In the late morning, guests will be picked up from their hotels in Beijing to begin this tour. Today, we will head to the Great Wall of China at its Mutianyu location. In order to more easily enjoy the panoramic views, we include convenient access up and down by cable car. On the journey to Mutianyu, we will stop at the Jade Factory and learn about the ancient culture of Chinese jade. For lunch, we will savor a typical home-style meal served in a farmer's courtyard. On the return journey we will experience a traditional and relaxing tea ceremony. Then, we will return to Beijing, where the tour will come to an end. Please see "Departure and Return" for more detailed information regarding pickup and drop-off times and locations.
With more than 20 million people, China's capital is one of the most populated cities in the world. Beijing is an incredibly ancient city, and its stylized architecture, opulent gardens, and more have made it a popular tourism locale.
Built in the 6th century CE under the Northern Qi Dynasty, this is one of the oldest sections of the Great Wall of China near Beijing. It is located in a hilly, mountainous area covered in dense forests.
