Depart from the pier for an approximately three-hour and a half scenic drive to the Great Wall area.
You'll enjoy lunch at a local Chinese restaurant and make the most of a shopping break at a Jade Crafts Store.
Explore the Great Wall of China, whose construction began as early as the 8th century BC. It was the first Qin Emperor who extended this bastion who purpose was to guard against the northern barbarians. Construction reached its zenith under the Ming Dynasty and, today, the wall stretches some 3,600 miles.
Your visit features a walk along a restored section of the wall and its battlements, which are wide enough to allow cavalry and chariots to pass.
After your stroll on the wall, re-board the motorcoach and transfer directly back to the ship in Tianjin, approximately three and a half hours away.
Notes: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
