Description

Begin your adventure with a private transfer to Badaling Airport. Choose between a 10-minute flight focusing on core Great Wall attractions or a 30-minute flight extending to Kangxi Grassland and the Wild Great Wall. Soar into the sky and admire the magnificent Great Wall, with its gray bricks, beacon towers, and centuries of historical traces. After the flight, take photos with the helicopter, and some packages include an honorary flight certificate. After the helicopter ride, hike the Badaling Great Wall to touch its thousand-year-old texture. Choose between two routes: the steep North Great Wall, passing Hero Slope and reaching North 8th Tower for panoramic views (5.2km, ~2.5 hours, ideal for adventure lovers); or the gentle South Great Wall (2.3km, 1 hour round trip), perfect for families, the elderly, and children to walk and take photos, experiencing the charm of this world cultural heritage. In the evening, head to Yuxiandu Imperial Cuisine Museum for a “taste + culture” feast. The four-story building replicates the Forbidden City’s imperial style, with vermilion walls and carved beams, offering the unique experience of “museum in the restaurant, restaurant in the museum”. Taste authentic imperial delicacies here: the signature Forbidden City Jujube Wood Roast Duck is crispy outside and tender inside, while Yuxiandu Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is slowly simmered with rich soup. There are also many recreated court dishes, each with historical and culinary significance. The museum houses over 300 types and 3,000 pieces of Hanfu from past dynasties (Tang to Qing). Tourists can enjoy free professional Hanfu styling and walk through the venue in Hanfu, immersing themselves in traditional Chinese clothing culture. For a deep court culture experience, join the Zhonghua Yipin Banquet (cooperated with the Palace Museum), recreating Empress Dowager Cixi’s birthday banquet. With maids serving, court performances, and professional explanations of dishes’ history, you can experience the luxury of royal life.
