning and also outside of china official holidays time and avoiding the weekend allows for a bit quieter a visit also better for moving around and pictures videos etc. Thanks Tripadvisor thanks annie our guide thanks to our driver and thanks china i highly recommend this tour. 🇨🇳 😀 🧱

Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 708 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 Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing?
+
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 Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing?
+
Around 248 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full-Day Tour Including Lunch from Beijing 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.
