A Beijing government-run company with the awkward name of "Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch" (北京旅游集散中心) provides cheap rides to The Great Wall and other tourist destinations in and around Beijing city.
Although the price is right and the company can be trusted not to pull any tricks on customers, there is a downside - availability of buses is unpredictable. Even the people at the ticket office don’t know which routes will be available except for the very morning the buses depart. Even after buying a ticket, if there isn’t 15 or more people that purchase tickets, the bus will not depart and the ticket price will be refunded. Another drawback is that they only speak Chinese. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a cheap way to visit some of the main tourist attractions around Beijing, we suggest you consider riding with Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch.
