This famous wall was built from earth and stone from the 5th century BC with the purpose of protecting the country against invading armies. The most famous section was built from 220 BC to 200 BC under Qin Shi Huang – the first emperor of China. With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Great Wall has witnessed the rise and fall of countless Chinese dynasties. It still stands majestically there like a loyal guardian, watching the course of events and history turn. (The group visits Juyongguan Pass)

Ginkgo Avenue at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse (Ginkgo Diaoyutai) – regarded by Beijing residents as a stunning symbol of autumn. When autumn arrives, hundreds of ginkgo trees along the avenue turn a dazzling golden yellow, with golden leaves carpeting the path and creating a scene like a painting. The calmness and magical atmosphere of this place make everyone want to stop, admire and keep unforgettable moments amid the poetic nature of Beijing autumn.
