You step off the plane and, within an hour, find yourself cruising out of Beijing’s concrete grid toward a ridgeline that seems to rise to meet you. At Mutianyu the wall runs like a long, deliberate spine across forested slopes; watchtowers peer down as if timing every traveler’s breath. On return to the city, Wangfujing hums with neon and snack stalls, the air full of spice and roasting sugar.
