--Great Wall at Mutianyu: used to serve as the northern barrier defending the capital and imperial tombs in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). This section is surrounded by woodland and streams. It is less crowded than Badaling section and busy than Simatai and Jinshanling. It’s easy to access by 45 miles away from Beijing. The trip will finish 16 densely placed towers with a total length of 2.5 km.
Mutianyu offers a wonderfully satisfying experience of the Wall. It has superb scenery, dense vegetation and many fine watchtowers in an excellent restored section which is about six meters broad. The brickwork is elaborate, with crenellations on both sides and finely curved eaves on some watch-tower roofs. There are decorative gables with animal statues, and tablets bearing calligraphy above some entrances.
There are 22 towers on the wall. The western section is more steep and straight upward, so please take a breath when doing the hiking.
