This place is really special and beautiful. The folk village where it is situated is a quiet, peaceful and charming town with the great wall just minutes away by foot. The people inside the village were so helpful and nice, a stark contrast to those in miyun proper (see below). The locals do not speak english though (as most people... More

We stayed here as we wanted to get away from the hordes and enjoy the Great Wall in quieter surroundings.... This we managed to do. We hiked two days and came across a handful of other hikers- it is a brilliant location to hike from. The accommodation itself was very comfortable, the staff friendly and the food good, however you... More

This place is almost 5 star for me apart from the price. It's charming and relaxing as it's located in a tiny village right by the wall (literally walking distance). The double room we stayed in was perfect, just the kind of retreat we needed after the stress of Beijing. No tourists around and you basically have the wall to... More

I always wanted to visit The Great Wall. And in this hotel, i could enjoy the feel of oldness, sacred and mystery of The Great wall from the hotel's garden. This hotel is located under a hill with walls, so it's really near the wall. I stayed in the private room. It's really cozy, homy and have really nice room's... More

Wanna get far away from the hustle and bustle? This place will surely satisfy you. One day, really exhausted at my work, I was crazy about finding a place to chill out. I drove to the Box House. Although it's a bit far from the city, it is WORTHY! It is a quiet and cozy place to live for a... More

The a/c in the room was good enough and very quiet. The bed was very comfortable and shower was the right pressure. The entire... More

Wow. I don't think I've ever done anything in china so invigorating thus far. The Great Wall stands for it self. It truly is a great wall. I enjoyed it very much and it was a lot of fun. It cost 12RMB to go from Beijing central to the closest part of the wall. 45 RMB will gain you access... More

The hostel is next to an old part of the Great Wall, hardly any tourist there. From the hostel there a multiple treks to explore the Wall. The hostel is clean, has a nice common area and the family dinner is tasty. If you are allergic to cats, don't go.

We felt amazingly and greatly with our stay at the Box. Our private room was extremely cute with a great design, the room with great view to the garden next to it. Otherwise, friendly staff would to book an amazing trip. The location was brilliant once it located next to the GreatWall as well.
