Itinerary

  • Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

    Your tour begins with pickup from your Beijing hotel at a 8:00am. Traveling by private vehicle and start the first attraction: Tian'anmen Square,a large city-center square in the world, home to the Monument to the People's Heroes and the National Museum of China.  It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several key events in Chinese history.

    30 minutes

  • Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Wander the square on foot with your guide, then passing through the south gate to the Forbidden City, bypass the long lines and whisk directly inside with your pre-booked entrance ticket. Begin your exploration of the world's largest imperial Palace, where the Ming and Qing Emperors resided for more than 500 years. It is the largest and best-preserved Imperial Palace in the world.  Please Note: all traveler names and passport number required. You MUST provide your above info upon booking, in case the tickets are sold out. You MUST have your passport with you for attending this tour.

    2 hours 30 minutes

  • Great Wall at Huanghuacheng

    Afterwards, driving about 1.5 hours to have lunch in a nice non-tourist restaurant near the Great Wall. Then start the 2-3 hours hiking at Huanghuacheng Water Wall, the only section of China’s Great Wall that runs alongside, and is partially submerged in a lake. Usually, Badaling, Mutianyu and Simatai come to mind when one thinks of the Great Wall. These sections have become hot tourist spots after being renovated. But Huanghuacheng is largely unrestored since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), this segment is one of prettiest yet least crowded near Beijing, making it great for hiking. Your tour ends with hotel drop-off.

Your guide

Published on Jun, 2024

Our tour guide Kevin made our visit to the Great Wall of China unforgettable. Their enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the history behind the wall brought the ancient stones to life kevin was patient with our questions and ensured everyone in our group had a chance to explore at their own pace. They took us to less crowded sections of the wall, allowing us to enjoy the stunning views without feeling rushed. We appreciated kevin's attention to detail and dedication to providing a memorable experience. If you're planning a trip to the Great Wall, we highly recommend booking a tour with kevin.

My dream to know The Chinese Wall

Published on Jul, 2019

I hired this tour service without knowing that it would take me the surprise of having the Chinese Wall for my friends and me. We enjoyed the wall just for ourselves and took incredible photos. Excellent service from our guide Lucy. I recommend it.
