Private Mutianyu Great Wall and Beijing Sightseeing Tour

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Mutianyu Great Wall, Mutianyu Road, Huairou District, Beijing China

Meet your private guide and personal driver at 9 am. You'll spend the 90-minute drive to the Great Wall at Mutianyu in climate-controlled comfort.

Less busy than the Great Wall at Badaling, this stretch of the UNESCO-listed Great Wall is famous for its dazzling scenery and rich forests. In spring, flowers bloom on the mountainside; in summer, grasses dress the hills in green; October is perhaps the most beautiful month of autumn, as the leaves turn red, yellow, and gold. The Great Wall is also magnificent in winter, when it's covered in snow, and affords a brilliant insight into the lives of the warriors who guarded it long ago.

After the Great Wall, your guide will recommend some options for lunch, which is at your own expense.

In the afternoon, choose which Beijing sights you'd like to see: your guide will provide suggestions based on your interests, how much time remains, and current traffic conditions. Popular classic options include the UNESCO-listed Summer Palace, where generations of emperors retreated to beat the heat, and the Temple of Heaven, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, where emperors prayed for good harvest and good fortune.

Alternatively, see Tibetan monks in action at the Lama Temple (Yonghegong) and explore the surrounding web of hutong alleyways. Or you might prefer to explore the Olympic Park, including the Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) and Aquatics Center (Water Cube).

Your private tour ends when your driver and guide bid you farewell at your hotel.

Duration: 8 hours
