I went with a few friends to spend the night at the Great Wall, Mutianyu in a refurbished village house on Saturday. Clearly going up the Wall in the afternoon is the best way to avoid the crowds- it was blissfully quiet and incredibly clear. And staying in the village is perfect- the house, the quiet, the darkness (not easy to achieve in Beijing city). Thoroughly recommended if you ever find yourself in Beijing!
