About this activity
Your tour guide will pick you up from your Beijing city hotel's lobby at 8:00 am, aboard the comfortable air-conditioned private vehicle heading directly to Mutianyu Great Wall.
On the way to the Mutianyu Great Wall, if time allows, you are able to stop to take photos at the iconic "Bird's Nest"– the Beijing National Stadium, where hosts many spectacular events of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Once arrive at the The Mutianyu Great Wall, you’ll enjoy a less hurried experience and take time to marvel at this wondrous structure and the surrounding hillsides. Accompanied by your tour guide to explore the watch and beacon towers, your guide will also tell the related histories along the way. Feel free to ask questions if you have.
Mutianyu is a bit more rugged and slightly less crowded than the more famous Badaling. Over 96% of Mutianyu is covered by trees and orchards, keeping the air fragrant with chestnut blossoms in the spring and fresh all year long.
Then, heading back to city, stop at one of the Beijing's most famous dum sum restaurant to fill your empty stomach.
Afterwards, you will visit one of the world’s most important Tibetan Buddhist temple - Lama Temple. Previously the residence of Count Yin Zhen, who became Emperor Yongzheng in 1723. In 1744 after Yongzheng's death in 1735, the buildings became a lamasery staffed by monks from Tibet and Mongolia. Admire the huge wood-carved "Maidala Buddha" and hear how the statue was carved out of a single sandal wood with your tour guide.
After the tour finished, your will be transferred back to your hotel in Beijing city.
