Mutianyu Great Wall and the Ming Tombs are in two opposite directions. It is inconvenient to travel between them. You need to make several transfers. From Ming Tombs, you can take bus 314 to Changping East and transfer to bus 947 to Niulanshan Daokou, then take vys 936 branch to Mutianyu. The whole journey is about 2~2.5 hours.

Thank you for your response!!!

From googlemaps, it seems that Ming Tombs can be on the way to Mutianyu. From a Travel website, a one day tour of Ming Tombs & Mutianyu is possible. I just want to be able to go on my own and not depend on a tour though. There must be buses going to Mutianyu from the Ming Tombs. Maybe it's easier to go by bus from Mutianyu to Ming Tombs in Changping (after we experience Mutianyu Great Wall first)?

This is the tour advertised:

"In the morning, Your tour guide will meet you at your hotel at 8:00am.
Take about 1.5 hours (79 kilometers) to drive to the Mutianyu Great wall in private vehicle. Mutianyu section winds along lofty, cragged mountains from the southeast to the northwest for about 2.25 kilometers, enjoy the most beautiful Great Wall with the best way: take the cable car up to Fortress No.14, free hiking for 2 hours, then take cable car back to entrance. (You could also choose the favorite toboggan slide down from No.6 Fortress).

Have a Chinese lunch around 12:00am-1:00pm.

Then drive to the sacred Ming Tombs (about 1 hour). thirteen of sixteen Ming Emperors were buried in this royal necropolis. You'll explore the largest and only tomb that has been excavated - Dingling Tomb, which is divided into 3 separate impressive courtyards, discovery of the entrance to the 27 meter deep underground chamber is interesting and unforgettable experience.
After day tour, transfer back to your hotel at Afternoon."

Again, thank you for your input.
