Great Wall at Mutianyu
Pick up at 9 am to see Mutianyu, the most beautiful section of the Great Wall, which is about 1.5 hours drive from Beijing. Mutianyu is pretty and less touristy, more popular with foreign visitors. Starting from June 28th, 2014, all the cars have to stop at the foot of the mountain and all visitors have to take the shuttle bus both ways to and from the previous parking lot. From the parking lot, it takes about 10 minutes to get on the cable car station and another 5 minutes to get on the Wall by cable car. After 2 hours walking on the Wall, lunch will be served in Xiaolongpu, a famous Chinese restaurant nearby.
Summer Palace
After lunch, drive for 1.5 hours to see the Summer Palace, the largest and best preserved imperial garden in China now. Inside the Summer Palace, we will also take a boat to see the Suzhou Street, where the eunuch and concubine used to disguise as sellers for the emperor to enjoy shopping by using a special kind of coin. On the way back the hotel, drive to the Olympic Stadiums and stop at a bridge to the west of the Water Cube, which is the best place to take pictures of the main buildings in the Olympic Village.
