Description
Your journey begins at Mutianyu, a section of the Great Wall that sees far fewer tourists than Badaling — and here, the story of power takes on a new dimension. It was built to protect the central authority, the realm, its people, and the very legitimacy of the throne from invasion. Here, you can take stunning photos without crowds getting in your way. Setting off at the foot of the mountain, we'll take a shuttle bus to the cable car station. From there, you can ride the cable car or chairlift up, soaking in the stunning views of Mutianyu Great Wall along the way. For the descent, you can choose between the toboggan or the cable car. Built beneath the Great Wall, the toboggan is a one-of-a-kind speed slide found nowhere else in the world. As you zigzag down the mountain, you'll feel the thrill of driving a speedboat or racing a car, turning your trip to the Great Wall into an unforgettable adventure. After exploring the Great Wall, enjoy a traditional countryside lunch featuring seasonal local dishes. In the afternoon, visit a local orchard in Beijing's western hills, where you can pick seasonal fruits such as cherries or apricots depending on the time of year. Learn about local farming traditions while enjoying a relaxed rural atmosphere rarely experienced by most visitors. Continue to Dajue Temple, a historic temple known for its peaceful courtyards, ancient trees, and rich cultural heritage. Here, participate in a traditional tea culture session and discover the role of tea in Chinese daily life, philosophy, and hospitality. This experience combines heritage, local lifestyle, seasonal agriculture, and cultural learning, creating a unique journey beyond the typical Great Wall itinerary.Includes
