Day 03Beijing

This morning you will be taken to Badaling where you will experience at first hand the wonder of the Great Wall, a priceless heritage left by the Chinese ancestry. Can you imagine how the laboring people in ancient China made such a great project by their hands? Without modern machines, equipments and construction materials, the Wall was well designed and built in accordance with the local geographical features. Just when you stand on the Wall and see its grandness, you will find it is no wonder that Great Wall has the vigor to surprise the whole world. To celebrate and memorialize this moment, we specially prepare red wine for a group toasting to each other on the Great Wall and sharing their enjoyment. For lunch, we have arranged for a special meal to be served at a popular Sichuan restaurant. Later the journey will take you to the Sacred Way and the Ming Tomb in the peaceful shadow of Longevity Mountain. Conclude the full day tour after taking a glance of the Bird's Nest (Olympic National Stadium) en route to downtown Beijing.
