Like Badaling, it's a modern, crowded section of wall - chairlift or gondola can ferry visitors up, and a colorful slide can bring them down. Still, it's a great view that gets even better as the amusement park is left behind, and if you get there before 8am, you can even find some peace and quiet. 1 1/2 hours' drive from Beijing.
Car: From Sanyuan Qiao on Third Ring Road, take Jingshun Lu (which turns into National Road 101) to Huairou Qiao and turn towards Huairou, follow signs to Qingchunlu Roundabout and turn to Huaisha Lu, keep driving to Mutianyu roundabout and follow signs to the Great Wall.
Bus: Take tourist bus 6 at Xuanwumen directly to Mutianyu on weekends and national holidays. Or take bus 916/936 from Dongzhimen bus station to Huairou International Conference Center and change to minibus to Mutianyu (RMB 25-30).
