Planning to go Mutianyu tomorrow. More about the sled?

Kevin, I havent been there yet. I also looked some information about this, you should try youtube, u'll find full videos of people going down on the slideway, seems to be ok.
If your are taking H# buses after 916 bus could you take a picture from the bus stop on Huairou North Street? That's the only think I still have doubt.

The cable is about 600 yards long and takes about 5 minutes for a singl ride. The sled is about 1,730 yards long and the duration changes according to one's speed. Of course you can go up the wall by cable and down by sled. Have fun~

The sledway goes all the way down and it is fun! Regarding the H buses, they are currently not running to north street at this time due to roadworks! We got caught out with this and we had to take a licensed taxi to the wall and then a dodgey unlicensed taxi back haikaru bus statiion because there are starngely no licensed taxis at the wall. My partner Sara will be posting with a better review of what happend later.

Oh a review will be of great help for future travelers like me. Much appreciated.

How Much Did the taxi Cost?

Look at my partners review above alex :) The licensed taxi cost 50 rmb and the unlicensed one tried to charge us 100 rmb but my partner and I haggled him down to 80rmb but it was hard going
