northern China. However, most travelers visit it from Beijing, as several of the most accessible sections are relatively close to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Mapa-de-la-Muralla-China.webp\" alt=\"Mapa de la Muralla China\" class=\"wp-image-44054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Mapa-de-la-Muralla-China.webp 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Mapa-de-la-Muralla-China-498x400.webp 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption translation-block\">Map of the Chinese Wall.

Depending on your mode of transport, the journey usually takes between 1.5 and 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the best located areas for a day trip, with good road access and options for both public and private transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides Mutianyu, there are other sections relatively close to Beijing such as Badaling, Jinshanling, and Jiankou, each with its own characteristics. But in terms of location and ease of access, Mutianyu is one of the most convenient without being as overcrowded as others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile caja-custom\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/itinerario-de-un-mes-en-china\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_yangshuo05-800x450.webp\" alt=\"Campos de arrozales en Yangshuo\" class=\"wp-image-43505 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_yangshuo05-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_yangshuo05-600x337.webp 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_yangshuo05-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_yangshuo05.webp 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/itinerario-de-un-mes-en-china\/\">One month itinerary in China<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuando_y_como_fue_construida_la_Muralla_China\"><\/span>When and how was the Great Wall of China built?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Great Wall of China was not built all at once, but is the result of different stages over more than 2,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest sections date back several centuries before Christ, when various kingdoms built walls to defend their territories. Later, during the Qin dynasty (around the 3rd century BC), many of these sections were unified.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Muralla-China-en-la-antiguedad-693x800.webp\" alt=\"Muralla China en la antiguedad\" class=\"wp-image-44055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Muralla-China-en-la-antiguedad-693x800.webp 693w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Muralla-China-en-la-antiguedad-346x400.webp 346w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Muralla-China-en-la-antiguedad.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption translation-block\">Chinese wall in ancient times.

Brick and stone were used during this period, giving it the more solid and recognizable form it has today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for its construction, it was an enormous undertaking carried out under quite harsh conditions. Soldiers, peasants, and prisoners all participated, transporting materials by hand across mountainous terrain. More than a continuous wall, it is actually a defensive system with watchtowers, strategic passes, and fortifications adapted to the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile caja-custom\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/guia-para-viajar-a-china\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie05-800x450.webp\" alt=\"Parque de Zhanjiajie\" class=\"wp-image-43507 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie05-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie05-600x337.webp 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie05-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie05.webp 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/guia-para-viajar-a-china\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"43406\">Guide to traveling to China<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQue_secciones_de_la_Muralla_China_se_pueden_visitar\"><\/span>Which sections of the Great Wall of China can be visited?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned before, the Great Wall of China isn't a single point; there are several sections open to tourists, especially around Beijing. The difference between them lies in how restored they are, the number of visitors, and how difficult they are to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The most well-known is <strong>Badaling<\/strong>. It's the closest and most accessible, which is why it's also the most touristy. It's completely restored, has a cable car and all the amenities, but it's usually very crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Another very popular option is <strong>Mutianyu<\/strong>, which is the one I chose. It's also well-restored, but it's usually less crowded than Badaling. Plus, it has great views and practical options like a cable car or even a toboggan run down.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla04.jpg\" alt=\"Gran Muralla China seccion Mutianyu\" class=\"wp-image-44056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla04.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla04-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla04-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Great Wall of China, Mutianyu section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you're looking for something a little more authentic, <strong>Jinshanling<\/strong> is a great alternative. It combines restored sections with more original ones, and is quite popular for trekking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Finally, for the more adventurous, there's <strong>Jiankou<\/strong>.

You can take a train from Beijing North Station (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/PBEbg5SM1kThJ3L68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see on map<\/a>) which takes you directly to Badaling (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/LkbWrej8fZxqC8d79\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see location<\/a>) in approximately 20-30 minutes. It's advisable to buy tickets in advance, as demand is high and they sell out quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you leave Badaling station, you'll see a bus parking area on a slope. From there, you have two main ways to get up: cable cars go up the hill, and \"ground cars,\" which are like larger cabins that also operate by cable, go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets are purchased separately: one for access to the city walls and another if you wish to use these modes of transport. Both can be purchased directly at the ticket offices on site; advance booking is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to book a tour or go by private car, which is quite common if you want to avoid complications. In all cases, it's a day trip that can easily be done.<\/p>\n\n\n    <script async defer src=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/dist\/pa.umd.production.min.js\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"KYT1QML\"><\/script>\r\n    <div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activities.frame\" \r\n                          data-gyg-tour-ids=\"725093\"\r\n                          data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\"\r\n        data-gyg-currency=\"USD\"\r\n        data-gyg-widget=\"activities\" \r\n        data-gyg-number-of-items=\"1\" \r\n        data-gyg-cmp=\"gran_muralla_badaling\" \r\n        data-gyg-partner-id=\"KYT1QML\">\r\n            <span>Powered by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/badaling-great-wall-l4272\/\">GetYourGuide<\/a><\/span>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Precios_y_horarios_de_Badaling\"><\/span>Badaling prices and schedules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For Badaling, the entrance fee is around <strong>40 RMB<\/strong>, and the means of going up (cable car or cable car) also cost between <strong>80 and 120 RMB<\/strong> per leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The opening hours are usually a little longer than in other sections, generally from <strong>7:30 until 17:30 or 18:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">You can check the latest news about prices and schedules on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.mutianyugreatwall.com\/reservation-center\/tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Badaling official website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile caja-custom\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/zhangjiajie-guia-para-visitar-el-parque-avatar-en-china\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie23.jpg\" alt=\"La mejor vista del Parque Avatar, en Halleluya Mountain - Zhangjiajie\" class=\"wp-image-43742 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie23.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie23-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/blog_zhanjiajie23-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/zhangjiajie-guia-para-visitar-el-parque-avatar-en-china\/\">Zhangjiajie, guide to visiting Avatar Park in China<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"92\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner-divisorio-china.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner-divisorio-china.webp 1199w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner-divisorio-china-600x46.webp 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner-divisorio-china-800x61.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitar_la_Gran_Muralla_China_desde_la_seccion_Mutianyu_mi_experiencia\"><\/span>Visiting the Great Wall of China from the Mutianyu section, my experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to visit the Mutianyu section, and overall I thought it was a very good option for a first-timer.

From there, instead of continuing on to Mutianyu, you need to take a taxi or local transport to one of the access points (such as Xizhazi or Jiankou village). The total journey also takes around two hours or a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a much less organized visit; there's no tourist infrastructure like in other sections, and in many cases it's combined with hikes to nearby areas like Mutianyu. Ideal if you're looking for something more adventurous and off the beaten track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mejor_epoca_para_visitar_la_Muralla_China\"><\/span>Best time to visit the Great Wall of China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The Great Wall of China can be visited year-round. In general, <strong>spring (April\u2013May)<\/strong> and <strong>autumn (September\u2013October)<\/strong> are the best times. The weather is milder, there is less humidity, and the scenery is at its most beautiful, especially in autumn with the vibrant colors of the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla06-450x800.jpg\" alt=\"Un tramo de la Muralla China Secci\u00f3n Mutianyu\" class=\"wp-image-44058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla06-450x800.jpg 450w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla06-225x400.jpg 225w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla06.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A section of the Great Wall of China, Mutianyu section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Summer (June\u2013August)<\/strong> is also an option, but it can be quite hot and humid, as well as being peak season, which means more people in sections closer to Beijing such as Mutianyu or Badaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <strong>winter (November\u2013March)<\/strong> has its interesting side, with fewer tourists and landscapes that, if you're lucky, might be snow-covered. But you also need to be prepared for the cold, the wind, and potentially slippery areas, which can make your visit a bit more uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pensamiento_finales_sobre_mi_visita_a_la_Gran_Muralla_China\"><\/span>Final thoughts on my visit to the Great Wall of China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting the Great Wall of China is undoubtedly a must if you're in Beijing. It lives up to expectations: it's imposing, easy to visit, and steeped in history.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla07-450x800.jpg\" alt=\"Contento de haber conocido la Muralla China\" class=\"wp-image-44064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla07-450x800.jpg 450w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla07-225x400.jpg 225w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blog_muralla07.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Glad to have visited the Great Wall of China<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, if I were to return a second time, I would probably try to go to a less crowded section. Even in places like Mutianyu, where there are supposed to be fewer people than in other parts, there's still quite a lot of activity, and that sometimes takes away a bit of the magic of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">And, on a personal level, it wasn't the modern wonder that impressed me the most. I think places like <a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/petra-una-de-las-7-maravillas-del-mundo-moderno\/\" id=\"12033\" target=\"_self\">Petra<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/como-llegar-a-machu-pichu-de-forma-economica-y-sin-caminar-tanto\/\" id=\"3248\" target=\"_self\">Machu Picchu<\/a> impressed me much more. But that doesn't diminish its merit; the wall remains a gigantic work, unique in the world and totally worthy of admiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preguntas_frecuentes_sobre_visitar_la_Muralla_China\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions about visiting the Great Wall of China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCual_es_la_mejor_seccion_para_visitar\"><\/span>Which is the best section to visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on what you're looking for. Mutianyu is one of the most balanced (accessible and not too crowded), Badaling is the easiest but also the most touristy, and options like Jinshanling or Jiankou are more for those looking for something different or more adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSe_puede_visitar_por_libre_o_conviene_tour\"><\/span>Can you visit independently or is a tour recommended?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's perfectly possible to do it independently from Beijing using the subway and bus. Tours or private cars are more convenient, but not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuanto_tiempo_necesito\"><\/span>How much time do I need?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a half-day to full-day excursion. Between the trip and the visit, you should normally dedicate at least half a day, although if you enjoy walking you could spend several hours exploring the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_muy_dificil_caminarla\"><\/span>Is it very difficult to walk it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are sections with many stairs and slopes, but overall it's not technically difficult. The important thing is to wear comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFHay_mucha_gente\"><\/span>Are there many people?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, in almost all the more accessible sections. Even Mutianyu is usually quite crowded, though not as much as Badaling. If you want to avoid crowds, it's best to go early or choose less popular sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFLa_Muralla_China_se_construyo_para_frenar_a_los_mongoles\"><\/span>Was the Great Wall of China built to stop the Mongols?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, one of the main objectives of the Great Wall of China was to defend Chinese territory from invasions from the north, especially from nomadic peoples such as the Mongols.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Si hay algo que a todos nos viene a la cabeza cuando pensamos en viajar a China, es visitar la Gran Muralla China, una de las siete maravillas del mundo&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[117,259],"tags":[281,212,270,272],"class_list":["post-44041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia","category-china","tag-asia-oriental","tag-maravilla-moderna","tag-ruta-de-la-seda","tag-silk-road"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
