About this activity
This tour includes Day & Night Great Wall experiences, 2 premium evening shows, and a Hutong culinary walking activity. Unlike standard day tours, our private guide and private transfers service stay with you into the night to unlock the city’s vibrant evening culture and history.
What makes this tour unique is the dual-aspect Great Wall view, allowing you to see the ancient structures under the daytime sun and witness the illuminated beauty of the Simatai section after dark. While standard tours avoid distant sections to cut costs, our itinerary invests the extra travel time to bring you to the breathtaking, crowd-free Jinshanling section.
You will enjoy a seamless experience with extended hours, as your dedicated guide and private transfers service stay with you well past standard daytime hours to handle all night logistics. This 3-night program maximizes your evenings with two live evening performances, a Hutong culinary tour, and an evening Great Wall visit.

Originally built between 1406 and 1420 during the Ming dynasty, the complex comprises 980 surviving buildings and is the largest collection of ancient wooden architecture in the world.
