3 days (approximately)
Offered in: English

This 3-day private tour combines the UNESCO-listed Badaling Great Wall with an exclusive overnight immersion in Yanqing’s living heritage — Yongning Ancient City — a destination virtually absent from other Viator listings. Unlike standard Great Wall day trips, travelers stay overnight at the Hilton Yanqing, dine at a local farmhouse with a traditional BBQ and folk singing experience, and explore Ming Dynasty ruins with a historian guide. On Days 2 and 3, the tour continues with VIP access to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Summer Palace, including a hands-on hutong craft workshop with local artisans. This tour is ideal for cultural enthusiasts, families with children aged 6+, and travelers seeking authentic experiences beyond Beijing’s tourist circuit. Private vehicle and dedicated guide throughout ensure a personalized pace with no rushing between sites.
