• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for a tour of the Mutianyu Great Wall.

The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is ranked top on TripAdvisor among all the Great Wall sections, for its picturesque scenery and beautifully-restored architecture. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from downtown Beijing.

In order to save time for you, we arrange a round-trip cable car to ascend and descend the Wall, instead of spending about 40 minutes climbing steps. At the Wall, you have free time to walk around, after your guide does some introductions. The cable car ascends to and descends from tower 14.

Hike “the most beautiful and interesting part of the Great Wall” — between the 14th and 23rd watch towers — acknowledged by hikers as "the golden route".

Then descend and take a bus to transfer back to our vehicle. Today's lunch and dinner are arranged at the local Muslim restaurants.

After lunch, you will return to the city by car and visit the Niujie(Ox Street) Mosque in the afternoon. 

The Niujie Mosque, originally constructed about a thousand years ago, was entirely Arabic in architectural style. This mosque serves as the spiritual center for the 10,000 Muslims residing in the area. It stands as the largest and oldest mosque in Beijing.

However, over time, after numerous phases of reconstruction and renovation, elements of traditional Chinese architecture have gradually been incorporated. 

The afternoon prayer time at the Niujie Mosque is 6:30 p.m. After touring the mosque, you can participate in the prayer. Once the prayer ends, dinner will be served, and then you will be escorted back to your hotel to rest.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, you will embark on today's itinerary, visiting Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City in the morning.

Tian'anmen Square, the world's largest city square, resides at the heart of Beijing, with the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) to its north, demarcating it from the Forbidden City.

Encircled by formidable structures, it includes the Heavenly Gate, numerous museums, government edifices, and Chairman Mao's Mausoleum.

The Forbidden City, home to 24 emperors from 1368 to 1911, is a World Heritage Site. It stands as the largest and best-preserved ancient imperial architectural complex globally.

Today's lunch and dinner are arranged at the local Muslim restaurants.

After lunch, the guide will take you to Yaxiu Cloth Market for a tour and shopping experience.

Situated on Sanlitun Lu in Chaoyang District, near the northeastern embassy area, it resembles the Silk Market. This indoor, four-floor establishment is a hub for Beijing's clothing market.

Here, you can find a plethora of apparel and daily necessities, including calligraphy materials, army surplus gear, tea sets, farmer's paintings, and luggage.

The shopping experience at Yashow Clothing Market makes the afternoon pass swiftly.
