Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour

Meet your guide and driver in the hotel lobby (please share your hotel address, we will pickup and dropoff at metro station if your hotel located outside of third ring road), first head to the Mutianyu Great Wall which is known for its beautiful surroundings - dense woods and rich pastures changing colors with the seasons of the year. Mutianyu Great Wall once worked as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs. It is a green section of the great wall in Beijing with vegetation, green pines and cypresses covering 90 per cent of the section.

There are 23 watchtowers on the Mutianyu Great Wall snaking the ridge for about 3000 meters. The watch towers at the Mutianyu Great Wall are distributed at short intervals. The 23 watch towers are numbered from right (east) to left (west). The 23rd tower is highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall.

We will stop at a local village near the Great Wall to have authentic Chinese lunch.

After lunch, head to Summer Palace. Dress for the hot or cold weather. The summer in Beijing could be humid, sometimes extremely hot. Also winter could be very cold. So well prepared for the uncomfortable weather both in winter and summer. You are advised to wear your most comfortable shoes.

Summer Palace presents itself with different views for different seasons. Winter sees people skiing on the Kunming Lake; Spring time finds people breathe under fresh trees and flowers; Summer time often sees Summer Palace in a foggy day like a beautiful "water and mountain" Chinese scroll painting. Autumn is the best time walking around Summer Palace, clear and blue sky with comfortable weather.

Drive back to your hotel when we finish the tour.
