Beijing Private Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall and China Aviation Museum

The journey, in full

Embark on a journey to the Great Wall at Mutianyu, departing from your hotel in the morning in the comfort of your private vehicle. Located approximately 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Beijing, Mutianyu offers a unique perspective on the Wall's history, dating back to the 6th century. During the scenic drive, your knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the construction of the Mutianyu section, which predates the more popular Badaling area. Upon arrival, you'll have the choice of taking a cable car round-trip or experiencing a chair lift up and a toboggan ride down. Once on the Wall, you'll have ample time to explore at your own pace, passing under some of the 23 towers and taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding woods. After your adventure on the Wall, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local Chinese restaurant before heading to the China Aviation Museum. Here, you'll discover a fascinating collection of over 200 aircraft relics, as well as an array of weapons and equipment, including missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, air defense radar, and aerial bombs. The museum's open-air layout allows for easy photography of the exhibits, which range from helicopters and fighter jets to larger aircraft situated near a picturesque lake. As the day draws to a close, your full-day tour concludes with a comfortable return to your centrally located hotel in Beijing.
