Great Wall of China Huairou District

Great Wall of China Huairou District

Ancient world wonder that winds for more than 5,500 miles across China, with towers & walkways. In Huairou, a suburban district 50 kilometers (31 miles) north from the downtown of Beijing, you can enjoy some of the most essential parts of the Great Wall of China, like the Mutianyu Great Wall, Jiankou Great Wall, Huanghuacheng Great Wall, and Xiangshuihu Great Wall. With easy access and incomparable sceneries, the Great Wall of China Huairou has won great popularity among tourists.

Among all the Great Wall of China Huairou, Mutianyu is the most famous. It is the existing longest section of the Great Wall. Looking from a distance, the awe-inspiring Mutianyu resembles a giant dragon winding on the mountain ridges. The watchtowers are densely distributed and you can see crenels every a few steps on both sides of the wall. In the Zhengguan Terrace, three hollow watchtowers are set next to each other, which is rarely seen elsewhere. With such special design, this is a perfect lookout tower. Soldiers can clearly see enemies no matter which direction they came from.

As Mutianyu Great Wall follows the mountain ridge, you can appreciate breath-taking mountain sceneries all year round. In spring, various wild flowers come into full blossom, forming a picturesque scene. In summer, the whole mountain is blanketed by greenness, very refreshing. Autumn witnesses the most gorgeous moment of the Mutianyu Great Wall, as it is surrounded by colorful leaves. The snow scene in winter is very awesome. You may want to appreciate the great architecture covered by snow quietly.
