Start your day with a visit to the majestic Temple of Heaven, a sacred site for the royal family. This stunning complex of Taoist buildings was where emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties came to pray for bountiful harvests. As you stroll through the park, you’ll feel the energy of the morning. Local seniors gather here to sing, exercise, and practice tai chi, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Next, we’ll drive out to the famous Great Wall at the Mutianyu Section. This section is a top favorite on TripAdvisor, known for its breathtaking views and beautifully restored architecture. It’s also the most family-friendly section, offering fun ways to explore.

To make your visit even easier, we’ve arranged a round-trip cable car ride, so you can skip the 40-minute climb and enjoy the stunning scenery right away. Once you reach the Wall, you’ll have some free time to wander and take in the sights after your guide shares some fascinating insights.
