[quote=BAKUI,407427]There are many farm houses to live in at the foot of Great Wall and no need to book in advance.
For the interesting sections, I prefer Mutianyu personally, for there are fewer tourists there and it will not be that crowded as in Badaling. But Badaling is the most famous section and receives most tourists every year. You make the decision.

From airport to Badaling: 
1. Airport Express Train (rmb25) to Dongzhimen Station, then change to Subway Line 2 (rmb2) to Jishuitan Station, walk to Deshengmen Gate and take bus no.919（大站快车）, or bus no.919 (直达) (rmb12 by cash and rmb4.8 by transportation card) to Badaling Great Wall. 
2. Airport Express Train and get off at Dongzhimen Station, change to Subway Line 2 and get off at Xizhimen Station, walk to Beijing North Railway Station and take a train (depart at 0933 and 1319, duration time is about an hour) to Badaling. The first class ticket is rmb23 and the second class is rmb19.
3. Some other things: Although the bus no.919 leaves every 5 minutes, but the traffic jams happen a lot recently on Badaling highway. But if you by train, another thing is that the ticket may be sold out when you will be there.

From airport to Mutianyu:
1.	Airport Express Train to Dongzhimen, then Tour Bus No.936 (depart at 0700 and 0800 in the week and 0700, 0800 and 0900 on weekends). Ticket is rmb16 by cash and rmb 6.4 by using Transportation Card. There may be traffic jams on weekends, but it’s much better than on the Badaling highway. 
2.	Or you can also take one of the Buses No.916 or 936 at Dongzhimen to Huairou Bus Station. Get off at Huairou Beida Street or Huairou Bus Station and then hire a local car (rmb30-40) to Mutianyu.
