OVERVIEW

The Great Wall at Mutianyu is not as crowded as the nearby Badaling or Juyongguan sections of the Wall. In late afternoon, or in poor weather, you often might find yourself alone with only the sound of the wind to keep you company. Travel back in time and see the Wall as it was when it was built hundreds of years ago. The Forbidden City is the largest royal palace in the world and this tour provides you with 4 hours to explore the site as we cover both the west, east and central line. You will be able to board the Meridian Gate to get a closer look at the turrets of elegant buildings, visit museums, explore the distinctive royal garden and the royal family residence. In the afternoon, you will be guided to the beautiful Summer Palace, which previously existed as the vacation spot for the royal family. During your visit to the Summer Palace you can admire the halls, courtyards, pavilions, temples and wooded hillsides of this opulent lakeside.
