Itinerary

Mutianyu Great Wall

4 hours Admission included

Your English-speaking guide will meet you in your hotel lobby at 8:00 AM for a comfortable private drive to Mutianyu Great Wall (approximately 1.5 hours).

Mutianyu is one of the most scenic and best-preserved sections of the Great Wall, far less crowded than Badaling, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Hike along a 700-meter stretch of wall featuring 22 historic watchtowers, with inclines reaching up to 140 meters. Your guide will bring the wall's fascinating history to life — explaining how this section was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty, the military strategy behind its design, and the significance of each watchtower.

You can walk up via the stone steps or take the cable car (own expense, recommended). For the adventurous, the famous toboggan ride back down is a thrilling highlight not to be missed!
Olympic Park

2 hours

After a satisfying traditional Chinese lunch at a local restaurant, head to Beijing's iconic 2008 Olympic Park — one of the most celebrated modern landmarks in the world.

Admire the stunning architecture of the Bird's Nest (National Stadium), whose intricate steel lattice design made it one of the most talked-about structures of its generation. See the breathtaking Water Cube (National Aquatics Center), famous for its striking blue bubble-like exterior that lit up the world during the 2008 Olympic swimming and diving competitions.

Your guide will share the fascinating story behind how Beijing transformed itself to host the Games, and what these landmark buildings mean to China today. A perfect contrast to the ancient history of the Great Wall — ancient and modern Beijing in one day.
