Description
We offer 4 tailored combo packages for your Guyaju Cave Dwellings trip. Note: Tickets and lunch are not included – all attraction tickets can be purchased on the day with your guide’s assistance, no need to worry in advance. For lunch, your guide will recommend local restaurants, and you can pay for your meal at your own expense.
You’ll be picked up from your Beijing downtown hotel by private vehicle with a professional guide and driver. The journey to Guyaju takes about 2 hours, during which your guide will share related histories and interesting facts – feel free to interact and ask questions.
Upon arrival at Guyaju Cave Dwellings, admire 117 amazing ancient caves reportedly carved by the Xiyi ethnic minority during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Most caves cluster in two rock-face villages, resembling a “human ant farm” with unique architectural ingenuity. It’s a perfect choice for those seeking an easy, impressive, and relatively little-known experience.
After exploring Guyaju, choose one of the following 4 options to extend your tour:
Option 1: Guyaju + Longqing Gorge Private Day Tour
Head to Longqing Gorge, known as “Little Three Gorges” for its striking natural beauty. Enjoy a scenic boat ride to admire clear waters, wooded mountains, exotic rocks, and stunning karst caves, including highlights like Bell Mountain, Phoenix-Coronet Island, Dongdazhai, and Moon Bay.
Option 2: Guyaju + Ming Tombs Private Tour
First visit the Sacred Way of the Ming Tombs, lined with 18 pairs of 500-year-old marble statues. Learn about the Fengshui theory behind the site and fascinating Ming Dynasty stories from your guide. Then proceed to Dingling Tomb, where Emperor Wanli and his two empresses were buried. Explore the underground palace with five grand chambers and view the unearthed treasures in the museum.
Option 3: Guyaju + Badaling Great Wall Private Tour
Visit Badaling Great Wall – the most iconic, well-preserved, and outstanding section of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, hailed as one of the world’s seven construction wonders. Spend 1-2 hours hiking the wall and exploring different watchtowers with your guide. For convenience, you can take the cable car up to save energy and time.
Option 4: Guyaju + Juyongguan Great Wall Private Tour
Explore Juyongguan Great Wall, a less crowded section with diverse functional structures for logistics, management, and defense. Once a major traffic artery between Beijing and Inner Mongolia during the Yuan Dynasty, it offers a more serene and immersive Great Wall experience.
The tour ends with a drop-off at your Beijing downtown hotel.
