Souvenir Hunting: Savor the Moment
Upon arriving at the service area square, there's no need to rush straight to the Wall. Step into our in-house cultural souvenir shop and pick out Qixi-exclusive romantic treasures. Enjoy 20% off on three Qixi-special items. Take home this unique Qixi keepsake from the Great Wall and fill your date with romance and ceremony—let your beloved be surprised from the moment they arrive.
01 "Wall Short, Love Long" Couple Rings
The rings ingeniously incorporate the double-crenellation wall design, as if sealing the Great Wall's protective power within. They symbolize that you, a match made in heaven, will henceforth be guarded by this rock-solid protection. Each pair bears a unique serial number, just as every love story is one of a kind.
02 "Great Wall Union Seal" Necklace
Crafted with lapis lazuli and rose quartz, each engraved with the Chinese character "xi" (joy), set in 925 silver in the shape of a seal. Comes with a nylon cord; couples can wear the pieces separately, symbolizing a union blessed and witnessed by the Great Wall.
03 Hand-painted Heart-shaped Couple Cups
Featuring the Great Wall as the theme with a Starry Night–inspired art style. The two cups can be separated and joined to form a complete heart, blending the grandeur of the Great Wall's landscapes with romantic sentiment. Both practical drinkware and a story-rich Great Wall souvenir.
Chase the Sunset, Embark on a Starry Night Tour
Take the cable car slowly upward, and the view opens up before you. Mutianyu, shrouded in twilight, sheds the daytime heat and takes on a gentle warmth. As night falls, the Starlight Great Wall is officially illuminated—light strips trace the Wall's winding silhouette, making the ancient structure mysterious and romantic in the dark.
Stroll along the prime stretch from No.10-15 Watchtowers, where the thousand-year-old wall meets the vast starry sky. Spectacular performances take the stage one after another:
18:30 Chinese Martial Arts Demonstration · Hard Qigong
19:30 Peaceful Land · Qi Jiguang's Army
Flag formations and martial dance interweave with light and shadow effects, letting you feel the patriotic spirit of Qi Jiguang's Army guarding the frontier and adding profound depth to this romantic night.
Families with children won't want to miss the stargazing workshop. Professional instructors guide children up the Great Wall to observe stars, identify constellations, and learn about the Wall's history—turning the night tour into a vivid, immersive science class. Children who successfully join a group on Qixi day will also receive a Great Wall-themed sketch as a cherished memory of the mountains.
