airport layover

Question

How can i get transportation from the airport in beijing to the mutianyu part of the great wall. How long will it take to get back and forth? How much should it cost? Do i have to pay for a travel visa to leave the airport? Im from usa

Phoebe · Answer

The Mutianyu Great Wall is over 60 km (37 miles) from the airport. it could take as long as 4 - 5 hours by public bus. so i suggest that you book a one-day tour to the great wall. It takes 1.5 - 2 hours on the way, and at least 2 - 3 hours to climb the wall. so you need totally 7 hours for this trip. it costs about USD 200 for private tour for one person, the price can be lower if you have more people in your group. you don't need to pay the visa to leave the airport. but you need to declare to your airlines if you plan to use the 72-hour visa free stay.
