Who here has also hiked the Great Wall in the blazing summer heat? 🙋🏻♀️ We decided to go on a spontaneous adventure and found ourselves gliding up to the wall in a frightening chairlift, leaping up the stairs of the Mutianyu section, marvelling at the lush greenery surrounding us, taking shelter in the watch towers to inhale our water supply before tobogganing back down again 1.5 hours later 🌠 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 📍The Great Wall of China, Beijing⠀ #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer

Rather than hiking and being touristy, 长城 (Great Wall) can also be fun. And the Mutianyu section gave exactly that to us. So this time we decided to take on a jolly ride than stretching too much. To go up the Great Wall we took the rope car, and what's fun in it is; not a closed one. Also when we are about to board the rope car, it doesn't stop and take the passengers; it keeps moving on. You have to jump into it and soon after that, it takes flight to the top of Great Wall haha. On the top, we went to the sightseeing lens that let you see for 10¥/min. Later on our way down, we took the Toboggan ride which is the super fun part of it. Yes, all you have is a lever that let you control the brake; otherwise it's a gravitational slide 😂 Also in Mutianyu you have the helicopter ride, which is a bit expensive (obviously); but worth it for once in a lifetime flying over the Great Wall. The day 2 we embarked on a spiritual journey, that led us to the Lama temple and the Confucius temple. It felt so divine in the morning and as it is early spring; the birds and freshly grown leaves in the trees gave a different level of experience. As always in Beijing, the last day of the trip is food exploration (including Peking duck) and we did some shopping in the Wangfujing street. In the evening we went to a Russian ballet show, and as always magical. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #greatwall #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

During a spontaneous weekend away, we found ourselves gliding up the Great Wall in a chairlift, leaping up the stairs of the Mutianyu section of the great wall, marvelling at the lsuh greenery surrounding this wonder of the world, before toboganning back down again 2 hours later. A weekend hiking up and along the wall always makes for a fun, adventure-filled weekend, and it's amazing to think that this incredible part of China's history and culture is mere hours away from Shanghai by train. In addition to an afternoon hike, we filled our weekend with other architectural wonders that can be found in Beijing - Temple of Heaven, Ming Tombs, Summer Palace - as a well as a spot of art and culture with with an opera performance.

Our trip to Beijing started off at the Mutianyu Great Wall entrance! we were surprised that it actually wasn’t the horror story of crowds that everyone talks about when visiting the Great Wall! We had room to breeze our way through and views for days (partly due to the fact that no one wants to travel to China during the pandemic...). I highly suggest booking MuBus Family Tours to get you out to the wall, they will take care of everything and give you an amazing experience. #awesomepic #travelinspiration #springholiday #china #girlstrip #octoberfestival #tripaway
