CN-PEKBLT6 – Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs-Dingling (Private)

Your day begins at 8:00 AM with a convenient hotel pickup by your local English-speaking tour guide and private driver.

First, journey to the spectacular Mutianyu Great Wall—a serene and less-crowded section famed for its breathtaking natural scenery. Over 96% of the area is covered in lush forest, creating a living canvas that changes with the seasons: mountains blossom with flowers in spring, hills glow emerald green in summer, autumn fills the trees with sweet fruit, and in October, the peaks are draped in golden reds and yellows. In winter, a pristine layer of snow transforms the Wall into a magnificent icy fortress. Take the cable car to the summit for a panoramic bird’s-eye view of this ancient wonder winding through the ridges.

After soaking in the grandeur of the Wall, enjoy a delicious authentic Chinese lunch at a charming local restaurant nestled near the historic Ming Tombs.

Next, explore the Ming Tombs—China’s best-preserved imperial burial complex, with over 500 years of history. You’ll visit Changling, the largest and most majestic tomb, built for Emperor Yongle, the visionary ruler who founded the Forbidden City and moved the capital to Beijing.

Later, head to the iconic National Stadium, affectionately known as the “Bird’s Nest.” Located in the Olympic Green Village in Chaoyang District, this architectural marvel—designed for the 2008 Beijing Olympics—offers a perfect opportunity to capture photos of its striking steel lattice exterior.

At the end of this unforgettable journey through nature, imperial legacy, and modern wonder, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
