Mutianyu Great Wall is older than Badaling Great Wall. Mutianyu Great Wall was first built in the mid-6th century during the Northern Qi Dynasty. In Ming dynasty, under the supervision of General Xu Da, construction of the presently seen Mutianyu Great Wall began on the foundation of the wall of Northern Qi Dynasty. In 1404, a pass was built in the wall at Mutianyu consisting of three interconnected towers that were capable of withstanding a strong attack.
Another interesting feature of Mutianyu Great Wall is that both the inner and outer parapets of the wall are crenellated with merlons - a feature quite rare among sections of the Great Wall.
Mutianyu Great Wall was opened to tourists on May Day in 1986, the second Great Wall site opened to tourists after Badaling Great Wall.
