The Brickyard hotel is on doorstep of the Great Wall, for which you should budget at least half a day. It lies close to Mutianyu Village, one of four villages in the little valleys under Mutianyu Great Wall connected by trails through orchards and pine forests. Each of these villages has its own history and the best way to get a sense for life in the countryside is to get on your feet and go exploring. Brickyard can arrange private tours to the Great Wall, as well as village tours on foot and bike.
