What you should know
Four tourist sections of the Wall are accessible from Beijing. The two most popular areas are Badaling and Mutianyu. Mutianyu is the furthest from Beijing.

Mutianyu is quite far from Beijing, about 70km as the crow flies. It can take almost two hours to get there, depending on traffic. Once you get out of Beijing, the rural roads can be covered very quickly. It’s a pretty nice contrast to see what rural China looks like
