Private Tour: Half-Day Tour to Great Wall at Juyongguan

Depart from your Beijing hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and travel to the Great Wall of China; a structural masterpiece considered one of China’s most significant. Disembark the minivan and spend a moment gazing at the wall, cradled by verdant mountains and dramatic valleys covered in lush greenery.  Set out on your moderate 2-hour hike with your accomplished guide and listen to captivating commentary as you climb the Juyongguan section; hear of how the area served as a military stronghold and was the site of many bloody battles. Ascend to the Cloud Platform, a majestic area in which an arched doorway and engraved sutra scriptures reign supreme.  Spend some relaxed free time admiring the carvings of heavenly gods and capture picturesque views of exotic flowers on camera before returning to the hike’s start point. Enjoy a well-deserved rest during the journey back to Beijing, stopping off at the Olympic Stadium (Birds Nest) and the Beijing National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) to see significant cultural institutions from the 2008 Olympics.  Bid your private guide farewell as you disembark at your hotel with magical memories of your day.
