What an unforgettable day we had in Beijing! Our group of six friends decided to explore two incredible spots: the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace, and we had a blast!
We started our adventure at the Mutianyu Great Wall. Let me just say, the views were absolutely stunning! We opted for the cable car to take us up, and it was worth every penny. As we rose above the mountains, the sight of the wall stretching out before us took our breath away. It felt surreal to be standing on such an iconic landmark, and we couldn’t stop snapping photos. Seriously, every angle is Instagram-worthy!
Once we reached the top, we spent hours wandering along the wall. There was something so special about being there together, laughing and exploring. Each watchtower we visited offered a unique perspective, and we all felt like kids again, just enjoying the adventure. Plus, the weather was perfect, which made the experience even better!
After an exhilarating morning, we headed to the Summer Palace. The beautiful gardens, stunning architecture, and peaceful lakes made for a perfect afternoon stroll. We loved wandering around, taking in the beauty of the scenery. The highlight for us was definitely the Long Corridor, with its colorful paintings—it was like walking through a piece of art!
Throughout the day, our guide John was absolutely fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, making sure we didn’t miss any important details at each site. He patiently answered all our questions and even shared some fun anecdotes that added to the experience. We felt like we were exploring with a good friend rather than just a guide!
And a special shoutout to Zoe, who helped us plan everything! She was super responsive and answered all our questions leading up to the trip. Her tips made our day so much smoother, and we really appreciated her guidance.
All in all, this day was a perfect blend of adventure, history, and laughter with friends. If you're in Beijing, you have to visit both the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace. It’s a day you won’t forget! We left with our hearts full of memories and already started planning our next adventure together!

Who knew history could be this much fun? Our guide had us giggling from the get-go, with jokes and stories that brought the Great Wall to life. Climbing those ancient steps felt like a workout, but with all the laughs, we hardly noticed the hike!
Then it was off to the Summer Palace, where our guide turned into a real-life storyteller. We wandered through the gardens, soaking up the scenery and the scandalous tales of emperors past. By the end of the day, we were tired but oh-so-happy, with memories to last a lifetime. Huge shoutout to our guide for making history feel like a day at the park!
What a day! Our guide was like a walking history book, but way more fun! They had us laughing and learning as we hiked up the Great Wall. Every step felt like stepping back in time, and our guide made sure we didn't miss a beat. And the views? Absolutely breathtaking!
After a morning of adventure, we headed to the Summer Palace, and boy, was it a sight to behold! Our guide had all the juicy gossip about the emperors and empresses who used to hang out here. We wandered through the gardens, feeling like royalty ourselves. And when we finally called it a day, we couldn't stop talking about all the cool stuff we'd seen. Thanks, guide, for making it a day to remember!
It is defintely an ideal trip if you want to spend a day in Beijing city and great wall. Due to the epidemic, i decided to book a private tour service for myself in Beijing. Our guide Adrian took me to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall in the morning and Summer Palace for afternoon tour. My tour guide was very informative. Learnt a lot and also the history of sites that i visited during the day. I took this trip in weekend and there were much busy than work days, the driver knew the routes to take to avoid the traffic as much as possible. A worthy Beijing day trip, Adiran was a pleasure to go with. Thank you!
