After pickup from your Beijing hotel, you will be taken to the entrance of the Great Wall at Mutianyu, one of the best-preserved section of the wall that's most representative of how it looked during the Ming Dynasty. Follow your guide on a moderate hike along the wall, which stretches 2,300 feet (700 meters) with inclines reaching up to 460 feet (140 meters).

Along the way, enjoy the picturesque views of the wall snaking through the tree-covered mountain. Learn from your guide about the tactical significance of several watchtowers and segments of this fortification. Your hike will take approximately two hours, depending on the pace you choose to take.

Afterward, you will be driven to a jade factory, where your guide will take you on a tour of the facilities so you can witness the incredibly detailed art of hand-making jade products. Hear how the Chinese first discovered this material and learn how to discern the real thing from false copies.

Next, walk to a nearby popular restaurant to delight in a lunch of local Beijing specialties. Then, if you choose the hot springs spa option, you'll be driven to the Chunhuiyan Hot Springs Resort to unwind after your hike. Feel your stress and tiredness seep away as you soak in the hot springs, containing naturally occurring minerals that aid rehabilitation. You may also choose to relax in the sauna or swim in the refreshing pool.

After your spa experience, take a 30-minute drive to Beijing National Stadium, informally known as the Birds Nest, and the Beijing National Aquatics Center, known as the Water Cube. Spend some time exploring these landmarks' surroundings and enjoying the scenery while hearing accounts of their design and function during the 2008 Olympics.

Finally, walk to a nearby tea house to observe a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Witness this age-old cultural ritual and then enjoy some afternoon tea with locals. At the end of your tour, youll be taken back to your Beijing hotel.
