Detailed Tour Itinerary:
In the morning, your private tour guide and driver will meet you at your Beijing Hotel lobby (all hotels within 4th Ring Road of Beijing – if staying outside of this area, additional fees apply). We recommend meeting at 8:00 am as an early start is best to visit the Forbidden City & Tian’an Men Square.
After visiting Tiananmen Square, you’ll walk to The Forbidden City, which is the largest and best preserved imperial palace in the entire world. This palace complex is a UNESCO world heritage site, housing the largest collection of ancient wood structures throughout the world.


After visiting the Forbidden City, you’ll drive approximately 1.5 hours to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Upon arrival, enjoy a quick lunch at a nearby local restaurant (your guide can provide recommendations based on your preferences). After lunch, take a chairlift up to the Great Wall. Mutianyu is the longest restored section and is less crowded than Badaling Great Wall. You’ll have approx. 2 hours to explore before returning to the base via chairlift (included) or toboggan ride.
After visiting Mutianyu Great Wall, you will return to Beijing downtown (1.5hrs by car) and be dropped off at your centrally located hotel.
