Beneath the ridges of Mutianyu, scarlet lanterns twinkle against the muted grey of the ancient Great Wall bricks. Breathe in, and the crisp mountain breeze mingles with the sweet aroma of candied hawthorns. The frosty stone paths crunch softly underfoot, as if greeting every visitor with a gentle whisper. This Spring Festival, Mutianyu Great Wall weaves winter's clarity with the warmth of Chinese New Year, offering a unique festive experience for travelers from all over the world.
1 Feel the Early Spring Calm of the Great Wall from the Heights
Take the cable car up to the Great Wall, and watch the frosted branches glistening with ice crystals and birds soaring in the blue sky unfold outside your window. Touch the wall bricks—chilled by winter yet bathed in warm sunlight. The mountain wind carries the faint scent of new grass, and thin frost still clings to the crevices of the bricks. Gaze into the distance at the mist-shrouded mountains and the winding Great Wall; only the wind whistling through the crenellations can be heard, like a quiet conversation between history and the new year.
2 Warmth & Sweetness on the Tip of the Tongue
*Available until March 3
Step down from the serene Great Wall to the lively food market, home to a host of popular snack stalls. The first scent to catch your breath in the cool air is the rich, caramelized sweetness of candied hawthorns— the star of the market. With a flick of the wrist, the chef drapes bright red hawthorn berries in a glistening coat of hot syrup, creating a transparent golden crust. The crisp, icy sweet flesh warms your heart and soul in an instant.
3 Joyful Laughter in the Mountain Breeze
*Available until February 23 (subject to weather conditions)
Four transparent ice slides stretch like silver ribbons across the landscape, standing in gentle contrast to the solemn Great Wall in the distance. The cold air nips at your skin as you approach, but it is instantly dispelled by the endless laughter of children. Hop on a slide, the wind roaring in your ears, the scenery blurring past your eyes. Your screams mix with the cheers of the crowd on the ice, and after the thrill, you'll be eager to line up for more.
The young participants of the Little Great Wall Ambassador PLUS Study Tour, fresh from their Great Wall exploration, all flock to the ice slides. Bundled up with thick gloves and rosy cheeks, the children put on their gear under the guidance of professional interpreters and join in the fun at once.
Exclusive perk for study tour participants: Sign up and form a group during the event to get a 30-minute free ice slide experience, making this history-filled thrill ride even more memorable.
From February 14 to 22, young ambassadors can also join folk craft workshops.
