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.

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.

“Great Guide”
Clare was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We had a great day - trying to fit as much in with a custom agenda as we could. The 798 Art district was very cool to squeeze in between the Great Wall and the Acrobatics show
