Then escape the city crowds for Mutianyu, known for stunning mountain views, restored ramparts, and fewer tourists than Badaling. With skip-the-line tickets, a private driver, and your English-speaking guide, you’ll enjoy a seamless, flexible, and comfortable day.

    Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Step inside the Forbidden City, once the private world of emperors and royals for over 500 years. With skip-the-line tickets, you won’t waste time in long queues—your private guide will lead you straight into a maze of grand halls, secret courtyards, and hidden treasures. Hear stories of imperial power, palace intrigues, and daily life behind the red walls that few tourists ever discover. Walking through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the royal gardens, and lesser-known areas, you’ll feel like you’re stepping back into a living history book—exclusive, immersive, and unforgettable.

    Mutianyu Great Wall

    Escape the crowds and experience the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, known for its breathtaking mountain scenery and peaceful trails. Unlike the busier Badaling section, Mutianyu offers wide stone steps, well-preserved watchtowers, and plenty of space for photos without the rush. Feel the thrill of standing on a UNESCO World Heritage site that winds endlessly over the green hills. For an extra adventure, choose the cable car or chairlift up and the fun toboggan ride down (optional, at your own expense). It’s not just a walk on the Wall—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience of history, nature, and excitement combined.
