Hi there! I’ve been trying to find out how long it takes to get to this part of the wall from Beijing. I’ve not had any luck. What’s the best way to get there and how lucky by does it take? I’ll be going in August!
Hi Mandy,
It’s about a 1.5 – 2 hour drive by car. If you’re visiting Beijing, the best way would probably to coordinate with your hotel to find a driver who can take you.
Hi Ricky! This a nicely written piece about the Mutianyu section of the wall. Btw, may I know the date you’ve been here? The scene is refreshingly good and less people hiking. Thanks.
Hey Mharj,
This was in May 2017. As long as you depart as early as possible and arrive on the wall around 9am, your visit should be relatively crowd-free!
