Check the weather before you book

we booked our trip a few weeks in advance so didn’t know the weather conditions, on arrival weather was good and we took the chairlift to the Great Wall which was good fun, as we accessed we could see people coming down in the tabogin this looked amazing , while we were on the wall storms moved in and all means of transport down were closed so we had to walk down which was fine but feel we should have been offered a partial refund as we couldn’t use our ticket to descend

Operator response

Dear smyler1984, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry unexpected bad weather spoiled your Mutianyu Great Wall visit. The scenic area is required to shut down all downhill cable and toboggan facilities during thunderstorms for safety reasons. This policy is out of our control, and we totally understand your frustration. Safety always comes first for all visitors. We have contacted the site to ask for a partial refund but still haven't got any response. And We will add weather reminders on our product page to remind future travellers about sudden weather shifts on the Great Wall. We hope we may have another opportunity to serve you with a smooth trip in China. Best Regards

A must do!!!

Go early! Super important to do this if you want a chance to enjoy this magnificent wonder. We arranged for a car to take us to and from, and it was honestly worth every yuan.

Operator response

Dear Heidi_B, Thank you so much for your lovely review about Mutianyu Great Wall! We totally agree that arriving early is highly recommended to fully appreciate this stunning landmark without crowds. It’s great to hear that hiring a private car for your round trip was such a worthwhile choice for your visit. We’re glad we could assist you with your Mutianyu Great Wall ticket booking. We hope you keep this wonderful memory and we look forward to helping you plan your next trip in China! Best Regards

Incredible visit to Mutianyu, magic section of China's Great Wall

Christina at Chins Travel Guide took amazing care with our booking arrangements. We originally booked the Simatai great wall section but our companion has a heart condition, so Christina helped us to change to Mutianyu and we weren't disappointed. Our preference was to hire a private car, our cable car and entry tickets were arranged by China Travel Guide. As independent travellers, we did find it tricky when booking for certain sites as some required a reservation, then registration 24 hours beforehand with a local phone number. China Travel Guide took the confusion away and it was a lot easier.

Operator response

Dear Lisav406, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Christina took such great care of your booking arrangements. We completely understand that travel plans can change, especially when health is a priority. We’re so glad Christina could quickly switch your itinerary from Simatai to the Mutianyu Great Wall to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for your companion. It’s also great to hear that the private car, cable car, and entry tickets worked out perfectly for you! As independent travelers, navigating reservation systems and local phone requirements can indeed be tricky. That’s exactly why we’re here—to take the confusion away so you can focus on enjoying the journey. Thank you for choosing Travel China Guide. We wish you both many more safe and memorable adventures! Warm regards,
