Recommended Route
To make the most of your Mutianyu Night Tour, we recommend the following itinerary.

Enter the scenic area around 5:30 PM and head directly to the cable car station. In just four minutes, you’ll reach the Great Wall and enjoy beautiful sunset views before the lights come on.
Walk Between Watchtowers 10 and 12
This section offers some of the best lighting effects and is the most popular area for photos. The illuminated walls create an unforgettable atmosphere after dark.
Reach Watchtower 15
Watchtower 15 is the highest point open during the night tour and offers the best panoramic view of the illuminated Great Wall. It is also a famous filming location from the Chinese movie If You Are the One.
Return Before Closing
Walk back toward the cable car station while enjoying the night scenery. We recommend starting your return around 9:00 PM to avoid rushing before closing time.

Besides walking on the Great Wall, visitors can also enjoy seasonal evening activities.

What to Bring
- Power bank
- Mosquito repellent
- Drinking water

Photography Tips
Light-colored clothing looks great against the illuminated Great Wall. Arriving before sunset also gives you the chance to capture both golden-hour and night views in one visit.
