Itinerary Quick Look

We’re happy to tailor this private tour of Beijing to match your interests. Please note that the time frame is for reference only and may vary due to traffic conditions on the day of your tour.

Your tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Once you arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall, you'll enjoy a more relaxed experience, with fewer crowds compared to Badaling. This section offers a chance to marvel at the Great Wall's historic significance and the stunning surrounding landscapes. Take the Mutianyu cable car or Mutianyu chairlift up to the Wall, where you can hike through various sections, including ancient watchtowers and beacon towers, for about 1.5 hours. For a fun descent, you can opt for the exciting Mutianyu toboggan ride or take the ski lift/cable car back to the base.

Mutianyu is slightly more rugged and scenic, with over 96% of the area covered by trees and chestnut orchards, providing fresh air all year long, especially fragrant in the spring. After exploring, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, sampling traditional Chinese cuisine.    

Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)

In the afternoon, continue your journey to the Summer Palace, a well-preserved royal garden that served as a retreat for emperors. Renowned for its stunning landscape design, tranquil lakes, and elaborate architecture, the Summer Palace is a masterpiece of Chinese gardening art. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most classical gardens in the world. Highlights include Kunming Lake, Longevity Hill, and the Long Corridor, all of which showcase the harmonious blend of natural beauty and human creativity. As you stroll through the palace grounds, you’ll be immersed in a serene atmosphere, offering both a glimpse into imperial leisure life and breathtaking views of ancient pavilions, bridges, and temples.
