Not only is this the best part of the wall to visit, it has the greatest decent of all the other sites. As you have heard from other reviews, Badaling is not the place to go. They are building 5 star hotels near Badaling so that should give you an idea of how crowded that section of the wall is. Mutianyu provides great "people-free" photo opportunities. I can't say enough about this section of the wall.
The best way to see Mutianyu is to take the closed cable cars to the top, once you reach the top, take the left route, you will be able to make the steep climb to the highest point on the wall, but if you are not so adventurous, then you can walk left for some great photos without climbing the steep wall section, work your way back past the cable cars and walk all the way to the ski lift / tobogan area (this walk is mostly downhill), TAKE the Toboggan down back to the parking lot area where you began. This is such a great way to end your hike, Don't worry, you can control the speed of your descent!!!
If you go to the top via ski lift, just be aware that your walk will be about 80% uphill, everyone I passed walking this way were disappointed to know that the other route was better.
