On Saturday, August 29th, I joined an English tour with my mother and younger brother. We met at 10:00 AM at Dongzhimen Station, Exit C. After a roll call, we took a bus for 1.5 to 2 hours to the Mutianyu Great Wall. The guide, Mike, was very entertaining during the journey! It's important to note that the Klook tour fee does not include the entrance ticket to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Therefore, before arriving, the entrance fee will be collected separately on the bus. You can pay with cash, Alipay, or WeChat Pay. You can choose between the East Route or West Route (140 RMB per person), but it's often difficult to do both due to the long queues for the cable car, so it's best to choose only one. You will also be asked if you want to have the buffet lunch (80 RMB per person). Upon arrival after 12:00 PM, we were gathered at the Mubus tourist center, given our entrance tickets, and then had free time until 5:00 PM. I had the buffet, and it was delicious with a variety of dishes. I chose the East Route, which allows you to go up by cable car and down by toboggan, but the toboggan queue for the return was very long, so I ended up taking the cable car both ways. Near the Great Wall, there are several souvenir shops, and although slightly expensive, they also sell drinks and snacks. The stone steps of the Mutianyu Great Wall are much steeper than photos can convey. You won't understand until you see them in person. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring drinks. After meeting at the tourist center at 5:00 PM, we boarded the bus again and disbanded at the same Dongzhimen Station. The total cost for one person for the day was approximately 8,000 Japanese Yen, which includes the Klook tour fee, the Mutianyu Great Wall entrance fee (140 RMB), and the buffet (80 RMB). I initially planned to go by taxi, but Mutianyu is about 70 kilometers from the city center, so joining the tour turned out to be an excellent decision. Also, Mike, our guide, was very friendly and helpful. I'm glad I got to see the Great Wall with Mike as our guide. Thank you!
