Mutianyu Great Wall

I think I experienced the best weather-day since living here on Friday, September 9. Lucky for us, our girls’ school had a day off for professional development (sorry, teachers…really, I am!). But for us, we were able to make an impromptu trip to Mutianyu when the weather – against the forecast of rain – turned out to be absolutely beautiful.

Starting Saturday 12 June The Schoolhouse is making it very easy for you to plan a day of fun and sun at Mutianyu Great Wall by providing you a roundtrip ride from Beijing on The School Bus. No hassle, no worries, no packing in the bus like sardines - just a smooth ride out to the fresh air and blue skies at Mutianyu.

For your convenience, they'll have two School Buses -- the first leaving at 9am, the second at 11.30am. Both School Buses will make a stop in downtown Beijing and then Shunyi before smooth sailing to The Schoolhouse front gate. Enjoy a stroll up to the Great Wall or explore the area on your own and hike hidden trails. What's more, all day-trippers will get a free pass for their School Bus shuttle, which will travel in and around Mutianyu throughout the day. Roundtrip School Bus tickets cost RMB 120.
