The Tour We Join: Mutianyu Great Wall & Forbidden City Private Day Tour

1 day trip to visit Great Wall and Forbidden City was a perfect combination! Two must visit sites in China that everyone should not miss when come to the capital, Beijing. So here there are some pictures of mine that I took during the tour. So lets the pictures do tell the story.

Tiananmen Square

We walked from our guesthouse to Tiananmen Square and walked through the Gate of Supreme Harmony, which sports a nice portrait of Chairman Mao.

Forbidden City

Walked deep more inside here right in front of us, the most magnificent structures of Forbidden City called Hall of Supreme Harmony. As one of the magnificent halls of Three Great Halls in Outer Court, this hall was used as the place where hold several important ceremonies during Ming and Qing Dynasty of China.

Forbidden City

As Forbidden City houses lots of artworks and heritage, strolling through the palace was like explore the art museum. Lots of majestic and unique design likes this lion statue above.

Forbidden City

Like even loves every detail of Forbidden City! That was my conclusion for a short trip to this ancient imperial palace. Countless little details, colors, and designs are precisely what make the Forbidden City worth a wander.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Next is an excursion outside Beijing to Mutianyu Great Wall. Mutianyu offers gorgeous views and countryside around the Great Wall, less crowded even offer stunning views around. As one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the section at Mutianyu stretches 2.5 kilometers including 22 watchtowers.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Standing on the Great Wall facing east, you will have Mongolia to your left and China to your right. Moreover, because Mutianyu surrounded by 90 percent vegetation areas, then in all season views on this section of Great Wall will offers different beauties all year long. It was a nice hike on Mutianyu overall. Very worth it and organized!
