At some 07:00 am our guide and driver will greet you at your hotel in Beijing downtown area. First we will drive to visit the Ming Tomb, the underground palace of Dingling (one of the 13 Ming Dynasty Imperial Mausoleums). Dingling is the tomb of Emperor Shenzong, Zhuyijun, who reigned the nation for 48 years as the longest-serving monarch among all Ming emperors. After lunch we will drive to the most famous and the best-preserved section of Chinese Ming Dynasty Great Wall: Badaling Great Wall. The mountain slope is very steep and the roads are tortuous, which make it an important military stronghold in ancient time. The wall is like a strong dragon winding its way along the mountain ranges. If hiking is too much for you, cable car is available and optional. Today you will also stop by the Jade Carving Factory as well as Tea Shop to learn about Chinese jade and tea culture, appreciate some exquisite jade artworks and try different kinds of tea.

After visiting, you will be escorted back to your Beijing downtown hotel at around 5:00 pm.
