Panda House (Beijing Zoo)
Beijing Zoo is especially renowned for its giant pandas, one of China’s national treasures and a symbol of wildlife conservation. The zoo has a dedicated Giant Panda Pavilion, which is a must-see attraction for visitors. The pavilion provides a spacious and naturalistic environment for the pandas, replicating their wild habitat with bamboo groves, rockeries, and pools. Visitors can observe these iconic animals up close as they eat, play, and rest, offering a rare opportunity to see giant pandas outside of their native Sichuan Province.
Beijing Zoo has played a significant role in the global effort to protect and breed giant pandas, contributing to the conservation and scientific research of this endangered species. The zoo’s breeding program has successfully raised several panda cubs, helping to sustain the population both in captivity and in the wild. As a symbol of China's commitment to wildlife preservation, the giant pandas at Beijing Zoo draw millions of visitors annually, making them the zoo's most popular and beloved attraction.
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 (at your own expense), sampling traditional Chinese cuisine.
