About this experience
"He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true Chinese," as the saying goes. And locals insist: "Without visiting the wall, you won't feel the spirit of the Celestial Empire." I invite you to test this statement for yourself and understand how true it is. We will climb the magnificent structure and then explore the beauty of the Summer Palace of the Emperors and the garden-park art of China.
What to Expect
Great Chinese Wonder (Juyongguan Section)
You will see the most important symbol of the country - the Great Wall of China, which wraps around the slopes of the Yanshan mountain range like a stone dragon. You will ascend one of its sections built during the Ming dynasty era. Hear true stories and numerous legends about the wall.
Summer Palace of the Emperors
The summer residence of the emperors of the Qing, Yuan, and Qin dynasties is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Its scale is impressive - 290 hectares and over 3000 structures. You will admire pavilions, palace halls, pergolas, terraces, and winding galleries, and get acquainted with Chinese garden-park art.
