What to expect

Join an unforgettable adventure at the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, located in Huairou District. Here, history and nature merge to create an incredible experience.

Step back in time to the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the Great Wall's origins trace their roots. It all began with the legendary "Beacon fire playing with the vassals" in Haojing, now Xi'an in Shaanxi Province. As the Spring and Autumn Period unfolded, states vied for power and mutual protection, propelling the Great Wall's construction into its first glorious climax. While its initial length was shorter, the Qin Dynasty's unification of China saw the first emperor connecting and refurbishing the Warring States Great Wall, shaping it into the iconic structure we know today.

Fast forward to the Ming Dynasty, the era that meticulously crafted much of the Great Wall's present splendor.

Dive into the heart of the Great Wall's wonder at Mutianyu, a place of historical significance surrounded by an enchanting ecological environment and breathtaking scenery. Spring reveals blossoming trees, with peach blossoms and willows painting a vibrant landscape. Summer brings lush greenery and the soothing sound of gurgling waters. Autumn adorns the area in a fiery sea of red leaves, while winter transforms it into a serene, snowy paradise.

Don't miss this incredible journey, where history and nature intertwine to create an experience you'll cherish forever.
