Join this four-day tour to discover the essence of Beijing, a city that seamlessly blends culture and history with modernism and innovation. Visit the Forbidden City, the world’s largest palace complex, and hike along the best-preserved section of Great Wall: the Mutianyu section, which boasts breath-taking scenery. This tour offers you the flexibility you need to spend some free time wandering the streets of vibrant Beijing by yourself or choosing from a range of optional tours.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Forbidden City: The largest and best-preserved palatial complex of the imperial era, the Forbidden City once served as the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties

Great Wall: One of the eight wonders of the world, this immense wall was built both to keep out invaders and to retain the inhabitants. Stroll along the most beautiful part of the wall: the Mutianyu section

Day 1: ARRIVAL BEIJING

Arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport. Upon arrival, a representative will be waiting to greet you at the airport and accompany you on the transfer to the city. The private transfer will take you directly to your hotel in Beijing. Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure in the city. Take the opportunity to rest and recover after the flight or head out into the city for your first glimpse of life in China’s sprawling capital city

Overnight in Beijing.

Day 2: BEIJING (Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall Tour)

After breakfast at the hotel, we will pick you up at about 8:00 in the morning to visit the Forbidden City. After a 30-minute-to-1-hour-long ride, we’ll spend an hour and a half exploring the halls and gardens of the largest ancient palatial structure in the world, the best-preserved imperial palace in China and a site of great historical importance. Then, travel northeast for a couple of hours until reaching the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Contemplate the stunning views of the Yanshan Mountains before enjoying lunch and a walk along the Great Wall. You can spend about two and a half hours taking in the spectacular scenery and roaming the walls. The Mutianyu Great Wall is one of the best-preserved and best-known Great Wall sections, with breath-taking scenery and fewer tourists than other parts of the Wall. Afterwards, you’ll be driven back to your hotel, where you’ll be dropped off at around 19:00, just in time for dinner (not included) and to further explore the surroundings at leisure.

Overnight in Beijing.

After finishing your breakfast at the hotel, get ready to enjoy a full day at leisure in the city of Beijing.

Optional Tour A: Hutong tour in the morning that includes a rickshaw ride in the old quarter of ancient Beijing, where you’ll also visit a local family. Later in the day, visit the Temple of Heaven. Then, after lunch (included), visit the Maliandao Tea Street, the biggest tea market in Northern China. Pop into a tea house to experience and make your own tea brick. As well as tasting several kinds of teas, you will also meet a tea master and learn more about the history of Chinese tea.
