2023-07-18

At 9:00 in the morning, come to Mutianyu and embark on a rendezvous with nature with your family.

The first stop is Yanqi Lake, named after the flocks of wild geese that frequently inhabit the lake during spring and autumn. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a range of mountains stretching in the north, the scenery is breathtaking. To the west stands the majestic main peak of Hongluo Mountain, harmoniously echoing the ancient temple's morning bells and evening drums with the natural beauty of Yanqi Lake. Jindeng Mountain and Yuanbao Mountain are like two sparkling pearls embedded on the eastern bank of Yanqi Lake. The mountaintop used to be home to an ancient temple called Jindeng Temple, which, together with Puzhao Temple at the foot of the mountain, is known as one of the old eight scenic spots in Huairou — Jindeng Puzhao. This place was also the venue for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit held in 2014, worth a visit to witness its charm.

At 12:00 noon, after descending from the Great Wall, head to the Western Restaurant on the commercial street for lunch. You can try the classic hamburger, the "Royal Burger," with its seared grill marks, juicy filling, and fresh vegetables that are irresistibly delicious. After lunch, you can visit Bohai Village near the Great Wall. During festivals, traditional temple fairs are held here, featuring various local performances and traditional activities that will delight your senses.

In the afternoon, climb the Mutianyu Great Wall with your family. Here, it's not just a majestic and grand procession of tourists but a true display of nature's allure. It is also a great place for children to learn and experience. It is recommended to book tickets for the Great Wall and cable car in advance on the Mutianyu Great Wall's official website. Simply scan the QR code or show the passport for a seamless entry. Take the cable car to reach No.14 Watchtower and immediately feel the gentle breeze. As you gaze into the distance, the boundless charm emanating from the Great Wall commands admiration. Capture these blissful moments with your camera, share stories of China's history and traditional culture with your children, and enjoy the exhilarating experience of sliding down the slide together.

At 9:00 in the evening, check into the Mutianyu Great Wall Hotel. The hotel offers a variety of room types to accommodate different preferences. Families can choose the loft room, where children stay on the upper level and adults on the lower level. The interior decor creates an illusion of living in a forest cabin, and the adorned lights resemble stars in the night sky. In the evening, you can bring hamburgers and steaks to prepare a candlelight dinner for your family, sharing stories and love.
