8:00 Your guide will pick you up at the hotel lobby and drive to Badaling Great Wall (about 2 hours drive).

10:00-12:30 From the entrance of the Badaling Great Wall, the wall stretches south and north. The southern part of the Badaling Great Wall is about 1.3 km with seven watch towers and is shorter and less crowded than the north. The northern part stretching for 3 kilometers, with twelve water towers, is more prolonged and enjoys a better view. This part is also the most tourists' choice. The highlight of the Badaling Great Wall is the north No.11 watchtower, the highest point of the Great Wall. Cable cars and toboggan are also available in this section (about 2.5 hours).

12:30-13:30 Your guide will suggest a good local restaurant of your preference and pay on your own.   After lunch, drive to Guyaju Ancient Cliff Dwellings (35km away, about a 1-hour drive).

14:30 -16:00 Explore the caves, and it’s really exciting to imagine how ancient Chinese people lived in these dwellings. Guyaju Ancient Cliff Dwellings is generally believed to have been built toward the end of the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) by the ethnic minority Xixi (西奚).  However, some believe they are relics of the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD). The uncertain origin and various interesting stories add to the mysterious charm of the Guyaju Caves.  Also, this is the film “The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom” shooting place (about 1.5 hours).

18:00 Arrived at the hotel and ended a wonderful day.
