Visiting the Great Wall of China was undoubtedly the most anticipated moment of my trip. I chose the Mutianyu section based on recommendations from several travelers, and I have no regrets.
To get there, I used transportation in Beijing, combining the subway and a tourist bus. The climb is challenging, but there’s a cable car for those who prefer it. From the top, the views justify any effort.
An important detail: if you’re going to travel to Beijing during peak season, start early. The Great Wall of China gets crowded from noon onwards, and the experience changes significantly.
