Ultimate Travel Guide to Mutianyu Great Wall
Mutianyu Great Wall is around 1.5 hours of driving from downtown Beijing, or at least 1 hour 20 minutes if you are coming from PEK Airport by road. Being the fully restored section of the Great Wall, Mutianyu is much quieter and easier to walk in than Badaling.
With fewer tour buses, stops, easier walking conditions, convenient facilities (cable car, chairlift, and toboggan), Mutianyu is a good alternative for Badaling.
Go Early-Just Be Prepared To Walk
The best way to have an exciting tour of the Mutianyu is to start very early at the crack of dawn. Getting to Mutianyu early in the morning you will enjoy the best walk, with the perfect opportunity to ride cable car or chairlift for the shortest trip up the wall. You should, however, relieve yourself before reaching the Mutianyu since there are very limited restrooms.
The entire Mutianyu section is 2.2 kilometers long, going early in the morning, therefore, gives you adequate time to tour all the towers starting from the first to the twenty tower.
Bring Comfortable Shoes
Walking the Great Wall of China is no stroll in the park although the surface of Mutianyu is generally smooth. The section between tower 19 and 20 (left towers when you’re facing the entrance) is really steep, containing approx. 450 steps. If you find climbing vertical steps exciting, you will enjoy this part of the wall.
Similarly, the vertical steps between the 1st and the 6th towers may add the difficulty of your walk. If you are not in good shape, you may struggle.
However, thanks to the cable car and the chairlift, you can still get to the top of the Mutianyu without hiking up the wall. You only need to book a seat in either.
Check the Weather Forecast
It’s advisable to check Mutianyu weather forecast before you start your walk if heavy rain/ snow/ low cloud or other severe weather conditions is predicted then postpone your walk for another day.
Walk Duration Is Approx. 2-3 hours
About 9 million people walk along all or part of Mutianyu Great Wall each year, enjoying some amazing views. The entire Mutianyu walk will take approx. 2 -3 hours, with plenty of relaxation, resting, picture taking along the way.
The Mutianyu trails are well-formed and easy to follow, which makes walking along with it relatively easy. It takes on average of 40 minutes to hike uphill to the wall, with some breaks regardless of individual fitness, age and/or length of stride.
Walk up the trails you will reach the sixth, eighth or tenth tower. If you are coming from the Dream Stone City or the South Entrance, near the toboggan, walk up the stairs you will reach towers six or eight.
Alternatively, walk up from North Entrance close to the cable car station, and ascend the stairs till you reach tower eight or ten.
Three Easy Ways to Visit Mutianyu
There are three easy/popular means of ascending/descending the Mutianyu. They include:
- The Toboggan (slide)
- The Chairlift
- The Cable car
1. The Mutianyu Toboggan (Slide)
If you are in search of a fast and convenient way of returning to the entrance, your solution lies in riding the toboggan.
You can hop aboard the toboggan and travel from the Wall to the valley below on a metal winding track. Alone or in pairs, you ride the toboggan reaching speeds of up to 45km/hr, travelling through the valley to the bottom of the hill.
Situated on between tower 6 and tower 5, no marking, near a side gate on the Wall, toboggan runs for 5184 feet or 1580 meters long. From 1998 when it started operating, the toboggan runs all year round, only pausing operations during extreme weather conditions like heavy rains or snow.
Open hour: 8am-5pm in summer. 8:30am – 4:30pm in winter.
Mutianyu Great Wall Toboggan uses the theory of acceleration of gravity and makes you dive along the mountain path like low – latitude flying or high – speed driving.
The toboggan ride goes down a series of zigzag bends, with an altitude difference of 100 m (328 ft). Carts for single and double is available so that adult can keep their child accompany during the toboggan ride. Mutianyu Toboggan down cost: RMB 100 per person.
Where to Board Toboggan
You can take toboggan down from No. 6 Watchtower near the South Entrance. You can easily find it.
How to Control Toboggan
- The toboggan is fun, safe and not scary at all, although you may be backed up a little. Moreover, it is easy to use control features – push handle forward = speed up, pull back = brake.
- Keep your hands and feet inside the toboggan, sit centrally (center of gravity!) on the sledge – do not touch the track or lean outside, you might burn yourself or fall out.
- Do not stop, stand still or exit on the run.
- Always keep a distance of 10 metres on the run between yourself and the person in front. Ride safely and at a speed that does not endanger you or others.
The Best Time to Ride Toboggan
The perfect timing to have a memorable toboggan ride on the Mutianyu is on weekdays. Try to avoid visiting the Mutianyu during holidays or on weekends, as more people would take weekends to explore it, making the Great Wall rather crowded than usual.
Avoiding the long lines: go either early in the morning from 8 am to 11 am or much later in the afternoon between 2 pm to 5 pm to avoid the crowds. Avoid getting stuck behind other riders who are scared of moving fast, if you don’t want to ruin your fun.
Is There a Weight Limit for Tobogganing?
Most people can ride (maximum weight 110 kg). You decide the speed yourself and in theory, heavier loads make the toboggan go faster.
Restrictions for Riding Toboggan
The sick, the elderly as well as children below the ages of ten or have a height measuring less than 130 cm, must be accompanied by a responsible adult to ride.
A word of caution, though, you cannot use a toboggan ticket on a cable car and vice versa, as different companies run both the chair lift/toboggan and the cable car, and do not accept each others’ tickets. A return ticket for the cable car will not get you down on the chairlift or toboggan. You can buy tickets for all three at the top, so best to decide before you go.
2. The Chairlift
A 550 meters long open chairlift will take you from the parking lot to tower six and vice versa under ten minutes.
The open ski-lift kind of cable car can comfortably accommodate 2 passengers side by side. The ride offers a perfect elevated opportunity to sit back, relax and savor the breathtaking beauty of the Mutianyu Great Wall section.
Chairlift works from 8 am to 5 pm during summer, while in winter, it runs from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
The good thing about the chairlift is that if you have two-way tickets, you can ride down either using the chairlift or the toboggan.
The chairlift gives you the chance to relax if you had a longish hike, sit back, and enjoy the scenery.
Charlift Price and How to Pay For the Ride
To buy a chairlift ticket at Mutianyu, you can pay cash either at the tourist center or at the south ticket booth.
Chairlift One Way: RMB 100
Children 12 & Under: RMB 60
Chairlift Two Way: RMB 120
Children 12 & Under: RMB 80
Where to Board A Chairlift
Chairlift lower station is near south ticket check, and the upper station is between tower 5 and tower 6, you can easily find it.
How to Get on A Chairlift
Riding the chairlift is really simpler than you think.
- Once it is your turn to get on the chairlift, move your body to the “load here” line.
- just sit down when the chair touches the back of your legs, and put the safety/footrest bar down.
- If you are riding with strangers who have not put the safety/footrest bar down, simply ask that you are pulling the bar down.
Feeling confident on the chairlift can make your Mutianyu Great Wall visit much more pleasant.
How to Get Off A Chairlift
- As you approach the upper chairlift station, make sure your feet are off of the footrest and put it up.
- Stay where you are on the seat until you reach the “unload here” marker.
- Use your free hands to push up the chair to stand up, get out in a clear zone and walk away.
3. The Cable Car
If the prospect of climbing the Mutianyu turns you off, then you will love the cable car. It is a six-passenger seating capacity vehicle, which offers a convenient and efficient manner of getting to the top.
Riding the cable car is a quick journey from one side to the other – only about 8 minutes – but it is possible to book yourself for a roundtrip visit. The cable cars are spaced 30 seconds apart and such high frequency means long queues aren’t a problem.
The cable car brings you to the platform close to tower 14. You will notice that two separate companies operate the cable car and the chairlift at Mutianyu. If you take the red enclosed cable cars, it will take you up to the 14th tower from where you can either descend the wall or continue walking uphill.
Open hour: 8am-5pm in summer. 8:30am – 4:30pm in winter. Please note that in high winds or dangerous weather, the cable car may temporarily close.
Cable Car Price and How to Pay For the Ride
Pay before you get on. You can buy tickets either at tourist center or at the booth near the cable car station.
Cable Car One Way: RMB 100
Children One Way: RMB 50
Cable Car Two Way: RMB 120
Children Two Way: RMB 60
Where to Board Cable Car
It’s easy to find and board a cable car. The lower station of Mutianyu cable car is near the North Entrance, while the upper station is near tower 14 watchtower. When waiting at the station, you’ll see the cable car approaching from a distance.
How to Ride Cable Car
Four things to know:
- Riding a cable car at Mutianyu is somewhere between riding an enclosed bus and taking a roller coaster ride (but a slow roller coaster!)
- When it’s your turn to get on, you can sit anywhere there are seats available or stand and hold onto a pole near the door. Many people prefer to sit down for a more comfortable ride.
- Be sure to take your bag off back, and place bag between legs if you want to have the best views or most comfortable ride — or both!
- Make sure to keep your arms and legs inside the car for the reasons of the safety.
Getting Off Cable Car
Three things to know:
- Be very careful getting off. You will be stepping right into a lane of traffic. Getting off when the car moves very slowly is the safest.
- Stand with your back against the car and lower yourself carefully, so you don’t hit your head.
- Don’t rush. Rotate and slide feet out.
All in all, touring Mutianyu Great Wall by cable car is a rewarding experience and a productive way of spending your holiday.
Are Cable Car/Chairlift/Toboggan Safe?
Yes, if you sit on the benches or stand inside, they are totally safe. Cable Car/chairlift/toboggan are used safely on Mutianyu every day. Just apply simple common sense, obey the safety rules and pay attention, then you will be one of the hundreds of thousands of people who ride every year on Mutianyu and go away with wonderful memories.
Mutianyu Shuttle Bus Service
Mutianyu Great Wall cable car/chairlift entrance is approx. 3km away from the ticket booth/ parking lot. You can either ride a shuttle bus (15RMB p.p/10 minutes ride) or walk to the entrance.
The shuttle bus is convenient and drops you off outside the cable car/chairlift entrance. Then you can either go up by cable car/chairlift (approx. 10 minutes ride) or just climb up. When you finished, you return to the parking lot/ticket booth by shuttle bus.

How Much Does It Cost to Visit Mutianyu?
Mutianyu Admission fees vary depending on age, with free entry for children under a certain height:
- Adults entrance ticket RMB 45. There is a reduced fee for seniors elder than 60: RMB 20 (valid ID or passport required).
- Teenagers between 1.2 and 1.4 meters: entrance ticket RMB 20.
- Children under 1.2 meters are free of charge.
- Shuttle bus (one-way): RMB 10.
- Shuttle bus (return) : RMB 15.
The cost of getting to Mutianyu depends on how you reach the wall and back – by cable car, chairlift, toboggan or on foot, but you can expect to pay:
- Entrance fee (RMB 45) + Shuttle bus (RMB 15 return) + climb up (free) + walk down to the entrance (free)= RMB 60: The cheapest way to get to Mutianyu is to climb up to the top and back, which takes approximately 3-4 hours. If you are an experienced hiker and you have enough time in your schedule, there is a lot of steps for you to climb to reach the wall itself.
- Entrance fee (RMB 45) + Shuttle bus (RMB 15 return) + Cable car (RMB 100 one-way up) + Walk down to the entrance (free)= RMB 160 If you don’t like the initial climb up or, you’re in a hurry, the quickest way to reach the top is to take a cable car to save your time and energy.
- Entrance fee (RMB 45) + Shuttle bus (RMB 15 return) + Cable car (RMB 120 return)= RMB 180 If you don’t like too much climbing or, you want to spend more quality time on the wall itself, the fastest way to get to the top and return is to ride a cable car up and down. That means you board the cable car to go up the mountain, enjoy the views, and then use the same ticket to come back down in the cable car. This way will make your Great Wall walk more relaxing and refreshing.
- Entrance fee (RMB 45) + Shuttle bus (RMB 15 return) + Cable car (RMB 100 one-way up) + Toboggan (RMB 100 one-way down) = RMB 260 The coolest and the most expensive way to experience Mutianyu is to take a cable car up and ride toboggan down to the bottom. Toboggan is fun for everyone, kids would love it.
- Entrance fee (RMB 45) + Shuttle bus (RMB 15 return) + Chairlift up + Chairlift or toboggan down (RMB 120 return in total)= RMB 180 To enjoy a short walk in the section between tower 6 and tower 1, the simplest way is to take a chairlift up, then get down by either chairlift or toboggan. This section usually has fewer visitors, you can have some quiet moments on the wall.
Is Mutianyu Great Wall Crowded?
Mutianyu doesn’t have big tourist crowds. It is more quiet than Badaling and seldom overcrowded. The busiest time of year is from June to October and the quietest times are weekdays during the winter. The worst month to visit Mutianyu is July and August: not only does it have the highest number of visitors, but that’s also the months when most local kids take their summer school holidays.
When is the Best Time of Day to Visit Mutianyu?
Mutianyu has the smallest queues in the morning at the opening time (from 7:30am in summer or 8 am in winter). If you don’t mind getting up early to avoid crowds, going at this hour will give you a quieter and more private experience even during Chinese public holidays such as National Day Holiday (October 1–7) and Labor Day Holiday (May 1–3).
To avoid the weekend crowds, aim to visit Mutianyu in the morning on a weekday. You may run into a school trip happening during the week, however, the best time of the day to see Mutianyu is still between the hours of 7:30 am – 9 am or during the lunch hour (early afternoon) as these are the quietest times. The largest crowds will generally start to thin out after 3:00 pm in the afternoon on weekdays.
How to Avoid the Line at the Entrance? How to Get Tickets in Advance?
Here are the ways to get Mutianyu tickets in advance and avoid the lines/queues:
- Get Beijing Annual Pass for Tourist Attractions (It offers skip-the-line entry to Mutianyu). I don’t actually recommend this as the best money-saving deal. But it does allow you entry to Mutianyu without waiting in the line to buy tickets. If you have an Annual Pass, you can skip the longer line, and go to the much shorter line for Annual Pass holders.
- You can book a driver/tour of Mutianyu. When you book a tour, the driver/tour guide/company takes care of getting the tickets for you, and of course, you skip the line.
- You can pre-purchase tickets on the Mutianyu website, the official website of Mutianyu Great Wall office. If you cannot read Chinese, you may try using Google Translate. You also need to provide a local mobile phone number to verify your order, as well as an Alipay account or a local Chinese bank card. Unfortunately, foreign cards are not accepted. If you don’t have a local phone number and local Chinese bank card, this could be difficult for you.
- If you find the above website a not totally user-friendly, you can buy your ticket online through a third-party ticket agency, like this one: Mutianyu tickets or this one: Mutianyu tickets agency.
- If you do not get tickets in advance, there is still a good chance you can avoid the lines. As I mentioned before, you can purchase your tickets at the entry when they first open at 7:30 am/8:30 am to skip the lines.

Hi,
I will arrive at Beijing airport at 12:05 am on July 2nd, which is a rather odd hour. Ideally I would like to get a few hours of sleep at some hotel, then take a trip to Mutianyu in the mroning, go back to the hotel to freshen up and finally return to airport by 2:00pm.
What do you suggest?
Thanks
Hi AA, We have sent a quote for you but it turned out that the e-mail failed to reach you. Could you send us your email address again so we could provide the itinerary and quotation for you again. Thanks Ricky

hi, I am looking to do mutianyu wall and possibly the tiannamen square during my 10 hour (free) layover in Beijing. How much would this cost me? I am by myself but happy to join in on any tour groups
Hi, Sarah, the quote has been sent to your mailbox, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
My flight arrived in Beijing at 7 am.
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go straight to Mutianyu.
It is a Sunday. Would it be too crowded?
Hi, Ang, it’s a good idea to go straight to Mutianyu from the airport. Compared with Badaling, Mutianyu usually has less visitors. So Going to Mutianyu on Sunday is ok.
Hi Ricky,
Could you quote for the trip, direct from airport to Mutianyu on 7th Sep 2014? (arriving at 7am).
Our group has 4 adults and 2 children.
We have 2 elderly, so I am not sure if they would be able to take the travelling.
Another option would be from hotel to Mutianyu on 8th Sep.
It would also require airport pickup on 7th Sep.
Hello, I will be on a 9 hour layover in Beijing on January 9, 2015. I would like to take a tour of Mutianyu during that time. Please quote me a price for this tour.

I am in Beijing airport for about 9 hours this Wednesday 4th and wondering if you knew of any groups already going to the GtWall for a trip. I am looking to join an existing group and not a private tour, as I am solo traveler and would like to save money.
Please can you tell me if you have availability?
