What travel creators are saying about this spot
Visitors to the Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area often describe the atmosphere as both awe-inspiring and serene, especially during less crowded times such as early winter or autumn. Roseanne Ducut appreciated the moderate three-hour hike with its steep steps, noting the importance of good walking shoes for the experience. Jordan and Emily echoed this sentiment, highlighting the stunning autumn colors and ideal weather, which enhanced their emotional and thrilling visit. The consensus among creators is that Mutianyu offers a cleaner and more accessible experience compared to other sections, as sherinz Vlog pointed out, making it a better option for viewing the Great Wall clearly.
When it comes to the practical side of the visit, many creators found convenience and added fun in the available services. Roseanne Ducut praised the Viator tour package, which included transportation, buffet lunch, entrance fees, and rides such as the cable car and toboggan, making the visit seamless and enjoyable. Jordan and Emily also recommended the toboggan ride as a fun and unique way to descend from the wall. However, Two Brits On The Go suggested that for those seeking a more rugged and less restored experience, visiting sections like Jinshanling might be preferable, perhaps with an organized tour for better access.
