Day 3: BEIJING – A Child’s Dream

Great Wall – Summer Palace 

Breakfast.

Excursion to the Great Wall at Mutianyu.

En route, enjoy a 30-minute introductory Chinese language lesson offered by your guide—enough to learn a few words of this complex language.

The Great Wall is known worldwide, surrounded by many myths. While it’s not actually visible from the Moon, this 6,000 km structure remains truly impressive. Its purpose is debated among historians—some view it as a transportation route between frontier garrisons, others as a defense against invasions from the steppes.

You’ll have 3 hours to explore this iconic site at your own pace. The section you will visit dates from the Ming Dynasty and offers magnificent views of the crenelated wall winding over the hills.

Ascent and descent on foot. (Optional: cable car or slideway)

Lunch at a local restaurant.

Visit the Summer Palace, located on the outskirts of Beijing, featuring poetic pavilions like “Orderly Clouds” and “Jade Waves.”

Dinner on your own. Overnight at the hotel.
