What you can expect

The Great Wall is a must-visit attraction in China and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. For this private day tour, you can pick between two renowned sections: Badaling Great Wall features grand scale and convenient access, while Mutianyu Great Wall offers well-preserved architecture and scenic views.

We offer 4 flexible tour packages to suit your preferences:
Badaling Great Wall + Dingling or Changling (Ming Tombs)
Badaling Great Wall + Sacred Way + Dingling or Changling (Ming Tombs)
Mutianyu Great Wall + Dingling or Changling (Ming Tombs)
Mutianyu Great Wall + Sacred Way + Changling (Ming Tombs)

Itinerary
Your private guide and driver will meet you at your Beijing hotel lobby, then drive to your selected Great Wall section—a 1.5-hour journey where your guide will share fascinating historical stories about the wall.

On arrival, take a cable car to ascend the wall (for Mutianyu, you can opt for a ski lift or slide down after your visit instead). Your guide will lead you to explore different watchtowers, revealing the legendary tales behind this ancient defensive structure. You will also have free time to take photos and snap iconic check-in shots at your own pace. Afterwards, take the cable car (or slide for Mutianyu) to descend the wall.

Next, enjoy a delicious local lunch before heading to the Ming Tombs—a UNESCO World Heritage Site scattered at the foot of Tianshou Mountain, home to 13 imperial mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty.

Your visit here has two options:
Option 1 (with Sacred Way): Start with the Sacred Way, a grand avenue lined with stone statues of humans and animals, which served as the ceremonial path for imperial funeral processions in ancient times.
Option 2 (without Sacred Way): Directly visit either Dingling or Changling. Dingling is the only excavated Ming imperial tomb, where you can wander through the magnificent Underground Palace and admire rare antiques in the on-site museum. Changling is the largest and most imposing mausoleum in the complex, famous for its exquisite wooden architecture and grand imperial halls that showcase the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the tour, your driver will transfer you back to your Beijing hotel safely.
