Itinerary

Walk Along the Great Wall of China The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is one of the most scenic and historically rich. Ride the cable car up to the top, where you’ll be treated to jaw-dropping views, then explore an impressive cluster of ancient watchtowers. When it’s time to head down, take the toboggan for a fun, unique ride (or opt to take the cable car back down).

Duration: approx 2.5 hours on the wall

Lunch at a Farmhouse-style Restaurant Enjoy a local meal in a riverside restaurant featuring traditional Hui-style architecture. Located in a village near the Great Wall, it’s the perfect spot to relax and refuel with seasonal dishes like chestnut-braised pork belly and grilled rainbow trout.

Discover Beijing's Hutongs & Drum Tower Dating back to the 12th century, these historic narrow lanes (aka Hutongs) make up the geographic center of Beijing as they spread in every direction from the Forbidden city. Stroll by foot while getting glimpses of the iconic Drum Tower through the alleyways.
