This private day trip covers two important historical sites near Beijing over about eight to nine hours. The first stop is the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, located about 1.5 hours from downtown Beijing. This fully restored part of the Wall offers broad views and pleasant surroundings. Visitors can choose to take a cable car or chair lift to reach the Wall and spend time walking along its length. Returning from the Wall includes an optional toboggan ride down. After exploring the Great Wall, the tour continues with lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Following the meal, the group visits the Summer Palace, a large imperial garden featuring pavilions, mansions, temples, bridges, and a wide lake. The gardens and buildings are arranged around the water in a natural layout. Visitors can stroll through these areas and learn about their history. Between April and October, a Dragon Boat ride on the lake is available for an additional cost. The tour includes a professional guide, private vehicle transport, entrance fees, lunch, and hotel or port pickup and drop-off. After the Summer Palace visit, travelers are returned to their original pickup location. The tour operates regardless of weather conditions but may be adjusted if the Great Wall is closed for safety reasons during summer, in which case an alternative wild section is offered or a full refund is provided.
