Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu Great Wall, built during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), stands as a testament to China’s ancient military prowess. Nestled amid lush forests and rugged mountains, this section offers breathtaking panoramic views, far less crowded than other stretches. Its strategic watchtowers and restored stone pathways blend history with natural beauty, making it a must-see. For convenience, you can take a cable car up and down, or opt for a chairlift ascent followed by an exhilarating toboggan slide descent—perfect for saving energy while enjoying the thrill. Whether you’re a history buff or a nature lover, Mutianyu promises an unforgettable blend of heritage and scenic splendor.
Lunch
Lunch at local restaurant
Summer palace
The Summer Palace, an imperial garden built in the Qing Dynasty (1750), was originally named Qingyiyuan (“Garden of Clear Ripples”) and later reconstructed by Empress Dowager Cixi. Destroyed during the Second Opium War, it now showcases stunning landscapes: serene Kunming lake,lush Longevity Hill, and the iconic Long Corridor adorned with 14,000+ historic paintings. Highlights include the grand Tower of Buddhist Incense and marble boats on the lake. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it blends classical Chinese garden design with natural beauty, offering a peaceful escape into imperial elegance.

“Visited Beijing for first time and booked a 2-day guided tour with GoWithGuide. Our English speaking guide was Clare Z.”
Clare Z is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide for Beijing. She is conversant with English language. The itinerary was well planned and included 2 interesting lunch spots. The restaurants chosen were great and reasonably priced. The historical commentaries at icon sites (Forbidden Palace etc) added great insights for me. Clare took great care of us through the trip. Example when my Hp was low on battery, she went to rent portable charger for me. What is more commendable even after our tour ended and we had issues with another local travel operator, she took her personal time to assist in successfully helping us get our refund. We are lucky to have her as our guide and our first visit was so much more enjoyable. I rate her 5 / 5. 4 April 2026.
