Mutianyu Great Wall

Teave

Kiired faktid: Climbing the stone steps, you can immediately feel the touch of the cold, hard stone surface and the low hum of the mountain wind in your ears. The changing height of the steps forces you to measure the rhythm with your footsteps. More than 20 beacon towers are arranged along the winding defense line. Looking at the rolling clouds and mist in the valley from afar, the depth of field and sense of layers are particularly strong when taking photos.

Esiletõstmised: As you walk up the stone steps to the 23rd beacon tower, you can smell the mixed aroma of pine needles and dead leaves. If you shift your position slightly, you can take in the entire valley and the curved line of the wall. Many people choose to descend by cable car or toboggan. While sliding down, you get a low-altitude view of the continuous, undulating brick wall and the dark forest belts. The sound of the wind rushing past your ears is more unforgettable than any picture.
