Description

Begin your private tour with convenient hotel pickup in Beijing, escorted by an experienced English-speaking guide. The ride to Mutianyu Great Wall takes roughly 1.5 hours, during which your guide will share rich historical facts and tales about the Great Wall. Entrance tickets to the Great Wall are fully included. Upon arrival, you can hike up the wall on foot, or opt for round-trip cable car, one-way chairlift uphill paired with a toboggan downhill. All cable car, chairlift and toboggan fees are to be covered at your own cost. Your guide will accompany you on the wall, offering in-depth historical explanations, while leaving you ample free time for hiking, photos and sightseeing. After finishing your Great Wall exploration, we drive back to central Beijing to visit the Drum Tower. Watch the fantastic traditional drum performance, and climb the tower to soak in sweeping views of Beijing’s Central Axis and Houhai Lake, with your guide narrating the profound local history of this area. Afterwards, take a leisurely stroll through the nearby ancient hutongs and learn about genuine alleyway culture. Dumplings hold great significance in traditional Chinese culture as a symbol of reunion and good fortune. We will treat you to an authentic local dumpling feast at a well-loved restaurant hidden within the hutong area. Once your meal concludes, your private driver will transfer you back to your downtown hotel.
