4-Day Private Beijing Tour with a Night Experience on the Great Wall

✨ A Romantic Journey through Beijing and Beyond ✨

The Great Wall of China is one of the most extraordinary landmarks in the world. While most travelers experience its majesty during the day, far fewer know the magic of walking along its illuminated stones at night.

This 4-day Beijing trip combines the city’s iconic highlights with a rare night adventure on the Simatai Great Wall, offering you an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and romance. Stroll through the Forbidden City, admire the Temple of Heaven, walk the Jinshanling Great Wall, stay overnight in the charming Gubei Water Town, and enjoy a hands-on cultural workshop.
