“What a fantastic trip to Mutianyu Great Wall! The weather was beautiful, making our visit even more enjoyable. We walked both the eastern and western sections, which were breathtakingly beautiful. Riding the cable car and sliding down on the toboggan were absolute highlights—so much fun! Our guide Amelia was professional and knowledgeable. She gave wonderful explanations about the history of Beijing and the Great Wall in fluent, easy-to-understand English. She also helped us with ticket purchases and guided us throughout the trip, saving us a lot of time. The food in Mubus Family was tasty and satisfying. The whole tour was well-arranged and stress-free. We truly had a great time…”
