Description
Begin your one-day Beijing adventure from your hotel. Your guide and driver will meet you in your hotel lobby in the morning and start your lovely trip from downtown Beijing. You will first visit Tian'anmen Square, one of the largest city squares in the world. As you stroll around the square, you will see the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, Chairman Mao's Mausoleum and the Monument to the People's Heroes.
Then walk to the magnificent Forbidden City. Entry with your pre-booked ticket. Begin your exploration of the world's largest imperial complex, also one of the best-preserved sites in the world. Once the imperial palace for the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is now home to the Palace Museum.
Afterward, set out for the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, approximately 1.5 hours away by car. On the way, you will stop at a local restaurant, taste different varieties of dishes, enjoy a glass of cold beer or soft drinks. Then relax in your comfortable private vehicle and listen as your guide fills you in on the history of this site. Once you arrive, gaze up at the incredible hilltop battlements. Then, with your pre-booked ticket, travel directly to the gate rather than using the shuttle bus transfer, and enjoy fast-track access. Then choose a cable car or ski lift to the wall itself. Spend the next several hours hiking and exploring on foot.
After the trip, your guide and driver will accompany you to the hotel.
