Description
We will pick you up from your Beijing hotel. It takes 1.5 hours to reach the Wall from downtown Beijing. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is a little further from Beijing than the most popular section at Badaling, but it doesn't get as crowded. This section of the Wall is fully restored; there are handrails to help you up on the very steep parts, and the views are spectacular.
After the Great Wall, you will visit the Summer Palace. You’ll see an immaculately preserved royal garden, as well as a lake, bridges, trees, temples, and historic pavilions. It’s a popular summer holiday destination for Imperial families, and between April and October, there are Dragon Boat rides available too (additional costs apply). The tour ends with a return trip back to your hotel.
