This tour takes you to two of the most popular tourist sites in Beijing: Forbidden City and the Mutianyu Great Wall. Following these amazing attractions, you’ll treat yourself with an amazing foot massage.
You’ll meet your guide at your hotel, and we will bring you to Tian’anmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace to experience some of the most amazing sites of one of the greatest empires in the world. These sites will help you understand just how impressive China’s history is, and you’ll be able to gain a deeper understanding of it with our tour guide’s explanation. In imperial China, only the emperor, deemed the ‘son of heaven,’ was allowed to pass through the central meridian gate into the palace. However, today, you can also experience the majestic palace fit for emperors, first-hand.
After this, the drive to the wall is about 1.5 hours, where we will have lunch at a local restaurant and continue to visit the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Visitors to Beijing love the Great Wall, and for a good reason: it is one of the wonders of the world. Did you know that the Great Wall is the longest piece of architecture in the world, stretching from east China’s coast to west China’s desert? As you stand on the top tower and look at the wall snaking its way across the tops of the mountains, it’s incredible to imagine that once these walls protected the Chinese empire’s land from different invaders. At Mutianyu, you can hike up the side of mountain to the wall, and pass several different watch towers for different views. On the way down, you can either walk, take the cable cars, or get the tobbogan.
After lunch, we will take you to a Silk Factory where experts will help you see the process of silk making, from silkworm to finished product. Your guides can also help you explain how everything is made, and it’s the perfect place to get some souvenirs for friends and families at home. You’ll gain an understanding of the different qualities of silk, to make sure that you don’t get ripped off.
Finally, it will be time for a foot massage at your hotel after we bring you back. This will revive your feet so that you are ready to continue exploring the next day, regardless of how much walking you want to do!
