Detailed Itinerary
From our meeting point at Lama Temple subway station (exit B), it takes us about 2 hours to reach the starting point of our Jiankou Mutianyu hike.
We start hiking through the farm fields and follow a small forest trail that leads all the way to the Great Wall . It is a 500-meter ascent that takes us about 1 hour. Our efforts are rewarded when we stand on top of the Zhengbeilou Watchtower (991m) where some of the most spectacular pictures have been taken.
View from the Zhengbeilou Watchtower
We walk east on the Wall to the highest point of Jiankou (1029 meters), allowing you to see the entire Mutianyu Great Wall plus most part of Jiankou as well.
After a good hour hiking on top of the Jiankou Great Wall, a tree full of prayer flags announces the start of the Mutianyu Great Wall.
Mutianyu Great Wall in the fall
The Mutianyu Great Wall ,built in the Tang dynasty (618-907), reinforced during the Ming dynasty and restored by Deng Xiao Ping in the 198o’s making it today’s best preserved section of the Beijing Great Wall.
We walk on top the well preserved Jiankou Great Wall passing through 18 of its 24 watchtowers. From watchtower number 6, Zhengguan Terrace, we hike or slide our way down the Great Wall on the Toboggan and go for a late but good lunch. (Fee for the Toboggan is 100 cny for adults and 60 cny for kids)
Sliding down with the toboggan
By 5pm we should be back at our meeting point in Beijing.
Level 2: Medium/Strong
A good physical condition is required for hiking in these designed trails. Hikes marked as level 2 are usually long day hikes or day hikes that include a steep uphill hike and/or trails where some balance is needed. Usually kids from age of 10 are all right with these trips.
