We also bypassed the Badaling section of the wall last week because it is polluted with tourists and vendors and were very glad we did. Mutianyu is about a 2 hour drive from south of the city centre and you get a chance to see some countryside on the way which is lush and beautiful.For older folks, it also offers a skytrain ride to the wall and guard towers close to where you exit so that the wall can be explored easier. There were very few people on the wall and the beautiful surrounding scenery made for great picture taking. There were plenty of vendors there too but none, thankfully, on the wall.
