Beijing: An Insiders Perspective Tour Overview

The capital of one of the world’s greatest empires for hundreds of years, Beijing has never ceased to capture the imagination of the world. Nearly every major building within the capital has some sort of historical significance, from ornate palaces and imperial temples to the rustic surrounding 'hutong' (neighbourhoods). A city built for power, the structures old and new are meant to dazzle and impress. Beijing itself is intimately connected to China, from the seat of political power to the cultural centrepiece of the nation, a trend continuing to the modern day.

 

Discover some of the highlights of Beijing including the Great Wall on this private day trip with flight from Shanghai. Visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and amble around the restored Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China with your professional private guide. You’ll be amazed by the historical and cultural riches to be found in the capital of China.

Afterward, enjoy a traditional Chinese cuisine lunch served at a nearby establishment.Once you finish your lunch, we will drive to the less-crowded Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China, located 56 miles (90 km) from Beijing.

​

Take in spectacular views surrounding the Mutianyu Great Wall, which stretches 3,370 miles (6,000 km) westward from the mountain ridges north of Beijing, and learn how the Great Wall of China was originally built more than 2,000 years ago to ward off Hun intruders from the north.
