Activity itinerary

Mutianyu Great Wall
  • 3h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Discover the Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the most scenic and best-preserved sections of China’s legendary Great Wall and a proud UNESCO World Heritage site. Renowned for its dramatic mountain views, restored stonework, and tranquil environment, Mutianyu is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire Wall — a true gem of the "Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Wall." Surrounded by dense forests and gentle slopes, it offers breathtaking landscapes all year round. Unlike the often-crowded Badaling, Mutianyu provides a quieter, more relaxed hiking experience, making it a favorite among international travelers. You can walk along historic towers, take in sweeping views, ride a cable car, or enjoy a fun toboggan descent. Whether you're a lover of history, architecture, or nature, Mutianyu blends cultural legacy and natural beauty into a truly unforgettable visit. It’s a must-see for anyone exploring Beijing or experiencing the Great Wall for the first time.
Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)
  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Step into the Summer Palace, a stunning example of Chinese landscape garden design and a proud UNESCO World Heritage site. Once the royal retreat for Qing emperors, this vast imperial complex seamlessly blends natural scenery with graceful architecture. Wander along the peaceful banks of Kunming Lake, climb Longevity Hill for panoramic views, and explore timeless highlights like the Long Corridor, Marble Boat, and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. The palace grounds are dotted with elegant pavilions, ornate bridges, and traditional buildings that reflect centuries of imperial splendor. A boat ride on the lake offers a tranquil perspective of this grand retreat. Every path and structure reveals a story from China's dynastic past, making it not just a park but a living museum of Qing-era artistry. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, photography, or a leisurely cultural stroll, the Summer Palace offers a truly unforgettable experience — serene, majestic, and inspiring.
Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan)
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Explore Yuanmingyuan Park, also known as the Old Summer Palace, a powerful symbol of China’s imperial grandeur, cultural heritage, and historical resilience. Once known as the “Garden of Gardens,” this vast complex combined traditional Chinese landscaping with Western-style architecture, art, and innovation. Built during the Qing Dynasty, it was home to priceless treasures, elaborate halls, and magnificent fountains before being tragically destroyed by Anglo-French forces in 1860. Today, its evocative ruins, tranquil lakes, and reconstructed relics offer a profound educational experience, telling a story of splendor, loss, and national pride. Visitors can walk through historic remains, learn about cultural achievements and foreign invasions, and reflect on a pivotal moment in China’s modern history. More than a scenic park, Yuanmingyuan is a living classroom of history and cultural memory — a must-visit for those seeking a deeper understanding of China’s past and its enduring spirit.
