Great Wall of China at Mutianyu

10. They Check Tickets

Here they check and punch your tickets. From the aisles available it would seem crowds can be greater than it is today. Great Wall Mutianyu Section is about 1 1/4 hours drive from Beijing. This section of the wall is less touristy than Badaling. Includes gondola tickets up and either gondola or toboggan sled down. If going in the morning you can enjoy a lunch including fresh fish (trout) if you like.
