This vlog documents Travelshorts' family day trip to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China, starting with their early morning breakfast and subway ride to Dongzhimen Station to meet their Mubus tour guide, Leo. The journey to Mutianyu took about an hour and a half.
Leo provided detailed information on ticket options, including cable car and toboggan rides. Travelshorts opted for a combination of cable car and toboggan rides on both the south and north sections of the wall. The cost for all the options, including lunch and a memory-maker photo, was approximately 980 RMB.
Their experience on the Great Wall was filled with stunning views (despite some fog), steep climbs, and a few unexpected challenges like the toboggan being temporarily closed due to light rain. They made the most of their time, taking breaks, enjoying the scenery, and taking many pictures.
After their Great Wall adventure, they enjoyed a reasonably priced buffet lunch at the Mubus Family Centre. The afternoon was spent shopping on Wangfujing Street and exploring Qianmen Street, where they indulged in local street food, including lamb skewers and Tanghulu (candied strawberries). The day concluded with a return to their hotel, the Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel, leaving Travelshorts with unforgettable memories of their Great Wall experience.
Travelshorts provides practical information, including booking options through Mubus or Trip.com, cost breakdowns, and recommendations for food and activities. The vlog also offers viewers a glimpse into the family's dynamics and their interactions with locals, making it a personal and engaging travelogue.
Travelshorts' family embarks on a memorable Beijing adventure, experiencing the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China. Their journey with Mubus, a tour company, includes a scenic cable car ride, breathtaking (though sometimes foggy!) views, and a thrilling toboggan descent (weather permitting!). They savor a delicious buffet lunch and explore bustling Wangfujing street, indulging in local snacks. A delightful, unexpected twist involves a lucky draw with Great Wall prizes!
Travelshorts' family conquers the Mutianyu Great Wall, enjoying cable cars, stunning views, and a delicious lunch. A unique experience filled with adventure and family fun!
