Description

From Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace Day Tour – A Classic Journey through History and Beauty Start your day with a visit to the breathtaking Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the best-preserved and most scenic sections of this world-famous landmark. Compared to the crowded Badaling section, Mutianyu offers a peaceful and less touristy experience, making it especially popular among international visitors. The wall winds along lush, forested mountains, offering panoramic views in every season — vibrant greens in summer, fiery colors in autumn, and snow-dusted beauty in winter. Well-maintained stone pathways and impressive watchtowers give you the freedom to hike, explore, or simply soak in the historical grandeur. Optional cable car and toboggan rides add extra fun and ease to your journey. In the afternoon, continue your tour at the magnificent Summer Palace, China’s largest and most beautiful imperial garden. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famed for its serene Kunming Lake, the grand Longevity Hill, elegant bridges, and the famous Long Corridor — a richly decorated walkway filled with colorful paintings. Here, you can wander through pavilions, enjoy boat rides, or simply relax amid the harmony of nature and imperial architecture. This thoughtfully designed itinerary covers two of Beijing’s most iconic and must-see attractions, blending ancient military history with royal elegance and natural beauty. It’s a classic day tour that offers rich culture, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences — perfect for first-time visitors and those seeking the essence of Beijing.
