Itinerary
Hotel pick-up at your downtown hotel lobby. We will then drive directly to the Mutianyu Great Wall, famous for its stunning natural scenery—lush forests and vibrant landscapes that transform beautifully with each season. Located in Huairou District, northeast of Beijing, this section is approximately 75 kilometers from the city center. As one of the best‑preserved and most picturesque sections of the Great Wall, Mutianyu historically served as a vital northern defensive barrier protecting the capital. You may take the cable car up to the wall. You can choose to hike along the wall to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, or take the cable car down or Chairlift up and toboggan ride for a fun and memorable descent. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

Amazing time. Wendy was...
Amazing time. Wendy was the best tour guide - very communicative, friendly, & knowledgeable. She made seeing the Great Wall an even more fantastic experience. We also got to try handmade Chinese tea tastings, which were so delicious. Highly recommend this tour!

That was very nice, but the weather was hot
Excellent Tour
Excellent experience. Very happy with the guide. Clearly understood her speaking, Wendy even helped me with my changed passport number to get me inside without slowing anyone down. The driver was great too, very smooth and safe drive, the vehicle is well kept, clean and comfortable for 1 hour drive. Very happy with this tour’s services
Great Wall Tour
Wendy - was a great day out. We were running late to pick up but was very accommodating. Very knowledgeable guide, lots of interesting facts and information about the wall. Added bonus of tea tasting and great restaurant at the end. Would recommend.
