Meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and board an air-conditioned minivan heading to the Mutianyu Great Wall. During the 1.5-hour journey to Mutianyu, listen as your guide shares stories about this incredible monument.
The Mutianyu Great Wall was first built in the Northern Qi Dynasty (550–577), over 1,400 years ago. Around 650 years ago it was rebuilt and strengthened under the supervision of the famous General Xu Da during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It was by that time the longest among all sections of the Ming Dynasty, stretching 5,400 meters (3.4 miles).
On arrival, follow your tour guide and familiarize yourself with the different routes and options. Enjoy free time to explore independently. Admire stunning views of the mountains, hike the Great Wall and see different towers at your own pace. When it’s time, meet your guide and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
Your trip ends with a drop-off at your hotel in central Beijing.
