Lodging in Mutianyu
Doctor Liu's Guesthouse
|
This quiet guesthouse is operated by the village’s only medical professional, a former ‘barefoot doctor.’ Since retirement, Dr Liu has run this clean and simple guesthouse in her home at the base of the village for travellers and workers passing through. Don’t come expecting a palace, but you’ll be free of the bugs and grime that plague many village guesthomes. The hosts are a charming and warm local couple. Prices vary on season and whether or not you would like an air conditioned room, but always very reasonable.

Brickyard Inn & Retreat Center
|
The Brickyard is a lush and private eco-retreat that incorporates the kilns and other buildings of a traditional glazed tile factory in a design which is "green" from the ground up. The 16 queen rooms all have private terraces and story-and-a-half window walls with spectacular views of the Great Wall. The property also includes a lodge with cafe and a fully-equipped conference center. |
Big Rock House
|
To get to Big Rock House you wind up the hill in the middle of Yingbeigou village, stone walls and sturdy brick dwellings on one side, the creek and forested ridge on the other, sudden glimpses of sky and the Great Wall. Open the gate, turn right and go up a ramp until suddenly the Great Wall looms and the mountain home with its wild garden is revealed. Forsythia, irises, day lilies, honeysuckle, roses, annuals, chestnuts, pines, a persimmon and a willow. The heart is a massive in situ boulder, the gourmet kitchen occupies the old open-beamed farmhouse, and the master suite is built into the mountainside on three levels including a crow’s nest study. |
Mumanyu
|
Mumanyu was created by a family who wanted a very private retreat at the Great Wall, a place for their farflung clan to gather that would be close to nature and also engaged with the village community. |
Stone Forest
|
What was once an abandoned three-room hut with grass growing from broken roof tiles has been transformed into a rustic retreat. |
Lodging in TianXianYu

Now you too can share in this dream and Heart’s Desire can be your home at the Great Wall. |
