1. West Line: A more labor-saving tour route is to visit the western section of the Great Wall by taking a cable car. This line specifically enters from the north ticket gate first, then takes the cable car to the No. 14 enemy building, then walks to the No. 20 enemy building, after enjoying the Great Wall and the scenery, returns to the original road to the No. 14 enemy building and takes the cable car down the mountain, and finally exits the scenic area from the north ticket gate. The western section of the Great Wall is the essence of the Mutianyu Great Wall. It has a gentle slope and a moderate length, which requires less physical strength for tourists. The Mutianyu Great Wall Cable Car uses a 360-degree enclosed carriage, allowing tourists to overlook the intoxicating scenery of the Mutianyu Great Wall from the cable car from an open perspective. The operation of the cable car is also relatively smooth, making it safe and stable for the elderly or children.

[How long does it take to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall?]

The Mutianyu Great Wall is the longest section of the Great Wall scenic area in my country. There are 20 enemy towers along the entire line, and several of them are continuous and magnificent. However, it is not practical for tourists to visit the 20 enemy towers, so it is still recommended that tourists choose one of the above three classic tour routes. Following these three routes, tourists need about 4-5 hours of sightseeing time, including time to rest, take photos and enjoy the scenery.

The Mutianyu Great Wall with pleasant scenery and complete facilities is a good choice for many tourists! However, in order to get the best sightseeing experience, it is recommended to make preparations in advance and guide transportation and routes to have a relaxing trip to the Great Wall!
