Fall would be the best season if you can choose. It's pleasantly dry and cool, and the colorful foliage looks beautiful on the mountains. I brought my kids there in summer 2014. The kids didn't enjoy climbing the wall under the hot summer sun.
Best time to go is December - I literally climbed the Mutianyu wall and was the ONLY person on the wall. Watched the sunset and have a hotel room booked literally at the entrance of the cable car
Wow that must have been incredible! I've heard it can get quite icey and slippery in winter, especially if it snows, but seeing the Great Wall without crowds would be worth the cold!
We spent about half a day there and took our time with it, we arrived around 8AM and left by noon. If you did it quickly you could probably wrap it up in 2-3 hours
Thanks for your sharing on Mutianyu. Is the walk from the closed cable car tower to the slide easy? Are they mostly sloping downhill or are there steep climb in between?
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video! We found it fairly easy as it’s mostly fixed, but there were a lot of rocky bits and lots of ups and downs. I’d say mostly downhill or flat but there were some uphill bits too
Thank you for the tip. Just to clarify, in 2:17 you mentioned end of March/early May. Did you mean ‘end of March/early April’ or ‘end of April/early May’?
Thanks a lot! I was trying to decide between Badaling and Mutianyu sections. Going in Sep. Mutianyu sounds perfect for me. Also I heard it is a less restored section, which means more authentic.
Nice, September will be a great time to see the Great Wall! I found Mutianyu to be quite restored, but I don’t know how it compares to Badaling so maybe it is more authentic. Definitely less crowded and the slide is good fun 😊
Hello, I'll be visiting the Great Wall in October. Did you take the cable car up and walk/hike over to the toboggan section? If so, how long of a walk was it?
There are two cable cars actually, one thats more of a chair that comes up right next to the toboggan slide, so you could just walk around there and then slide down, and the closed cable car that you can see in this video arrives at the top around 2km max from the slide I’d say (can’t remember exactly) we walked loads because we walked first in the opposite direction and then back towards the slide. If you take the chair lift you’ll be closer to the slide 😊
Thanks for this video. I'm visiting Mutianyu in a week's time. I only just realised that I may have a problem as I am afraid of heights. Are there narrow sections on the Mutianyu great wall? Would you suggest I just take the cable up instead of climbing/ walking up and take the slide down? Thanks. :)
You will love Mutianyu! I didn’t find any of the sections particularly narrow, it’s all quite wide throughout, although there are some sections that are quite steep with steps. I took the cable car up so I can’t really say how the hike is sorry! But the cable car isn’t scary as it doesn’t really go that high up (compared to mountain ones say when you go skiing) it’s not that tall
I don’t remember seeing one sorry! But there might have been. I only remember the photographers on the slide down and you could buy the photo at the end (like on rides at fun fairs)
Hello How are you? Thanks for replaying. For your kind information, I visited your TH-cam channel & also Facebook Your video content was very informative and instructive. and also Presentation Style, Editing of the video, Audio and Visual Quality, Passion and Sincerity, Innovative Ideas, music, and Background Score were just amazing and interesting. I want to talk to you . Can I ?
I didn't mean to say it's the only way to visit Mutianyu, just that it's the best / easiest since it doesn't have direct connections from Beijing like Badaling does
This is my dream place. very beautiful & amazing.
It’s really incredible!
Wow, nice place.
It’s stunning!
Good job! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Good tips and sharing:) It looks magnificent!
Thanks so much! Yes it really is magnificent!
Love your music choice!
Thank you!

I totally agree! I’d love to see the Great Wall surrounded by orange fall colours 😍
most beautiful in end April with flowers or end Oct with red leaves. winter with snow is also beautiful
Enjoy China
Thank you!
Nice
Thanks!
Super helpful tips! Would love to climb the great wall one day. Saving this video for when we do 😄
Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

Ill be watching out for your next China trip. 😊
Thank you! I don’t know when it will be, but hopefully soon!
Thanks for the video. How long would it take to do it (cable car - toboggan) if you were in a rush? We won’t have much time there…

Are there any bathrooms on the great wall? and how long will it take to get from the beginning to the toboggan slide?
Thank you for the tip. Just to clarify, in 2:17 you mentioned end of March/early May. Did you mean ‘end of March/early April’ or ‘end of April/early May’?
End of March / early April! We were there for easter in 2024 :) I got distracted and said it wrong haha
Wow ❤👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! The Great Wall of China is amazing 😍

Well done. Wonderful.
Thank you!
Can you share how you got to Mutianyu from the city, bus or taxi?
We took a taxi, it took around 1.5 hours on the way there and 2 on the way back
Thank you for your reply. I will be visiting in September. Did you use cash or mobile payment?
If i wanna slide down how much should i pay and i need to appointment for spide
Hello! I think it was 100 yuan for the slide, and you can’t book a slot, whenever you get there you just join the queue
❤❤❤
🙌
Is there any photographer to take photos for visitors ?
I don’t remember seeing one sorry! But there might have been. I only remember the photographers on the slide down and you could buy the photo at the end (like on rides at fun fairs)

Beijing is a very good place for tourists
It really is!
Taxis aren't the only wat to visit this section. At least give accurate info...
I didn't mean to say it's the only way to visit Mutianyu, just that it's the best / easiest since it doesn't have direct connections from Beijing like Badaling does
CCPpaysyou.
是的，支付了她良好的环境，美丽的景色，善良的人民，安全还有美食，绝对的物有所值，如果你来了中国政府也同样会支付给你，但聪明和智慧的脑子是否给你就不确定了。。。BTW it's CPC...more reading...welcome to China
This trip was self funded, but yes China is great 😊
pls don't care those groundless words. Enjoy your time in China.
