The Mutianyu Great Wall has an extremely 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. For me, the Mutianyu Great Wall is an ideal site for holiday makers instead of the Great Wall hikers. But to make your hike more interesting, I suggest you walk up to the Great Wall rather than take a cable car. You know, the 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.

      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.

 Features: natural landscape, green, smooth, towers at close intervals, well preserved and original
 Hiking Area: 4-10 towers of the 20 towers on the wall
