Pass By: Mutianyu Great Wall, Mutianyu Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing China
As one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the Mutianyu section was built in the mid-6th century during the Northern Qi in the Ming dynasty. Compared with other sections of the Great Wall, Mutianyu possesses unique characteristics in its construction. The watchtowers are densely placed along this section of the Great Wall – 22 watchtowers on this 2,250-meter-long stretch. Both the outer and inner parapets are crenelated with merlots so that the soldiers can shoot the fire at the enemy on both sides – a feature scarce on other parts of the Great Wall.
This section of the Great Wall has seen its fair share if important visitors, from world leaders to sports clubs (the NBA’s Golden State Warriors).
Mutianyu does not get as packed as Badaling, allowing you to have a peaceful time exploring the wall. You may get down in the end via walking, taking a cable car, or taking a toboggan ride.
