[quote=ANGEL ,979]It took us around 3 hours to get to Mutianyu by bus from downtown (under normal traffic condition). Although the city has built many roads, the traffic is not very satisfying. Do prepare for a early start to avoid the terrible traffic jam in peaks.You can take a No. 6 Tourist Bus at the following stops and get to the Mutianyu Scenic Spot. Stop Location Departure Time Xuan Wu Men Northeast corner at Xuan Wu Men Crossroad 6: 30-10: 30 Dong Si Shi Tiao The north-west entrance of the subway 6: 30-9: 00 An Ding Men the south-west entrance of the subway 6: 30-9: 00 And No. 919 also reach it.Better to get on your reture bus before 16:00.Usually bringing kids is not a problem. I met a couple with five kids aging from 2 to 11 when I was on the Mutianyu section last nov. However, try to avoid the crowds in the peak season from May 1 to May 7. One tip for you: at the starting point of the steps on the wall, the section on your left is more falt while the right physically demanding. Wear comfortabel shoes.I am not sure about the temperature but the average in Bejing's May is 3 C to 11 C. It is windy on top of the wall. Bring wind-proof clothes.Another tip also from my own experience is that the dining is a little problem. Although several small restaurant, but the food can not be very delicious.[/quote]
