Mutianyu Great Wall Postcard Ticket Adult

The Mutianyu Great Wall is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved sections of the Great Wall of China. Stretching 5,400 meters along the Yanshan Mountain range, this Ming Dynasty stronghold features 23 watchtowers, unique double-sided battlements, and rare architectural formations such as the “Eagle Flies Facing Upward” and the extraordinary Zhengguan Terrace — a structure made of three parallel watchtowers.

Compared to other sections of the Wall, Mutianyu has retained more of its original historical character while offering well-developed visitor facilities. It is a top choice for travelers seeking a less crowded yet equally majestic Great Wall experience.

🌟 Highlights of Mutianyu Great Wall

• Architectural Rarity: Double-sided battlements and the rare triple-tower Zhengguan Terrace highlight Mutianyu’s military significance.

• Two Scenic Routes:

  • Western Route (Watchtower 14–22): Passes through steep terrain including Ox Horn Edge and the dramatic Arrow Nock section.

  • Eastern Route (Watchtower 6–1): Offers gentler slopes, the Big Corner Tower viewpoint, and the famous toboggan ride at Watchtower 8.

• Cable Car Access: Visitors can take the cable car up to Watchtower 14, explore the western route first, and then descend along the eastern route for a well-rounded tour.

• Stunning Scenery in Every Season:

  • 🌄 Spring/Summer: A colossal dragon winding through emerald-green mountains.

  • 🍂 Autumn: A breathtaking panorama as the Wall winds through fiery red and golden foliage.
