Tour of Beijing: Great Wall, Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square

In the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to Tiananmen Square. Take a morning walk around the square and capture stunning photos of its iconic landmarks. Then, visit the 600-year-old Forbidden City, the largest and most well-preserved imperial palace complex of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Note: Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, we will visit the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City if your travel date falls on a Monday.

After a 1.5-hour drive, arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall. First, enjoy a buffet lunch of authentic Chinese dishes with soft drinks to prepare for your afternoon tour. Then avoid the crowds to hike and take in the best-preserved and most popular Mutianyu Great Wall for at least 2.5 hours. The round-way cable car ride or chairlift, and toboggan will be arranged for you.

To relieve your fatigue from the Great Wall hiking, we arrange for you a complimentary tea break for around 30 minutes before getting back. You will experience a Chinese tea ceremony to learn about traditional tea cultures. Finally, your guide and driver will transfer you back to downtown and drop you off at your hotel.
