great wall, near beijing, on national day holidays

Question

I will be in Beijing October 4 & 5, during National Day festivities.  I would love to see the magnificent Great Wall but would like to avoid as much crowds as possible.  Which sections of The Great Wall are least crowded?  I am a healthy, 57-year old man traveling alone.  Which tour companies would you recommend for these sections?  I will be staying at a major hotel near Forbidden City.  Thank you.

During the national holiday, it will be very very crowded. Mutianyu, Simatai Great Wall are recommended to you with less tourists and nice landscape. If you want to book a tour, you can send e-mails to travel@travelchinaguide.com that helped me visit Biejing, Xian, Shanghai last year. Hope to be helpful.
