1. Expect to be picked up from your hotel by your professional hiking guide around 8.30 am and driven directly to the site of the Ming tombs, the burial site of 13 of the Ming Dynasty Emperors - about 1.5 hours from the city. It covers an area of 30 acres (12 ha). The Ding Tombs is the only one open to the public. Marvel at the entrance, known as The Sacred or Spirit Way, a walkway lined with some 36 impressively sized statures; important officials and meritorious figures, exotic animals- lions, camels, elephants, xiezhis, (a mythological unicorn) and the like, each unique or of special significance, which your guide will happily explain.

2. Emperor Wanli, the 13th Ming Emperor had the longest reign of the period ruling for 48 years. His tomb, at 89 feet below ground is well preserved and extravagant. Unusual for a burial place it has five rooms. Some of the Emperor’s jewels and other artefacts are on display. Break for lunch at a local Chinese restaurant before enjoying a scenic drive to the Great Wall at Huanghuacheng, a section of the wall less visited, even in Summer time, and still in its original or ‘wild’ condition, unrestored

3. On arrival at Xishuiyu village, your guide will show you the best path to ascend the ramparts and navigate them safely. The wall here follows quite mountainous terrain and affords quite a spectacular hiking experience. Marvel at the breath taking scenery and view of the wall cascading into the man-made lake below. When summer arrives the entire village below becomes a sea of wild, yellow flowers ('yellow flower' is 'huanghua' in Chinese), hence this section’s name. Overall the pristine setting, lack of crowds, and cool, clear mountain air make this tour a pleasant contrast from visits to other sections of the Wall. After your descent you’ll be free to wander down by the lake, take a boat ride to see the submerged section of the wall up close or simply return back to your hotel in Beijing, approximately 1.5 hours away where your guide will wish you a fond farewell.

About Peking

Peking, seit Jahrhunderten Hauptstadt, bietet Kaiserpaläste, heilige Tempel und Abschnitte der Großen Mauer nahe den modernen Boulevards.

Im Herzen der Stadt breitet sich die Verbotene Stadt hinter zinnoberroten Mauern aus, ein Labyrinth aus Hallen und Höfen, in dem die Kaiser der Ming- und Qing-Dynastie lebten. Der Platz des Himmlischen Friedens liegt südlich davon, und der Hügel des Jingshan-Parks im Norden bietet den schönsten Blick über ihre goldenen Dächer. Der Himmelstempel in einem Park, in dem Einheimische Tai-Chi üben und tanzen, ist ein Meisterwerk kaiserlicher Baukunst.

Top-ranked sights in Peking: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
