Description
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Beijing. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and China’s largest and best-preserved imperial garden.
Admire the exquisite traditional Chinese architectural art, including the iconic Long Corridor, Kunming Lake, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and the grand Buddha Incense Pavilion. Learn about the garden’s long history, imperial life stories, and profound traditional Chinese cultural connotations from your guide.
Next, sit back and relax during the 1.5-hour drive to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Along the way, your guide will introduce the historical origin, architectural features, and cultural significance of the Mutianyu Great Wall, answer all your questions, and share interesting local customs and travel tips.
Upon arrival, enjoy a delicious authentic Peking duck lunch at a clean, reputable local restaurant near the Mutianyu Great Wall. The meal includes classic roasted Peking duck, thin pancakes, sweet bean sauce, fresh scallions, and cucumbers, paired with seasonal side dishes and soup.
After lunch, explore the breathtaking Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the best-preserved and most scenic sections of the Great Wall with lush mountain views and fewer crowds. Stroll along the ancient stone battlements, climb the majestic watchtowers, and take stunning photos of the winding wall across the mountains.
Choose between a round-trip cable car for easy and panoramic viewing or a chairlift up and toboggan slide down for a fun and unique experience. Your guide will accompany you and share detailed historical stories during the exploration.
After your Great Wall adventure, relax on the return drive to downtown Beijing. Take a comfortable rest on the way or continue to communicate with the guide about Chinese history and culture, enjoying a leisurely return trip. Finally, get dropped off at your hotel.
