Mutianyu Great Wall

The Mutianyu Great Wall, located in Mutianyu Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing, is 73 km from downtown Beijing and enjoys the reputation of "the most spectacular section of the Great Wall." Stretching 5,400 m, it is the longest section of the Great Wall in China and one of the sixteen major attractions in Beijing. Constructed in 1368 during the Ming Dynasty under the supervision of General Xu Da on the ruins of the Northern Qi Dynasty's Great Wall, the Mutianyu section represents the essence of the Ming-era Great Wall. It connects Gubeikou to the east and Juyong Pass to the west, serving as a crucial military stronghold for defending the capital throughout history. Notable features include Zhenguan Tower, Dajiao Tower, and the "Eagle Flies Backward" view. The wall remains well-preserved, showcasing its ancient charm, and holds profound historical and cultural significance. In 1987, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 2000, the Huairou District government designated it as a scenic area. On May 25, 2006, the Mutianyu Great Wall, along with other sections, was listed as part of the sixth batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council of China, while also being incorporated into the fifth batch—the Great Wall. In 2011, it was rated as a AAAAA-level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration.
