Mutianyu Great Wall
We will pick you up from your Beijing hotel, It takes 1.5 hours to the Wall from Beijing downtown. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is a little further from Beijing than the most popular section at Badaling, but it doesn't get as crowded. This section of the Wall is fully restored, there are hand rails to help you up on the very steep parts and the views are spectacular.
Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling)
After the Great Wall, we will visit the Ming Tombs. There are three parts are opened to public, the Sacred Way, Changling Tomb and Dingling Tomb. The Sacred Way is the first attraction of Ming Tombs,which is a main way leading to the thirteen imperial tombs inside the scenic area. The two lines of stone lifelike sculptures (12 beasts and 6 officials) on both sides are the highlight of the Sacred Way which are quite popular with visitors. Among the Ming Tombs,Changling is the largest, earliest and most magnificent with best preserved found constructions. Dingling is the only one that the underground palace was excavated. You will visit one of them based on your interests. After finishing your trip to Great Wall and the Ming Tombs, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

The tour was excellent! Jessica is really great. She is so knowledgeable and gave us all the history and stories we wanted. She is also very friendly and kind and made the whole day really lovely. This was my second trip to the Great Wall, but I enjoyed it more because of the stories Jessica told us. The Ming tombs are also reslly cool, it's so peaceful and reallt beautiful walking along the sacred path. I highly recommend this trip!
