Itinerary
In the morning at 08:00 or 12:00 our guide and driver will meet you at your hotel in Beijing city area.
After hotel pickup, you will be escorted to Badaling Great Wall. That part of the Great Wall is 40km from Beijing and your drive will last about 40 minutes. It would be a good chance to see the urban and suburban scenery of the Chinese capital city. Badaling Great Wall is the most famous and the best-preserved section of the Chinese Ming Dynasty Great Wall. The mountain slope is very steep and the roads are tortuous, which made it an important military stronghold in ancient time. The wall is like a strong dragon winding its way along the mountain ranges. If hiking is too much for you, cable car is available and optional. And our guide will help you buy the ticket.
Today you will also pay a visit to the Jade Carving Factory to learn about Chinese jade culture and appreciate some exquisite jade artworks. Note: If you mind visiting the jade factory, please select the no-shopping option instead.
After visiting, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Beijing city area at around 13:00 or 17:00. Special note: If you want to start your tour at different time, please leave a special requirement at the time of booking.

About Beijing
Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.
At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.
Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
