Description
Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace & Old Summer Palace Day Tour – A Journey Through History and Beauty
Start your day with a visit to the stunning Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the best-preserved and most beautiful sections of this world-famous landmark. Unlike the busy Badaling section, Mutianyu offers a quieter and more relaxing experience, favored by international visitors seeking peace and authentic charm. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, the wall stretches along the mountain ridges, offering breathtaking views in every direction. Well-restored stone paths and majestic watchtowers let you explore freely, while optional cable car and toboggan rides add fun and ease to your visit.
In the afternoon, explore the magnificent Summer Palace, China’s largest and most famous imperial garden. Known for its serene Kunming Lake, picturesque Longevity Hill, and the richly painted Long Corridor, the Summer Palace blends royal architecture with natural beauty. Stroll through elegant pavilions, walk along lakeside paths, or enjoy a peaceful boat ride — all while soaking in the charm and history of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Finally, discover the haunting beauty of the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan), once the most splendid imperial garden complex in Chinese history. Though now in ruins after being destroyed in the 19th century, its broken stone columns and scattered relics tell a powerful story of former glory and loss. The Old Summer Palace offers a reflective and unique contrast to the grandeur of the Summer Palace — a place where history feels alive and thought-provoking.
This carefully designed itinerary covers three of Beijing’s most iconic cultural sites, combining ancient military history, imperial splendor, and historical reflection — making it a truly classic and unforgettable day tour.
