Niaochao National Stadium

Meet your private guide in hotel’s lobby at 8:30am in Beijing. On the way to The Mutianyu Great Wall, if time allows, you are able to stop to take photos at the iconic “Bird’s Nest”– the Beijing National Stadium, where hosts many spectacular events of the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Once arrive at the The Mutianyu Great Wall, you’ll enjoy a less hurried experience and take time to marvel at this wondrous structure and the surrounding hillsides. Hiking up and down for about 1.5 hours at the various sections of the Wall, exploring the watch and beacon towers. Mutianyu is a bit more rugged and slightly less crowded than the more famous Badaling. Over 96% of Mutianyu is covered by trees and orchards, keeping the air fragrant with chestnut blossoms in the spring and fresh all year long. You will stop at a Local Restaurant for lunch.

Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)

In the afternoon, continue to a well-preserved royal garden: the Summer Palace. Renowned for its beautiful landscape and spectacular architecture, the Summer Palace has been listed in the World Heritage Sites and considered as one of the most classical gardens of the world.

Learn the stories about Empress Cixi with your tour guide here and check out her living quarters.

Long Corridor at the Summer Palace

Walk along the longest corridor in the world which listed on the Guinness book of world record.
