Great Wall Of China - Mutianyu SegmentExplore > China > Beijing > Great Wall Of China - Mutianyu Segment
OverviewEscape the crowds of the Great Wall with this hand picked spot. As usual, we sought out an area that was not loaded with people. You are there to inhale the feeling of what it was like to build this and it is tough with crowds around you. Synonymous with China and visible from space the Great Wall goes down as one of the greatest wonders of the world and is a must see during your time in Beijing. Winding up and down a variety of ecosystems from mountains to deserts you will be amazed by the enormity of this project that is an interesting commentary on the growth of humanity. With a history over 2,000 years and stretching over 5,000 miles, this architectural phenomenon will leave you frozen with amazement. The estimated human cost of this project is over 100,000 deaths and was under construction from the Warring States Period (476 BC) to the Ming Dynasty (1644). Your driver and guide will accompany you to a segment of the wall that gets you away from the endless crowds and provides an opportunity to reflect on the enormity of this historic site.
