.jpeg "Which Section Of The Great Wall Should You Visit? (Mutianyu Vs Simatai Vs Jinshanling)")
Below, we’ll compare these three famous sections of the Great Wall and help you decide which is best for your trip with a Beijing Private Driver.
Mutianyu: Best for Families and Convenience
Mutianyu Great Wall is a more crowded and better-accessed section, because of which it is ideal for families traveling with seniors, or people travelling with limited time. Huairou District is where it is situated in and from downtown Beijing, it would take around 2 to 2.5 hours to reach there. And why is it more convenient to access here? It is because of the cable cars, toboggans, and shuttle buses provided.
Mutianyu has nice scenery and rebuilt walls. It is the most harmonious fusion of natural scenery and ancient buildings. The wall is broad and well-paved here, so it is suitable for all ages. In spring, view the peach blossoms; in autumn, red and golden autumnal leaf color is lovely.
We will drop you at your hotel or airport, give you friendly transfers, and make it a breeze. Our Beijing personal car driver service is not sardine buses, not complicated transfers—just ease.
Simatai: Great for Adventure and Night View
Where is it located? Near the beautiful Gubei Water Town. Why is it famous? For its deep and dramatic climbs. Divided by the Mandarin Duck Lake, Simatai’s eastern section features 15 watchtowers and thrilling sights like the Heaven Bridge and Fairy Tower.
Simatai is the only part of the Wall that is open for tourists to walk inside at night, and therefore tourists get to walk on a breathtakingly illuminated Great Wall at night—a beautifully wonderful hellscape experience. With a visit to the picturesque Gubei Watertown, it's an experience worth cherishing until the end of time.
With our personal driver Beijing service, you don’t have to worry about long, confusing travel routes. We offer full-day Simatai and Gubei tours that include all tolls, petrol, and parking fees. Let us handle the navigation while you enjoy the sights.
Jinshanling: Best for Trekking and Photography
Jinshanling Great Wall is the perfect combination of old and restored wall. It's heaven for hikers, with panoramic viewpoints and less crowd. It's perfect for nature lovers and photo enthusiasts who wish to get the real Great Wall experience.
It is perhaps less commercialized, yet it gives the rocky terrain the towering spires and near-vertical ridges of centuries ago. Jinshanling is also bundled with a visit to Chengde, whose sights include the Qing dynasty's summer palace and the Buddhist monasteries.
