This day tour takes you by bus from central Beijing to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, a favorite among international travelers. At Mutianyu, which is well restored and relatively less crowded, you can walk the wall at your own pace for about 4 hours. An English, Spanish or Russian-speaking guide accompanies the tour, and there are no shopping stops. Depending on your option, you can add the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, Forbidden City or Temple of Heaven to see more of Beijing's landmarks in one day.

Meet your guide and check in at the subway exit for your option, then ride an air-conditioned bus to Mutianyu for about 1.5 hours. All tours run as group bus tours from fixed departure points, led by a professional guide.

With ticket-inclusive options you skip the ticket line and use the free shuttle bus inside the scenic area. After the guide explains how to go up, you have free time to explore the wall at your own pace. The cable car and toboggan are optional and paid separately on site.

After Mutianyu in the morning, visit the landmark of your option in the afternoon. Choose from the imperial Summer Palace (about 2 hours), the Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace (about 1.5 hours), the Forbidden City (about 3 hours) or the Temple of Heaven, where emperors made offerings to heaven (about 2 hours). Tickets and guide commentary for that landmark are included.

After the tour, the bus takes about 1.5 hours back and the tour ends near the Beijing National Stadium (国家体育场).
