This hike covers one of the famous Great Wall which is Mutianyu Great Wall It is slightly less crowded than BaDaLing Great Wall and is located in a heavily forested area. It is especially photogenic in rainy, misty weather. The scenic beauty in spring and autumn is breathtaking. The whole area is like a garden on the mountain top. You will then follow your hike route to the un-restored area of the Great Wall called Lianhuachi. This area will give you a clear idea of the difference between the restored and the un-restored areas of the Great Wall. End your route on the mountain from an off beaten route.

Mountain bar serves a lot of famous food like local-made tofu, excellent red trout and so on, that you will never have a chance to try in downtown Beijing. While having lunch, you will enjoy the nice view around the Mountain bar. This place is very tranquil and relaxing. You will surely enjoy the beautiful outskirt scenery. Back to Beijing where you will be free to do what you please during the afternoon, perhaps looking for some bargains at the silk market.

The first stop is the Temple of Heaven, once forbidden for "commoners" and foreigners to visit. Built almost 600 years ago for emperors to worship heaven and pray for good harvest, it is full of uniquely interesting structures, such as the Echo Wall. Time for some exercise next with a lesson of Tai Chi Chuan, which is to be followed by a rickshaw hutong tour ending at one of Beijing's most renowned snack restaurants, Jiu Men Xiao Chi. This restaurant, located in a courtyard of great dimensions, serves an array of dishes which run back hundreds of years in time. Next, a trip to the Lama Temple. The biggest lamasery in Beijing, it was built over 400 years ago and then turned into a temple devoted to the cult of the living Lama, particularly interesting for its combination of mainstream Han and ethnic Tibetan Buddhist architecture.
This is then followed by a trip to Nan Luo Gu Xiang Hutong. This area is considered the bohemian section of Beijing, with many cafes, tea houses and relaxing restaurants located amidst hutongs. Indeed, an interesting combination of East and a laid back West.
We then hop back in time onto a Second World War sidecar replica, all the way to China's national TV tower (CCTV tower). The 242-meter high coving Cloud Hall is a place used fot luxury celebrations.
