Planning to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall? Understanding the different ticket options before your trip will save you time and help you enjoy one of China’s most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites without unnecessary hassle.
Mutianyu Great Wall tickets, including entrance tickets, shuttle buses, cable cars, chairlifts, toboggan rides, opening hours, passport requirements, online booking, ticket prices, and free cancellation policies.
Explore the quieter western section of the Mutianyu Great Wall with a round-trip cable car ride. This route is less crowded, allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking scenery in a more peaceful atmosphere.
Explore the eastern section of the Mutianyu Great Wall by chairlift and toboggan. Please note that the chairlift and toboggan often have long queues during the summer peak season. We recommend taking the chairlift up to Watchtower 6, hiking along the Wall to Watchtower 20, then returning to Watchtower 6 to enjoy the exciting toboggan ride back down.
You don’t need to meet anyone at the Great Wall.
You can enter by yourself from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
We recommend leaving at 6:30–7:00 AM to avoid long queues.
No, you can’t. Your ticket is for the chairlift up and the toboggan down. Chairlift and toboggan slide tickets cannot be used for the cable car.
No. The toboggan slide does not operate on rainy or snowy days. In such weather, visitors must take the chairlift down.
People over 60 are not allowed to use the slide; please take the chairlift down instead.
The best way to get to the Great Wall is to book a car with a driver online, which costs around 700 CNY for a round trip. You can also take a Didi, but it can sometimes be difficult to find a return ride from the Wall.”
