We have combined two of our most popular destinations north of Beijing into one unforgettable tour. First we drive to the Great Wall, the very symbol of ancient Chinese engineering. The Badaling section is a prime, preserved example of this colossal structure, and you will have the opportunity to climb up either the North or South Face of the Wall. From here it is on to the sacred Ming Tombs, burial grounds to 13 of the 16 Ming emperors. You will explore the largest of the excavated burial sites, the Changling Tomb, which is divided into three separate, impressive courtyards. Lunch will be included in the tour, along with a shopping spree at the world-renowned Longdi Jade Factory.
