Great Wall of China hiking from Jiankou to Mutianyu
Hiking from the most photographed Jiankou (Zhengbeikou) to the fully restored Mutianyu is a popular Great Wall hiking route. As an unrestored section, Jiankou Great Wall remains half ruined, wild and untouched. It has a wild beauty and ruggedness that cannot be described unless you visit it. Mutianyu is more tourist friendly, fully restored, with excellent facilities like cable car, toboggan, chairlift. Hiking the Great Wall of China from Jiankou to Mutianyu is an unforgettable experience. One of the benefits of hiking from Jiankou to Mutianyu is that you do not need to go down the same way you went up.

Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall - Hiking in Autumn
Jiankou Great Wall is also called the Wild Great Wall as it is completely natural and unrestored. Shrubs and trees grow on it at many places. Some sections are dangerous and steep with loose and broken bricks. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful and is the most photographed.
We spent 2 days here. The 1st day was spent attempting to climb Arrow Notch and recce Sky Stairs and Eagles Fly Facing Upwards. Our attempts failed as we were not physically fit enough. The 2nd day was spent hiking from Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall. We lost 3 precious hours before we even reached the wall as we took a wrong turn near the start point. This journey is 10 kilometres of hilly terrain. We reached the entrance of Mutianyu at 8pm under the moonlight.
This Autumn Hike took us to:
Part 1 - Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall
Part 2 - Huanghuacheng Great Wall
Part 3 - Badaling Great Wall
Soundtrack - Endless Love (美丽的神话)

Great Wall of China – BEST section to visit - Jian Kou to Mutianyu
I’ve been to the Great Wall of China a handful of times over the last decade and visiting Jian Kou was my favourite experience by far. The Badaling and Mutianyu sections are the more popular choices for tourists understandably because they are easier to get to. I find Badaling is too packed full of tourists but Mutianyu is beautiful and the section I would recommend to visit. That was before I went to Jian Kou. There are signs saying this is not opened to the public but we went on a recommendation. If you’re looking for a great experience at the Wall, you have to visit Jiankou! It is not as polished as the other sections and can be dangerous but if you’re careful and go slowly, you should be ok. We were! We started at Jian Kou and hiked for around 4-6 hours (we lost count and stopped a lot to take photos and enjoy the scenery). This is what to expect:
00:53 The car ride to the Great Wall
01:44 The hike from Jian Kou begins
01:57 We’re not sure where to go
02:56 We work out where to go
03:21 We reach the Great Wall
05:04 The hike continues
06:21 Climbing up Ox Horn, the most challenging part of Jian Kou
08:50 Ox Horn Conquered. We make it to the top
09:06 Now we have to climb down, the hard part
10:23 The Ox Horn Shortcut
10:55 So many bugs
11:26 There’s not many people at this part of the Wall
12:29 The best views from Jian Kou
13:45 We make it to Mutianyu
15:09 The Praying Mantis of Mutianyu
15:54 Sunset at Mutianyu
16:04 Catching the Cable car down
18:07 “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man”
As a reference, we used the Beijing Walking Tours travel tips of what to expect for the hike.
There were some surprises that we didn’t expect but it was a very helpful guide to understand if you’re on the right track and what to expect.

I took it from China Highlight (There may be more operators). You may not just get in without a guide as there is a sign that says it is not open to public. Note that in my tour the ladder was removed by the locals who did bot get payed for the service. Our Guide found way to go up anyway.

From Jiankou Great Wall to Mutianyu
In the outskirts of Beijing, it's possible to hike from the old, wild Great Wall to the newer, tourist friendly section. Starting out at Jiankou (剪口), you can see how the Wall was when it was built hundreds of years ago. After a few hours of hiking on the rugged terrain, you arrive at Mutianyu (慕田峪), which makes for a much easier walk and provides stunning views of the surrounding countryside. If your feet are too tired to hike back down, just hop on the cable car or zoom down in a toboggan!

Jiankou to Mutianyu Hike 2019
Jiankou to Mutianyu hiking tour with the best tour guide from Beijing
Great Wall of China - Best Scenery Mutianyu
The Great Wall. Huairou District, China.
We left Beijing in the early morning to reach the Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the best preserved sections.The other famous options are Badaling which is usually a lot more crowded and Jinshanling which is farther and the area was under reconstruction when we visited China.
In Beijing we booked a private transfer to the Great Wall and the service was excellent. I can highly recommend Mark’s Guide & Driver Service. The trip by car was around one hour and a half since there wasn't a lot of traffic.
We bought the tickets for the entrance, the cableway (chair lift) to reach the Great Wall and the Toboggan Run (Slideway / Luge) to come back and we paid around 160 CNY for each person.
The cable car took us near the tower N.4 and we first headed east towards the tower N.1 the Big Corner. After that we went back and we headed west until we reached the last tower N.23 of the Mutianyu Great Wall section. Besides that tower, you'll find a section of the wild Jiankou Great Wall that hasn't been restored. The view and the panorama were amazing, stunning, breathtaking! It was the best scenery with a clear sky and orange, yellow, green leaves and trees!
On the way back we took the Slideway / Luge. The Toboggan Run was fun but since it was crowded unfortunatly it wasn't possible to go down at full speed.
Eventually our driver took us back to Beijing.
If you want to save money, you can also choose to reach the Mutianyu Great Wall using the public transports.
We visited the Great Wall in October, which is one of the best time along with April, May and September.

* **One or two stops before Bed Da Jie, someone will stick their head in the bus and yell Mutianyu Great Wall and wave you out. Do not pay attention to the scammers. The will overcharge you to take you there.***
- At Bei Da Die, cross the street to take bus H23 or H24 (5RMB). The ride will be about 15-20 minutes.

The Great Wall of China: Hiking & Camping!
The two days we spent exploring remote portions of The Great Wall were some of the most awe-inspiring, challenging and beautiful days of our 21 days in China! We started day one on the Jiankou portion of the wall and then to the Huanghuacheng that night. We hiked in the dark and set up a tent to camp on the wall, waking up the next morning to gorgeous songs of bugs and wind passing through the mist the next morning. After packing up the camp site, we hiked the Huanghuacheng section for the rest of the day. I highly recommend visiting these gorgeous pieces of the wall and experiencing history far from tourists. It's truly unforgettable.
