Description
Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace & Old Summer Palace (YuanMingYuan Park)Private Tour – A Personalized Journey Through History, Culture & Beauty
Enjoy the ultimate freedom and flexibility on this private day tour, designed to give you a more personal, relaxed, and immersive experience of three of Beijing’s most iconic sites. Without the constraints of a group, you can explore at your own pace and truly savor each moment.
Start your day at the Mutianyu Great Wall, renowned for its breathtaking scenery, well-preserved watchtowers, and peaceful atmosphere. Compared to the crowded Badaling section, Mutianyu offers a quieter and more authentic setting, surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests. You’ll have plenty of time to hike, take photos, or enjoy the stunning panoramic views. Optional cable car and toboggan rides add extra fun and convenience — all decided by you, with no rush.
In the afternoon, continue to the Summer Palace, China’s largest and most beautiful imperial garden. As this is a private tour, you can take your time wandering the elegant pavilions, strolling along the Long Corridor with its intricate paintings, or enjoying the serene views of Kunming Lake. Whether you prefer a relaxing lakeside walk or a deeper exploration of its imperial history, the choice is yours.
End the day at the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) — once the most magnificent royal retreat, now a hauntingly beautiful ruin that tells a story of grandeur and loss. As you walk through the scattered stones and tranquil gardens, you’ll feel the deep historical significance of this site — with the freedom to linger and reflect as long as you wish.
