Today let's explore the Great Wall at Mutianyu section, a representative segment of this great military construction, and the highlight of this private 7 days China itinerary.

Standing on the beacon tower, you can have an imposing view of the surrounding mountains. You will always remember this amazing visit.

As the nearby restaurants are not so good, lunch has not been arranged. For that reason we suggest you bring some snacks with you. Alternatively, there are fast food outlets near the wall and our guide will be happy to offer suggestions.
