Tour Description
Walk from Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall Jiankou Great Wall Map
Picked from your downtown hotel within the third ring road in Beijing between 7:00am and 8:00am starting from the south to the north by our English speaking experienced great wall tour guide and have 2.5-hour drive to the starting point at Jiankou Great Wall. We will start to hike eastward around 10:30 from the unrestored Jiankou Great Wall to the restored Mutianyu Great Wall.
For the first hour, we will clamber up the mountain and get to the wall atop the mountain ridge. Starting from Zhengbeilou Tower, then walk eastward ups and downs on the rugged wall along the mountain ridges past the wild and crumbling towers at Jiankou, and reach the restored and maginificent Mutianyu Great Wall. The hike takes about 4-5 hours for 8km trekking.
One hour scale up a steep hill to reach the wall, 2 hour hike along the unrestored section starting from Zhengbeilou Tower at Jiankou (Not advisable to scramble the section between the Upward Flying Eagle Tower and Zhengbeilou Tower ) and 1-1.5 hour walk along restored section at Mutianyu (many other tourists). You may get down from the wall at Mutianyu on foot ( half hour walking down ) or take a cable car or toboggan. Cable car and toboggan are optional.
Jiankou Great Wall is the greatest and most photogenic section of the Great Wall around Beijing. It is wild and totally unrestored. The tumbledown and crumbling brickwork snakes along a narrow mountain ridge. The Mutianyu Great Wall was built in 1404. The fortifications and the Great Wall here are featured by many watchtowers on overlapping mountain ranges. The wall, built with slabs of stone, is crenellated on both sides with bricks. The wall provided better protection and ward off attacks with Jiankou in the west and Gubeikou in the east.
After the hike from Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall, we will have a late Chinese lunch at a local restaurant before returning your downtown hotel in Beijing.
