We offer two options for this tour—both include a visit to the Great Wall and a cuddly panda encounter at Beijing Panda House (no need to fly to Chengdu). Please choose based on your preference when booking: Option 1: Mutianyu Great Wall – Beloved for its well-preserved architecture, lush scenery, and fewer crowds, it’s ideal for soaking in the grandeur of this ancient wonder. Option 2: Badaling Great Wall – Enjoy exclusive VIP access (special shuttle bus and cable car) to skip all lines, ensuring a smoother, hassle-free experience.

Your English - speaking guide and private car will pick you up in the lobby of your hotel bright and early. Since pandas are most active in the morning, our first stop will be the Panda House located in the western part of the city. The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family and is among the world's most endangered animals. Listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Species, there are only about 1,600 giant pandas left in the world, and you'll have the wonderful opportunity to observe some of them here. After the panda visit, we'll head to a local restaurant for lunch, which will take around 40 minutes.

If you choose to visit Mutianyu Great Wall, we will then head to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. The journey takes approximately 1.5 hours, and during the drive, your guide will share interesting stories about the Great Wall. Upon arrival, you will follow the guide to take either the cable car or ski lift up to the top of the wall. The guide will stay with you to explain the Great Wall’s history as you explore the watchtowers, and you will also have free time to take photos. For the descent, you can choose to take the cable car or ski lift again, or opt for the thrilling toboggan ride—please note that during peak seasons, the wait time for the toboggan may be over an hour. After the Great Wall visit, we will drive you back to your hotel.

If you choose to visit Badaling Great Wall, our exclusive VIP access ensures a hassle-free journey: a dedicated shuttle bus will take you directly to the cable car entrance, allowing you to skip all queues and head straight up to the Great Wall. The journey to Badaling takes approximately one and a half hours, and during the drive, your guide will share interesting stories related to the Great Wall. Upon reaching the wall, you will follow the guide to explore the watchtowers while learning about its rich history, and you will also have free time to take photos at your leisure. For the descent, you will take the cable car again (with no waiting in lines, thanks to our VIP service). After the visit, we will drive you back to your hotel.
