Mutianyu Great Wall and Underground Palace Layover Tour From Beijing Airport

Upon your arrival at Beijing International Airport, our guide will be there, holding a personalized sticker with your name, eagerly waiting to greet you at the exit.

We'll then embark on a scenic one-hour drive to reach the Mutianyu Great Wall. Mutianyu stands out with its remarkable 22 watchtowers along a 1.4-mile stretch, surpassing the usual number found on other sections of the Great Wall. Its fortifications on both sides, complete with inner and outer barriers crenelated with merlons, are truly fascinating. This unique feature showcases the strategic military value of the Great Wall. If you wish to ascend to the highest point, a cable car ride is available as an optional treat.

After enjoying a delightful Chinese lunch, we'll drive to Dingling Tomb. Here, you'll explore the Underground Palace, the mausoleum of Zhu Yijun, the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His 48-year reign marked the longest leadership in his dynasty's history. Historic records reveal that the total costs for the tomb exceeded 8 million taels (300 tonnes) of silver, equivalent to the entire duty earnings of authorities for two years. Although Ding Ling Tomb is the third largest tomb after Chang Ling and Yong Ling, its exquisite decorations far surpass the other two. After the two-hour tour, you'll have 45 minutes to visit the Jade Carving Factory, renowned for its special local products steeped in the rich history of Chinese traditional culture.

Finally, we'll ensure a seamless transfer back to Beijing Airport for your onward flight.
