Great Wall and Summer Palace Tour

  Meet your guide and driver in the hotel, first head to the Mutianyu Great Wall which is known for its beautiful surroundings - dense woods and rich pastures changing colors with the seasons of the year. Mutianyu Great Wall once worked as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs. It is a green section of the great wall in Beijing with vegetation, green pines and cypresses covering 90 per cent of the section. 

  There are 23 watchtowers on the Mutianyu Great Wall snaking the ridge for about 3000 meters. The watch towers at the Mutianyu Great Wall are distributed at short intervals. The 23 watch towers are numbered from right (east) to left (west). The 23rd tower is highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall.

  After lunch, head to Summer Palace. Visiting Summer Palace needs a bit strong legs with a lot walking since Summer Palace is huge.

  Dress for the hot or cold weather. The summer in Beijing could be humid and close, sometimes extremely hot. Also winter could be very cold. So well prepared for the uncomfortable weather both in winter and summer. You are advised to wear your most comfortable shoes.

  Summer Palace presents itself with different views for different seasons. Winter sees people skiing on the Kunming Lake; Spring time finds people breathe under fresh trees and flowers; Summer time often sees Summer Palace in a foggy day like a beautiful "water and mountain" Chinese scroll painting. Autumn is the best time walking around Summer Palace, clear and blue sky with comfortable weather.

  Summer Palace even at different times of a day allows you to see the different views under sunrise in the morning and sunset in the later afternoon.
