Roam through over 9,000 rooms, from the grand Outer Court where emperors held ceremonies to the private Inner Court of royal life.

- Mutianyu Great Wall - In the late afternoon, travel to the Mutianyu Great Wall, where you can choose your ascent: a round-trip cable car or a ski lift to the wall’s 14th-century ramparts. As you walk the 5,400m intact stretch (with 96% vegetation cover), the guide will share stories of Ming Dynasty military strategies, highlighting watchtowers and explaining how the wall protected China from invasions.
