1. Mutianyu Great Wall
In the morning, your experienced English-speaking tour guide and chauffeur will greet you at your hotel's lobby. Your journey will commence with a scenic drive of approximately 1.5 hours to reach the Mutianyu Great Wall, located in a less congested area of Beijing. Renowned for its stunning natural surroundings, including dense forests and verdant pastures that transition beautifully throughout the seasons, this segment of the Great Wall stretches over 1000 meters to the peak of a mountain, before descending sharply downhill. You'll have approximately two hours to immerse yourself in exploration. Whether you opt for a leisurely hike, a cable car or chair lift ascent, or even a thrilling toboggan ride to slide down, there are various ways to ascend to the Wall.
Duration: 120 mins
2. Summer Palace
Once you've savored a delicious lunch at a nearby eatery, the next stop on your adventure is the Summer Palace. Just a little over an hour's drive from the Great Wall, this magnificent palace was once the royal garden. Here, you'll discover a mesmerizing array of pavilions, mansions, temples, bridges, and a vast lake, all surrounded by picturesque corridors. One highlight is the Long Corridor, a record-holder for being the world's longest. Don't miss iconic sights like the Seventeen Arches Bridge, the Qingyan Stone Boat, the serene Kunming Lake, and the majestic Longevity Hill. After your tour, we'll transfer you back to your hotel, rounding off an unforgettable day of exploration and discovery.
