Day 01
Great Wall at Mutianyu, Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City
- Pick up from your selected hotel in the morning and depart Beijing in the comfort of your private vehicle. Relax on the 1.5-hour drive to the Great Wall at Mutianyu.
- On arrival, learn from your private guide about the construction and restoration of the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China during the Ming Dynasty.
- Alternatively, you can ascend the architectural marvel of Mutianyu more easily by chair lift or cable car, then explore at your own pace and look out over the surrounding hillsides.
- Stop for an authentic Chinese lunch in the Beijing countryside at a restaurant for locals, not tourists.
- Return to Beijing in the afternoon.
- Visit Tian'anmen Square and wander through it on foot with your guide before passing through the South Gate to the Forbidden City.
- At the end of the tour, your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
