Plan your Beijing tour in autumn<\/a>? If you are interested in the fall foliage in Beijing, the best time to visit Beijing falls on between October 15 and November 15 each year when the autumn leaves are at their best \u2013 yellow, orange, pink, and red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are totally 23 watch towers on Mutianyu Great Wall<\/a> snaking from the east Watch Tower No.01 up to the west Watch Tower No.23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have three ways to reach the Great Wall:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)Hike up either to Watch Tower No.7 or 8; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)Take a chairlift up to the Tower No.06 ( or a slide down from the tower No.06 afterwards); <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3)Take a cable car up to the Watch Tower No.14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you are on the wall, you either hike up to the west direction or down to the east direction. Most travellers would choose to climb up to the west for the highest tower – Watch Tower No.23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hike up the Mutianyu Great Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hike up to the Mutianyu Great Wall along the mountain trails and reach either Watch Tower 7 or 8. Once you get to the Wall, you either continue to climb up the Wall to the direction of the highest tower – Tower 23, or walk down to the Tower No.01 – the lowest tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
