What to expect

  1. The Palace Museum
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your tour guide/driver will pick you up at your hotel at 8 in the morning, and then you will visit the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is a representative of traditional Chinese architecture. As the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties (from 1420 AD to 1911 AD), a total of 24 emperors and their concubines lived here and ruled the whole of China. With the Hall of Supreme Harmony as the center, the broad southern side was the venue where the imperial family held various celebrations, while the northern side, mainly the imperial garden, was the place where the concubines and princes lived their daily lives. You can learn from the tour guide about the luxurious lives of the imperial family members and interesting historical stories of modern China.
  2. Mutianyu Great Wall
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Why did the people in the Ming Dynasty of China 600 years ago spend 250 years building the Great Wall with a length of 8,642 kilometers? Your tour guide will take you to climb onto the Great Wall and look into the distance together. The main purpose of building the Great Wall was to defend against the attacks of the Hun army from the north to the south. Of course, from a modern perspective, it might also be the result of trade protectionism. There is tranquility here, far away from the urban area.

    The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was built on mountains with an altitude of 800 meters. The wall is about 10 meters high and can accommodate 10 people walking side by side. The round-trip cable car or toboggan to the Great Wall is already included in this itinerary. It will take about 10 minutes to reach the Great Wall on the top of the mountain by cable car.

    After visiting the Great Wall, you will return to your hotel in the urban area at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
