Meeting and pickup

Itinerary

• Beijing (Pass by)

  We have tailored two departure options for this tour to suit different preferences: If you prefer a serene afternoon and the dazzling night view of the Great Wall, the afternoon departure route is highly recommended. If you wish to explore the entire itinerary during the daytime without the night view, you can opt for the morning departure route to enjoy a full-day journey blending nature and culture. Below is the detailed itinerary for the afternoon departure: Your friendly private tour guide will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel at the pre-arranged time, and then head directly to Mutianyu Great Wall. The drive takes approximately 1.5 hours, during which your guide will elaborate on the millennium-old history and fascinating stories behind the Great Wall. Outside the window, the picturesque rural scenery of Beijing's suburbs unfolds slowly—golden rice fields, scattered villages and distant mountains complement each other, making the journey pleasant and relaxing.
