The Great Wall at Mutianyu is one of the best-preserved sections of the Wall close to Beijing.

Being a scenic section but with fewer tourists than Badaling, Mutianyu Great wall is an ideal introduction to this ancient wonder and especially favored by foreign travelers.

And thanks to its close proximity to downtown Beijing, just a one-and-a-half-hour drive in normal traffic, it is more than possible to visit Mutianyu Great Wall in a morning or afternoon—perfect for travelers with a tight schedule.

Located on the southern outskirts of Suzhou and famed for its picturesque canals, Tongli Water Town is one of the hidden gems around Shanghai and one of China’s most beautiful water towns.

Simply strolling along the banks of Tongli Water Town’s canals and exploring its winding lanes will give you a sense of the town’s history and allow you to appreciate its scenery. You can enjoy a leisurely lunch or sip a cup of tea at a local restaurant along the canals, or cruise down the scenic waterways in a traditional boat. While exploring, you will enjoy views of the town’s more than 50 bridges.

Originally built in the 14th century by the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xi‘an’s large, rectangular city wall is an impressive sight and an unmissable stop on any itinerary in Xi‘an. It is considered the best preserved city wall in China and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Among the four gates of the rectangular wall, the South Gate (also known as Yongning Gate) is the most magnificent and beautifully decorated, and thus is the main gate for visitors to start their tour of the city wall.

The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987 and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

Travelers must enter the Palace Museum at the South Gate. Note that before you can enter the Tiananmen area and walk through to the entrance of the Palace Museum, you will need to queue for a security check. You will need your passport to get a ticket and enter the Palace Museum.

The Jinshanling Section of the Great Wall was first constructed during the Ming Dynasty in 1368 and then renovated under the supervision of the great general Qi Jiguang in 1567. This section is around 10.5 km long, including 5 passes, 67 towers, and three beacon towers. Part of the wall has been restored but some of it remains unrestored, offering you the opportunity to appreciate both the original appearance and the wild side of the Great Wall.

Located 125 km northeast of Beijing or around 2.5 hours‘ drive in normal traffic, Jinshanling Great Wall not only offers some of the best sceneries among both restored and unrestored sections of the Great Wall; thanks to the longer drive from Beijing, it also sees far fewer tourists than closer sections like Badaling and Mutianyu. If your itinerary allows for one full day seeing the Great Wall, then we highly recommend Jinshanling.

The Temple of Heaven, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, occupies an area three times bigger than the Forbidden City and is the largest existing complex of ancient sacrificial buildings in China.

The visually striking Temple of Heaven was built between 1406 and 1420 during the reign of the Yongle emperor, who also ordered the construction of the Forbidden City. With its unique round structures and contrasting colors, this religious complex is an impressive reminder of China‘s rich history and an unmissable sight for visitors to Beijing.
