    Mutianyu Great Wall

    Your guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at your scheduled time. The 90-minute journey to the Mutianyu Great Wall will take you to one of the most spectacular sections, renowned for its breathtaking views. Initially built under General Xu Da’s command and reinforced in 1569 by Qi Jiguang (the legendary anti-piracy hero), this majestic section offers two exploration options: 1. Take the round-trip enclosed cable car for panoramic views. 2. Ascend by chairlift and descend via China’s longest toboggan slide (weather permitting—unavailable during rain). Choose your preferred option. You’ll spend about 2.5 hours here, followed by a one-hour lunch (at your own expense).

    Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling)

    After lunch, we’ll drive approximately one hour to the Ming Tombs—Changling, the crown jewel of the complex. As the best-preserved imperial tomb, it houses Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di). Nestled within the sacred embrace of Tianshou Mountain, this awe-inspiring complex (constructed between 1409 and 1427—four years longer than the Forbidden City) stands as a monumental testament to imperial legacy. After a one-hour visit, we’ll return to your hotel (approx. 1-hour drive).
