Easily accessible from Beijing Capital Airport

It was built starting around 214 BC, at the behest of Emperor Qin Shi Huang to defend the empire from nomadic populations, particularly the dangerous Huns. Its length has been estimated at 6,350 kilometers, with varying heights.

Safe and comfortable cable car. Useful for quickly ascending and descending the Great Wall.

Unfortunately, it can get very crowded and it can be difficult to pass each other in some narrow places. Otherwise, it's a must-see!

Once you passed the entrance gate to the Mutianyu tourist area and got off the shuttle bus you have multiple options going up to the wall: 1) simply walk up, which is quite strenuous; 2) take a chairlift up, which allows you to take in some first impressions with a largely unobstructed view; 3) with a gondola ropeway, which takes groups of people per cabin.

This marks the upper terminal station of the chairlift.
