Mutianyu Great Wall is one of the most scenic and well-preserved sections of the Great Wall of China, and a favorite among international travelers. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling mountains, it offers breathtaking panoramic views in every season—from spring blossoms to golden autumn leaves. Unlike the crowded Badaling section, Mutianyu is known for its peaceful atmosphere, restored ancient watchtowers, and smoother walking paths, making it ideal for a relaxing and authentic experience. With fewer tourists, visitors can fully appreciate the Wall’s grandeur and history without the rush. Optional cable car and toboggan rides add fun and convenience. Whether you're a history lover, a nature enthusiast, or a first-time visitor, Mutianyu stands out as a must-see destination—where timeless beauty meets ancient heritage in perfect harmony.
Niaochao National Stadium

  • Admission ticket not included
The Beijing National Stadium, famously known as the Bird’s Nest, is an architectural marvel and a lasting symbol of the 2008 Olympic Games. Designed by renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, its striking steel lattice structure resembles a bird's nest, representing harmony, strength, and innovation. As the main venue for the Beijing Olympics, it hosted unforgettable moments in sports history and continues to impress visitors with its bold design and massive scale. By day, the stadium’s intricate curves are a photographer’s dream; by night, it glows beautifully against the city skyline. Whether you're a sports fan, architecture enthusiast, or cultural explorer, the Bird’s Nest offers a fascinating blend of modern creativity and Olympic spirit—making it a must-visit highlight of Beijing.
