Summary

Meet your personal driver at Beijing International Airport and travel by private, climate-controlled vehicle to the Mutianyu section of China’s Great Wall. On route, hear snippets about Mutianyu from your driver. Dating to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), this beautifully restored segment snakes across wooded mountains, making it one of the most scenic sections. It’s also famous for the 23 densely spaced watchtowers stretched along its 1.8-mile (3-kilometer) expanse. After roughly 75 minutes, arrive and follow your driver on foot to the wall entrance. Then, opt to travel up and down from the ramparts by cable car or to ride the cable car up and toboggan run down (both own expense). On the ramparts, enjoy time to explore independently. Stroll the wide battlements, stopping to view the watchtowers and parapets along the way, and absorb the far-reaching mountain views. After about two hours, descend and travel on to a local Chinese restaurant. Savor traditional dishes like kung pao chicken (spicy chicken stir-fry), and if you wish, use the restaurant WiFi to share photos via your mobile. Your tour then finishes with a drop-off at Beijing airport where your driver will help you find your flight check-in counter.

Duration

5 hours - 8 hours

Why take this tour?

You may have only a few hours at the Beijing Airport, but how fortunate you are: The unparalled Mutianyu stretch of The Great Wall is only 70 mins drive from the airport. Fend off flight fatigue as you connect with the history and grandeur of one of the seven wonders of the world. Not. To. Be. Missed. And it's all easier than you think. Since late 2017, the visa-free transit policy has enabled travelers to visit Beijing and the surrounding areas for up to 6 days. Simply acquire a 72 or 144 hour visa-free transit exemption at the aiport's transfer service counter. Then meet us at the Starbucks on the 2nd floor of Terminal 3. . Those two steps – getting an exemption and making it to the starbucks usually take 1-2 hours.
