Even being a foreigner here you do not have to worry about your ability to participate in our tour. We do not require our group members to stay exclusively at a hotel. You may choose a private apartment as your accommodation, but be ready to come to the nearest hotel at 7:30-8:00am as we meet our participants only at hotel lobbies and only within the central part of the city. There will be your name on a table in the hands of our representative. Whether you live far from downtown Beijing area, you need to contact our manager in advance and find out a possible solution of this aspect. Moreover, do not forget that our representative will phone you in the evening prior to the day tour to inform you on all details about tomorrow’s pick-up. Please, ask the tour manager in advance whether your hotel is within the area of the company’s pickup service.
Our first stop will be the Ming Tomb. The name speaks for itself as it has been a burial site for several generations of the royal rulers of China for the last six hundred years. Here you will see personal mausoleums of several emperors and other impressive constructions with tombs and even labyrinths.
This section of the Wall was constructed in the 14th century and represents the epoch of the Ming Dynasty. Being around 15 kilometers long it is considered one of the most unique and authentic parts of this greatest construction of all times. Now the Jinshanling section is even included into the UNESCO list of the greatest man-made objects on the planet.
The Jade plant will be our next destination, where we will first have a lunch and then spend a little bit more than a half-hour to see the mastership of Chinese jewelry makers that carve different items and souvenirs out of this authentic mineral. The craft is 2 thousand years old and is considered traditional for the country.
Mutianyu Great Wall will introduce us the breathtaking outskirts of Beijing area and the natural beauty of these places. It is not only a 50-mile-long section of the Wall, but also an area famous for its virgin nature with forests and green pastures that you’ll enjoy looking from the height of the Wall. The centuries back, it was a strong barrier between the capital and the rest of the territory invaded by different tribes and nomads.
Our final destination for the day will be a silk museum. Women love this place most of all. You can hardly imagine how experienced the Chinese craftsmen were in everything that dealt with silk. In the end, you will be safely brought back to your hotel at around 6:00pm.
