Beijing has shorter spring and autumn seasons and longer winter, with an average annual precipitation of 644 mm and a frost-free period of 180 days. Although the winter in Beijing is very long, the indoor heating equipment is very good and warm as spring. Because of the great temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, you should take sweaters and cotton-padded clothes when you travel to Beijing in winter.

Newspapers, radio stations and TV stations in Beijing all have weather forecast columns and explanations, so please pay attention. You can also dial 335, which provides the weather forecast for the same day and the next day in Chinese and English.

But most of Beijing's tourism projects are cultural relics, scenic buildings and folk customs. These projects are not affected by the climate, and you can go to Beijing all year round. Travel agencies and restaurants in Beijing have off-season prices in winter, which can save a lot.

Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou County in the northeast corner of Beijing, 73 kilometers away from Beijing. This section connects Juyongguan, Changping County, Beijing in the west and Gubeikou, Miyun County, Beijing in the east. Since ancient times, it has been a military stronghold to defend Beijing, and it is known as the "dangerous mountain". As early as 1400 years ago during the Northern Qi Dynasty, Mutianyu built the Great Wall. Rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty, Tian Mu Valley Pass was built in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1404). In the third year of Qin Long (A.D. 1569), when Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang were guarding Gyeonggi, they repaired it on the basis of the Great Wall in the early Ming Dynasty. At present, the Great Wall preserved and restored in Mutianyu was built in Ming Dynasty, which is one of the best preserved sections of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty in China.

The geographical location of Mutianyu is very important, and there have been many wars here. Among them, the most famous are several wars in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Da and Yuan Bing also fought here in the early Ming Dynasty. Mutianyu Great Wall is mostly built on steep cliffs outside, relying on the mountain to take advantage of the situation to control Eritrea. The wall is seven or eight meters high and four or five meters wide at the top. The building materials are mainly granite, which is majestic and solid. Mutianyu Great Wall has low battlements on both sides of the wall top, which can repel the enemy from both sides, and there are horse pits on the outside, which makes the defense function more perfect. This is a major feature.

On both sides of the wall top of Mutianyu Great Wall, there are piles about 5 feet long, more than 0 feet thick/kloc-0 and more than 2 feet high. The closed sides of Mutianyu Great Wall rise along the ridge and turn over with the mountain. The crenels in these areas are not rectangular, but serrated. The shooting hole is built under the crib. It is not a round hole, but a square hole with an arc top. There is also a battery in a dangerous place. Mutianyu Great Wall also has a "sub-city". The so-called "supporting the city" means building a section of the Great Wall along the mountain ridge where there are high ridges inside and outside the Great Wall, with a length ranging from several meters to tens of meters, and building an enemy tower here, which the locals call "knife tower". When the Mutianyu Great Wall was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, cribs were built on both sides of the top of the wall, and a new rolling stone mine cave was set up to attack and defend. The construction of a "knife handle building" can control the commanding heights and reduce the threat to the main city. Mutianyu Great Wall starts from the left side of Zhengguantai, turns over with the mountain, and rushes to the distance.

The Great Wall extends from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. After erecting an enemy tower on the mountainside, it suddenly descended, turned down to the mountainside and suddenly rose again. More than 940 meters above sea level, around a big bend, shaped like a horn, vigorous and powerful. People call it "the horn edge". The Great Wall continues to extend from the "Horn Edge" and passes through a place called "Jiankou". It is a mountain peak with an altitude of 1.044 meters, with steep sides. When building the Great Wall, we must cross the broken ridge and steep cliff outside the hill, but we can't leave this commanding height outside. How can we solve this problem? Obviously, masonry or wood cannot be used. So the clever craftsman used two big iron beams to bear the load on the cliff and then laid bricks on it. This method is extremely rare in the whole history of Great Wall construction. On the east side of Mutianyu Great Wall, the Great Wall originally extended to the northeast along the mountain. However, at an enemy tower, a section of about 1000 meters suddenly diverged, and it found another road in the southeast direction. At the end of the mountain, it came to an abrupt end and finally built a very strong and majestic enemy tower. This section of the Great Wall is more than a thousand meters long and is called "the edge of the bald tail".

In this way, the Great Wall has formed a landscape where the three Great Walls meet on the first floor, "looking at the dragon on three sides". On both sides of Mutianyu Great Wall, there is a section of the Great Wall called "Eagle Flying Upside Down". The walls are all built on bare cliffs. Most of the slopes of the Great Wall are about 50 degrees, and one section is close to 90 degrees, almost vertical, and the steps are only a few feet wide, so people who are not brave dare not step in.

Mutianyu Great Wall and Enemy Terrace were expanded on the basis of the Great Wall in the early Ming Dynasty. The wall is 5-7 meters high and there is a horse path about 4 meters wide at the top. The wall is paved with stones on both sides and filled with messy lime in the middle. On both sides of the top road are stacked walls made of city bricks, and there are holes in the stacked walls. Mutianyu area is surrounded by enemy stations because of the gentle mountain, and the nearest distance is less than 50 meters.

Generally, the height and width of the hollow enemy platform are about12m. Divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is the room, and the upper floor is the observation deck. The winding Great Wall, like the same dragon, swims in the green ocean.

The wall is about 6 meters wide at the bottom, 4 meters wide at the top and 8 meters high. Most of the inside and outside of the city wall are composed of 13 layers of brown or cyan granite strips. The height and width of the strip are about 0.5m, and the length varies from 0.7m to 3m. The appearance has been treated and the outline is clear.

The wall is filled with gravel and loess, covered with lime, and the floor is paved with bricks about one foot square, forming a "horse path". There are brick parapets on both sides. The outer daughter is increased by1.85m, leaving crenels and perforations at equal intervals.

There is a certain distance between the inner parapet and the city body, and faucets with different heights extend out of the wall to drain water. There is a battery built outside the road, which is made of earth and stone. It is about 1.5m long and about 0.5m high. Most batteries are not far from enemy platforms. The battlements of the enemy platform are11.67m high and vary in circumference, mostly 33-40m, with a maximum of 53.3m..

There are two kinds of enemy platforms: hollow enemy platforms and solid enemy platforms. The enemy platform is divided into upper and lower floors, and the bottom floor is half empty for soldiers to board the ship to store weapons and food. There are brick coupon passages on both sides of the enemy building. There is a front window on the wall with three, four and five holes for observation and fighting. There are holes connected with the upper floor at the virginity of the passage, and there are no masonry steps. You must climb up and down the rope or wooden ladder. This way is to insist on assistance in an emergency. Oak beams and planks are used between floors, and the upper floor is surrounded by protective walls, piles and perforations, which are used for defense and war. The enemy station is used for observation, but there is actually only one floor.

In addition, there are brick houses with roofs for soldiers to stay and store weapons and food, surrounded by hiding places. In the southeast of Mutianyu, the three Great Walls meet at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 603.3 meters. There is an enemy building at the top of the mountain called Dajiaolou. The city wall passes through the "Niujiaobian" cliff at an altitude of more than 940 meters along the mountain, which is very steep.

Around Mutianyu Great Wall, the vegetation coverage rate is over 70%, and it is rich in walnuts, chestnuts, apricots, sugar pears and red fruits. There are dense pine forests, among which there are 15 pine trees over 300 years old. There is a Gu Song on the top of the hill northwest of Mutianyu, and its trunk is split in two. One is Pinus massoniana and the other is Pinus tabulaeformis, which is called "Yuanyang pine" locally. There are three springs nearby: Lianhuachi Spring, Beilongtan (now submerged by the reservoir) and Pearl Spring.

Mutianyu Great Wall is surrounded by mountains, connected to Juyongguan in the west and Gubeikou in the east. Like Badaling, it is the essence of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall is undulating, with strong buildings, dense enemy buildings and dangerous passes. Because Mutianyu is located in a military fortress, Zhu Yuanzhang's generals personally supervised the construction and built it on the site of the former Northern Qi Great Wall in 1368.

The exquisite carvings of famous soldiers in the past dynasties have created a unique landscape in which the three Great Walls in the southeast peak will gather at the top of Dajiaolou. At the top of the mountain in the northwest, there is a winding "horn edge" that floats away like a cloud.

Looking into the city, it looks like the Great Wall of Wan Li. It is spectacular and feels like Wan Ren. The highest cliff is less than a foot from heaven. Mutianyu not only has a magnificent Great Wall, but also has a unique natural landscape. In spring, peach blossoms and willows are shaded, and in summer, the mountains are full of blue waves and flowing water, and Qiu Lai is full of red leaves. Winter clothes are covered with snow.

Collect the essence of hundreds of passes of the Great Wall in Wan Li, select 100 representative passes with different styles, and reduce them in proportion to 1o: 1 in a scenic area of 35,000 square meters at the foot of Mutianyu Great Wall.

The new scenic spots under construction not only carry forward the long and splendid history and culture of the Chinese nation, but also increase the appreciation of the scenic spots. Mukouyu Great Wall Tourist Area will be the bitter point of Wan Li Great Wall landscape.
