For most visitors, walking on the Great Wall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I always ensure we allocate plenty of time so that everyone can walk, reflect, truly soak it in, and take plenty of memorable pictures.

Once you ascend the Mutianyu Great Wall, you're treated to breathtaking natural scenery. A walk on the Wall offers you the unique experience of appreciating both the majesty of the structure itself and the beauty of the landscape that embraces it.

You have several flexible options for exploring the Great Wall here:

Option A (Easy Round Trip): Take the cable car for a relaxing round trip.

Option C (The Full Experience): take the cable car up, enjoy a scenic walk from Watchtower 14 to Watchtower 6, and then descend either by toboggan or chairlift.

The beauty of a private tour is its flexibility. You decide how to best experience the Great Wall.

I incorporate food culture into all my tours. Discovering authentic local eats is an integral part of the journey. I’ll recommend and take you to authentic local restaurants based on your tastes.

Please don’t hesitate to inform me of any dietary preferences or restrictions.
