Once hailed as the "New Architectural Wonder of China,” Commune by the Great Wall comprises 40 villas with 175 suites and 11 Presidential Suites.

Each villa has a unique structure and theme. From the Bamboo Wall, which offers six bedrooms and a tea room, to the Suitcase House and the Forest House (seen from afar, the Forest House resembles a bird's nest in a tree)

The architectural masterpieces were designed by 12 architects for guests to enjoy.

The great thing for travelers staying at the Commune is it offers a private path to a non-restored section of the Great Wall of China.
