Discover the Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the most scenic and best-preserved sections of China’s legendary Great Wall and a proud UNESCO World Heritage site. Renowned for its dramatic mountain views, restored stonework, and tranquil environment, Mutianyu is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire Wall — a true gem of the "Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Wall." Surrounded by dense forests and gentle slopes, it offers breathtaking landscapes all year round. Unlike the often-crowded Badaling, Mutianyu provides a quieter, more relaxed hiking experience, making it a favorite among international travelers. You can walk along historic towers, take in sweeping views, ride a cable car, or enjoy a fun toboggan descent. Whether you're a lover of history, architecture, or nature, Mutianyu blends cultural legacy and natural beauty into a truly unforgettable visit. It’s a must-see for anyone exploring Beijing or experiencing the Great Wall for the first time.
Step into the Summer Palace, a stunning example of Chinese landscape garden design and a proud UNESCO World Heritage site. Once the royal retreat for Qing emperors, this vast imperial complex seamlessly blends natural scenery with graceful architecture. Wander along the peaceful banks of Kunming Lake, climb Longevity Hill for panoramic views, and explore timeless highlights like the Long Corridor, Marble Boat, and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. The palace grounds are dotted with elegant pavilions, ornate bridges, and traditional buildings that reflect centuries of imperial splendor. A boat ride on the lake offers a tranquil perspective of this grand retreat. Every path and structure reveals a story from China's dynastic past, making it not just a park but a living museum of Qing-era artistry. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, photography, or a leisurely cultural stroll, the Summer Palace offers a truly unforgettable experience — serene, majestic, and inspiring.
Explore Yuanmingyuan Park, also known as the Old Summer Palace, a powerful symbol of China’s imperial grandeur, cultural heritage, and historical resilience. Once known as the “Garden of Gardens,” this vast complex combined traditional Chinese landscaping with Western-style architecture, art, and innovation. Built during the Qing Dynasty, it was home to priceless treasures, elaborate halls, and magnificent fountains before being tragically destroyed by Anglo-French forces in 1860. Today, its evocative ruins, tranquil lakes, and reconstructed relics offer a profound educational experience, telling a story of splendor, loss, and national pride. Visitors can walk through historic remains, learn about cultural achievements and foreign invasions, and reflect on a pivotal moment in China’s modern history. More than a scenic park, Yuanmingyuan is a living classroom of history and cultural memory — a must-visit for those seeking a deeper understanding of China’s past and its enduring spirit.
It was very convenient with BusDa as our planner and Yoyo as our host. She is a very sweet and informative person and wanted us to have the best experience. Id definitely recommend BusDa to others.
Aria was a lovely guide and a great story teller. This tour departs early so it’s ideal to take nice pics without the crowd! The option with buffet it’s also highly recommended. The buffet even includes beer!
I booked the tour of Mutiangyu Great Wall and the summer palace. This company is great very easy to communicate with, our lovely and singer tour guide (unfortunately don’t have the name, I think sound like JR) made it an amazing experience, the lunch was delicious.
Jacky Chen was an amazing tour guide. He took pictures and and pointed us to the scenic spots on the Great Wall. His tour at the Summer Palace was great and detailed. I also liked his singing 😂
A fantastic trip. The tour guide was very responsible and would answer our questions patiently whenever we had doubts.
Budsa tour was great! Bus ride was smooth and clean. Historical sight information was well presented without being too long. Highly recommend.
Jackie Chan is a great tour guide. Would definitely join another tour with him in the future. Very informative and very funny
Was on a day trip with Busda tour company for the Great Wall and the Forbidden city. Pur tour guide Linda was great at managing the complete trip today. She explained in detail historical background on both the places very well and overall completed the trip on time without any delays. I highly recommend the tour company if planning any day tours in Beijing.
Very good tour. Jackie Chen was very supporting and professional. He made sure that everyone had a good time. He went above and beyond
Thank you; I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the wall and would recommend it to everyone. I wish you a pleasant day. I have a pet dog

yoyo is the best, great experience ever. we love the tour in family, thank you for sharing this experience with us and the world
Amazing trip and even more amazing guide. Very democratic haha. The trip has good food included and covers the Great Wall and the palace. Definitely worth if you have time from 7am to 6 pm
It was a great trip. Very budget-friendly, and Yoyo took great care in organising and making sure everyone was there. I highly recommend.
Jackie Chan was a great guide - very knowledgable, friendly and funny! The Great Wall was amazing, and the Summer Palace was an interesting end to the tour.
Yoyo is a great guide, but when we booked the tour it seemed like the Summer Palace temple was included, but we had to pay an extra 10 yuan per person to go up, even though the temple was one of the main attractions in the advertisement.
Excellent guide , talks english well . Was well arranged. Got the idea on how to go up and come down . Thank you for the plan given .
I had an amazing trip thanks to our guide, Yoyo. She was incredibly professional and helpful throughout our journey. We initially booked the wrong date, but Yoyo promptly assisted us in contacting the office to change it to our preferred date. Additionally, we needed to switch from a cable car to a ropeway, and she made that transition seamless. Highly recommend Yoyo for her outstanding service!.
Our guide Jackie Chan was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was communicating very clearly and did a great job! There was enough time to visit the sights. I also recommend the boat tour in the summer palace. PS: I think you can skip the lunch option.
Tour guide Jackie Chen is patient, kind and knowledgeable. The itinerary is great. I have ample time to explore each place.
We booked a trip to Mutianyu last minute via chat and everything went very smoothly. The guide Aria was very helpful with picking the best route for us and we had a nice chat about our experience afterwards :)

AMAZING. WE LOVE JACKI CHAN! He is very knowledgeable and super sweet. He is such an amazing guide and the tour was impecable.
Tour guide Zhao did a great job taking us on a peaceful family adventure around the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, and more. She introduced each landmark in detail and gave us tips on the best places to take photos. She even helped take a lot of photos for us with meaningful framing based on the significance of the landmarks. Overall she was extremely patient and friendly, always kindly helping us with our questions that we had as Chinese Americans who weren't as familiar with some of the logistics or language nuances. Would recommend a tour with this company and with Tour Guide Zhao.
Excellent services, very interesting all the information that our guide gave us. Very kind and attentive. I highly recomend him.

It was an amazing trip and very friendly tour guide, Jackie Chan. He is very professional and responsible to his customer. I would definitely recommend this tour to other people
We had an amazing time visiting the Great Wall and the Summer Palace both are absolutely stunning and definitely a must-visit when in Beijing! The views were incredible and the whole experience was unforgettable. What made it even better was our tour guide, Jackie Chan. He was super caring, really funny, and kept us entertained the whole day. Honestly, he made the tour so much more fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Beijing!
Our guide Yoyo was very nice and the program was well planned out. Exploring the wall on our own was a great experience and the cable car was a good idea. Weather was not too good so the view was nonexistent. Recommending good shoes.
Our day with Jackie Chan was amazing! Perfectly planned and everything on time, follow his suggestions as he’s really trying to help by advising. All explanations were great and simple, if I’ll be back in Beijing I hope to have him as my tour guide again!
Jackie Chan was an amazing guide. He help us with our questions and tell us many stories. He also suggest some places and recommend us what else we could see in the city. I really recommend him.
Very good trip with Jackie chan! We had an amazing day and his explanations were clear and very interesting. Very much recommended!
Great experience with Jackie Chan. We went to the great wall and to the summer palace. Jackie explained everything perfectly.
