Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou District, Beijing, China. It is at the junction of the North China Plain and the Yanshan Mountains, about 70 kilometers away from the center of Beijing. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive there. The Mutianyu Great Wall has a long history and unique landscapes. It is the essence of the Great Wall and is renowned as "Mutianyu stands out among the Great Walls of Ten Thousand Miles". The Mutianyu Great Wall is 5,400 meters long and is currently the longest section of the Great Wall in China. Here lies the unique Zhengguan Platform, with three watchtowers standing side by side on one, which is quite rare on the Great Wall. The watchtowers of the Great Wall are densely packed, with one every 100 meters or so. There are also perilous landscapes such as "Ox Horn Edge" and "Eagle Flying Upside Down". There are battlements on both sides of the Great Wall. The wall is well-preserved and well reflects the ancient charm of the Great Wall.

5.00I feel blessed and fortunate; there's no other way to describe choosing this tour. With more time, I'm sure I would have seen more of Beijing with the Linda's Guide team. Angie was my guide, and I want to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate you on the passion you bring to your work. It wasn't just about having someone to accompany me on the tour; it was about having someone knowledgeable about the history of her country and the places we visited! Thank you so much!
Amazing experience!

Our tour guide, Jessica, was also very nice and gave us a very good tour around the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. She was helpful every step of the way and made the experience very memorable and fun.

5.00Linda & her team jessica & drivers were excellent throughout. Reliable on time and friendly. They helped with translations booking tickets on chinese websites remotely in advance or when we were with them using Alipay. It made our while stay relaxing, luxurious in the vehicles provided and informative with the tours. I’d recommend to friends travelling to connect with Linda to organise their trip.
