🇨🇳✨ **Visit the Great Wall of China, Mutianyu – a magnificence that you must see with your own eyes!**
📍 *Mutianyu Great Wall, Beijing*

One of the most memorable experiences in Beijing was visiting the “Great Wall of China” at **Mutianyu**. This section is quieter than the popular Badaling section, but it is still magnificent, beautiful, and full of natural atmosphere. 🌿

🚠 You can take the cable car to the top of the mountain conveniently, no need to walk far. It is perfect for those who want to enjoy the view comfortably. Or try the “Toboggan” to slide down, which is also very fun. 🎢

🧱 The highlight of Mutianyu is the well-restored wall, easy to walk, and the surrounding mountain view is very beautiful. Wherever you look, you will see the grandeur of architecture and nature. 🌄

📸 It is perfect for taking pictures, whether it is a corner on the wall or a panoramic view. Whether you come alone, as a couple, or as a family, it is great!

For anyone who has plans to visit Beijing Don't miss this place! \#The Great Wall of China #MutianyuGreatWall #BeijingTravel #China #GoodAtmosphere #TravelAbroad

📍 **Review of walking along the Great Wall of China, Mutianyu Section, East Section**
**Route: From Fort 6 ➡️ Up to Fort 1 (No.1 Watch Tower)**

Walking along the Great Wall of China at **Mutianyu** Section, East Section is one of the challenging but worthwhile routes. Suitable for those who love spectacular views and peace. (Not as crowded as the west side)

---

### 🚠 Start of the trip:

We took the **cable car** to **Tower 6**, which is the starting point of the climb to the east side.

### 🏯 The route from Tower 6 to Tower 1:

* This route is **quite steep** and has **high steps** that require quite a bit of leg strength.
* The view on both sides is a 360-degree green forest. The higher you walk, the clearer the panorama becomes.
* Along the way, you will pass various forts that are still in relatively good condition.
* The highlight is **Tower 1 (No.1 Watch Tower)**, which is the highest in this zone. You can see the mountain view as far as the eye can see.

---

### 💡 Tips for those who want to walk this route:

* You should bring drinking water because there are no shops along the way.
* Wear sneakers or sports shoes that are good for your ankles.
* Go in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is not too strong.

### 📸 Impressions:

* The atmosphere is quiet. Hear the sounds of nature
* Not many tourists, suitable for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle
* Get the full view and architecture of the Great Wall

---
**Summary:**
The route **Fortress 6 to Fortress 1 at Mutianyu East Section** is a challenging but beautiful walk. For those who like hiking, beautiful views, and want to experience the Great Wall in peace, highly recommended. 🌄🇨🇳

#Emotional Cafe
While walking around Marylebone Village, Christmas decorations caught my eye. It was quite crowded when I went, but the sale did not disappoint. It made me feel confident that everyone would be served. It just took a while. The lovely chocolates and macarons were a plus! They were really great and luxurious for the price, so my family really liked them! Among the chocolates, I really liked the praline and decobuerte. The packaging and cute bag! Even the box! I even bought an advent calendar for the Christmas collection.
The atmosphere was good, but it was a shame that there was no music. The display was pretty and clean. And the outside seating area was small, but it was okay.

Thank you to the staff/sales staff who were very friendly, approachable, and helpful. I don't know their names, but I could feel how much effort they put into this job.

Spring (March to April) is a great time to visit Beijing. The weather is mild, but it can still be windy and chilly, so pack a jacket and comfortable shoes. Visit famous spots like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Gubei Water Town, and Temple of Heaven when flowers start blooming. Don’t miss parks like Jingshan and Beihai for spring blossoms. Going to parks will give you wonderful experience, since parks in Beijing mostly are free entry (or the tix can be super cheap) and you can find the friendliness of locals.

Try local spring dishes like spring pancakes. Avoid public holidays like Qingming Festival, as attractions can be crowded. Book hotels and tickets early for better prices and convenience. Enjoy Beijing’s spring charm!

Beijing with a tight schedule

Perfect score: ⭐️5

Really luxurious taste using Ashleigh butter

Slightly similar to Hong Kong bakehouse

Not only egg tarts, but also other desserts and black sesame ice cream

And they also sell milk tea
●Tha Bake Shop ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a shop that makes sourdough bread
It's located in a Hutong alley and it's hard to find because there's no sign
They sell bread on the 1st floor

If you go up to the 3rd floor, There is a dining area and you can also order sandwiches and coffee
●BUTTERFUL&CREAMOROUS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A very hot bakery these days

The atmosphere of the store is awesome

I got a chocolate pretzel

The taste is not bad and it is exactly what I imagined
But the reason I gave it ⭐️4 is because I have to try all the hot things~~
And there are many kinds of bread so it is easy to choose

●Holiland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The national bakery

For us, at least for me, the breads I have been eating since I was little
