Itinerary

Book your required option, and on arrival at Beijing airport, hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle. Then, make the scenic journey to the Mutianyu section of China’s UNESCO-listed Great Wall. Your tour duration will be timed to get you back to the airport two hours before your onward flight departure.

Less crowded than the Badaling segment of the wall, the restored Mutianyu stretch dates to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and is considered one of the most scenic and less crowded sections. Snaking along mountain ridges and notable for its densely spaced watch towers, it boasts crenelated parapets on both sides—a rarity on other parts of the wall.

On arrival, choose a round-trip cable car up to and down from the ramparts, or a cable car ride up and descent by toboggan—riding a toboggan-style cart down the hillside (All-inclusive package).

Then, take a guided or independent walk along the battlements (depending on option selected). Stride along the ramparts, admiring the watchtowers and stunning mountain views.

Finally, continue to a local restaurant for a Chinese lunch (depending on option selected) and journey back to the airport, where your tour finishes with a drop-off.

Tony Wang - is the Best! :-)

Matthias_H, Mar 2026

Tony Wang was the best guide you can think off. The tour was private and very interesting and Tony super friendly and very knowledgeable. This clearly was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Excellent private tour for a short layover in Beijing.

Mr.Ping from Leo’s private tour. Great tour if you have a short layover in Beijing. Easy pick up at airport, good communication with guide. Absolutely stunning experience to see one of the great wonders of the world. Highly recommended.
