When getting to the top, where there is a famous tower called Zhengbeilou, you will be shocked by the view in front of you. The mountains seem to be unconquerable and you cannot imagine how the ancient Chinese people managed to finish this great project.
After taking some photos at Zhengbeilou, we will head for the direction of Mutianyu section of Great Wall, which was restored in the early 1980s. It takes about two hours to walk on the old and wild wall before reaching the restored part. Then the walk will be much easier, as you will go always down. At the end of your hike today you may take the cable car, toboggan or walk down, of which taking the toboggan is a lot of fun and is highly recommended. When meeting the driver at the parking lot, you will go back directly to your hotel in Beijing.
