Early Start Tour: Avoid Crowds on Great Wall
With the growing popularity of Mutianyu, congestion has become a significant challenge for travelers. To ensure a high-quality experience and effectively avoid crowds on Great wall, we recommend a 7:30 AM departure from your Beijing hotel.
Departing at 7:30 AM helps you skip approximately 2 hours of queues and traffic.
While most tour groups start between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, our 30-minute head start allows you to bypass the worst of the morning traffic and the long lines for shuttle buses, ticket checks, and cable cars. Even the narrow access steps on the wall are much clearer for those who arrive early.
The time you save in the morning can be used to enjoy other Beijing highlights in the afternoon, such as the Sacred Way, the Summer Palace, or a peaceful stroll through local Hutongs and shopping streets near your hotel.
