As you wind through the countryside, your guide will share interesting anecdotes about the Great Wall’s role in ancient China’s defense system.
Upon arrival, marvel at the wall’s rugged beauty, where over 96% of the surrounding area is blanketed in lush trees and fragrant orchards. Choose your preferred way to explore: hike between the imposing watchtowers for an immersive experience, glide effortlessly with a round-trip cable car ride, or add a dash of fun with a thrilling toboggan descent down the mountain. Pause at the top to soak in panoramic views of rolling green hills and the winding dragon-like wall stretching into the distance.
- One-sentence History: First constructed in the Northern Qi Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, Mutianyu Great Wall served as a crucial military stronghold and is now celebrated as one of the most well-preserved and scenic sections of the Great Wall.
Afternoon: Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) – A Royal Garden Masterpiece
After a delicious authentic Chinese lunch, head to the Summer Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the pinnacle of China’s classical royal gardens. Step into a world of serene lakes, elegant pavilions, and intricate architecture, where every corner tells a story of imperial luxury.
Hall of Benevolence and Longevity
Follow your guide to explore the palace’s iconic buildings, starting with the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. This grand hall once served as the main venue for the Empress Dowager Cixi to handle state affairs and receive officials. Admire its exquisite wood carvings and traditional imperial decorations as you learn about its historical significance.
- One-sentence History: Built in the Qing Dynasty, the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity was the political heart of the Summer Palace where the Empress Dowager Cixi exercised her power during the late Qing period.
Long Corridor of the Summer Palace
Next, wander along the Long Corridor—a 728-meter-long covered walkway hailed as the longest art gallery in the world. Every beam and rafter is adorned with colorful paintings depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, historical events, and folk tales. Your guide will point out famous artworks and share the fascinating stories behind them as you stroll in comfort.
- One-sentence History: Built in 1750 during the Qing Dynasty, the Long Corridor was originally designed to allow the imperial family to enjoy the garden’s scenery sheltered from sun and rain, with its paintings added later to showcase royal artistic taste.
Qingyan Marble Boat
Don’t miss the iconic Qingyan Marble Boat moored on the shores of Kunming Lake. This stunning stone structure, with its intricate wooden decorations and Western-style windows, looks like a real boat at first glance. Stop to take photos and listen to your guide’s tales about its symbolic meaning and role in imperial life.
