About this experience
In China, there is a saying: 'He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true hero'. It is the country's most iconic attraction. We will gladly be your guides as we walk along the 'Juyongguan' section, learn about the history of the wall, see its ancient towers, and enjoy magnificent views. Then we will visit the Confucius temple and delve into the ancient philosophy of Confucianism.
What to Expect
Great Wall of China
You will ascend the world's most famous wall and walk along the popular 'Juyongguan' section, enjoying the surrounding mountain panoramas. We will share the story of how and why the wall was built, how many centuries it took to complete, and which dynasties were involved. We will show you the battlements, watchtowers, gates, and firing points, revealing whether they were ever used for their intended purpose.
Confucius Temple
We will visit the second largest temple in China dedicated to Confucius. You will see statues of the great philosopher and his disciples, inscriptions of ancient texts in stone, and traditional Chinese musical instruments. We will share stories from Confucius' life, explain the main ideas of his philosophical works, and discuss their impact on China's spiritual life.
Tea Ceremony
After the walk, you will relax, taste different types of tea, and enrich your knowledge of Chinese tea culture.
