Description

Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace Day Tour — A Perfect Blend of History, Beauty, and Culture This classic day tour takes you to two of Beijing’s most iconic and beloved sites, offering an unforgettable journey into China’s rich past and breathtaking landscapes. In the morning, you will explore the magnificent Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the best-preserved and most picturesque sections of the Great Wall. Unlike the crowded Badaling section, Mutianyu offers a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to truly appreciate the grandeur and history of this ancient wonder. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, the scenery here changes beautifully with the seasons. You can walk along the restored wall, admire its imposing watchtowers, and enjoy panoramic views stretching far into the distance. The option to take a cable car or toboggan ride adds fun and convenience to your experience. In the afternoon, the tour continues to the enchanting Summer Palace, the largest and best-preserved imperial garden in China. Once the summer retreat for the Qing emperors, the palace features stunning lakes, elegant pavilions, intricate bridges, and beautifully landscaped grounds. A walk along the famous Long Corridor, a boat ride on Kunming Lake, or a climb up Longevity Hill offers peaceful views and insight into Chinese garden art and imperial life. The Summer Palace perfectly blends natural beauty with cultural significance, making it a must-see for any visitor. This tour is considered one of the most classic and rewarding routes in Beijing, ideal for travelers who want to experience the essence of China’s ancient wonders and imperial elegance in just one day.
