Mutianyu Great Wall and The Schoolhouse 2 Days Tour

Our tour guide will pick you up at your hotel in the early morning at 9:00am. Get to the Mutainyu Great Wall around 10:30am. The Mutianyu Great Wall is known for its beautiful surroundings - dense woods and rich pastures changing colors with the seasons of the year. Two unique features of this section are the double battlements and branch walls found throughout the area.

After 2-3 hours hiking, head to the Schoolhouse by the Mutianyu Great Wall for a romantic lunch. The Schoolhouse was once a abandoned elementary school in the Great Wall Village. Now it hass been turned into park-like campus. Its canteen offers foods using the fresh local ingredients and made in their own sanitary kitchen. The Scoolhouse canteen's regular menu is focused on light Italian food with homemade ice cream, sorbets and chocolates.

After lunch, you may learn the art of glass making and watch the glassblowers in action in the courtyard. You will be amazed by the rich varity of the glass exhibits in their art room.

Then check-in at the countryside house across the Schoolhouse for the night. It is a Simple Luxury Chinese Style Countryside House. Please contact us for a custom home from the countryside House.

After breakfast, you have a free and leisure morning on your own. Check-out at noon and transferred back to your midtown hotel in Beijing. The service ends.

Booking Note:

1. Mutianyu Great Wall has an extemely beautiful natural landscape once you are up on the wall, green, densely wooded. This section of the Great Wall is comparatively smoother than most of other sections.

2. Mutianyue Great Wall is the only section where you have to do the mountain hike if you are going to climb up the Great Wall since the Mutianyu Great Wall doesn't start from the ground unlike other sections of the Great Wall. So at the Mutianyu Great Wall, you have the chance to enjoy the mountain hike as well as the Great Wall hike.

3. There are 20 towers on the Mutianyu Great Wall snaking the ridge for about 3000 meters. The watch towers at the Mutianyu Great Wall are distributed at short intervals. The 20 watch towers are numbered from right to left, or from east to west. The 20th tower is highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall. In any Great Wall hike, it is good for your legs to hike up than to hike down. So we suggest you hike the Mutianyu Great Wall from the left to the right ( from the east to the west).

4. You have three ways of getting to the Great Wall:

1. Walking up the Great Wall along the stone steps (like a mountain hike - 40 minute hike ) - to the 10th Watch Tower

2. Taking a cable car up to the Great Wall - to the 14th Watch Tower

3. Taking a chairlift to the Great Wall - to the 6th Watch Tower
