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 that look north toward Mongolia.The Great Wall at Mutianyu was built and restored in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), on the remnants of a Wall originally built in the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577). Reconstruction took place under the supervision of Xu Da, one of the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, who was responsible for building a Wall from Shanhaiguan in the east to as far as Mutianyu. The Ming pass at Mutianyu was officially proclaimed in 1404, where is would serve as an important symbol of protection from marauding nomads to the north.

Stop at a Local Restaurant for lunch. Huairou district is famous for their chestnut ,mushroom and trout.Here you will have various choice of countryside style of cuisine

Then Visit the Ming tombs -- Dingling.Dingling was built in 1590. Emperor Shen Zong and the empress were buried there in 1620. After it was built, the underground palace was covered with deep soil.

On the Way back to your hotel, drive pass by the Olympic Stadium for photos for a little bit.

This was our first day in China. Anson was amazing and very accommodating. Always had cold water waiting for us after every stop. And he took us to one of the best lunch we have EVER had. Because of Anson, and his stories, this was the best day for us in China.

Seeing the great wall was an exceptional experience and lunch at a local restaurant was very good. Our guide, Albert, was wonderful. I would give him the highest rating. He was very personable and knowledgeable. Albert spoke excellent English, and was able to discuss Chinese culture along with facts about the various sites. He seemed to enjoy his job and catered to our desires. We preferred to maximize our time at the great wall and hike a portion of the wall so Albert ensured that we had plenty of time at the great wall. The private tour bypassed the jewelry and other shops so we could focus on what we wanted to see. If you are not interested in the tourist shops, I would choose a private tour.
