Beijing, China

The Great Wall Muslim Tour

with David

As an old Chinese saying goes, " If one man guards the pass, then thousand are unable to get through". Juyongguan Great Wall is an important strategic gateway leading to Inner Mongolia. The slopes on both sides of this narrow pass are carpeted by a dense growth of foliage. The Juyongguan Pass used to be one of the eight famous scenic spots in Beijing. After years of renovation, the Juyongguan Great Wall was open to public in 1998.
Dingling (literally "Tomb of Stability"), one of the tombs at the Ming Dynasty Tombs site, is the tomb of the Wanli Emperor. It is the only one of the Ming Dynasty Tombs to have been excavated.

Pick up from hotel around 8:00am. Transfer to Juyongguan great wall by car(approximate travelling time:2hours).In 220 B.C., under Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, sections of earlier fortifications were joined together to form a united defense system against invasions from the north. Construction of the great wall continued up to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), when the Great Wall became the world's largest military structure. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance.

The lunch at local Halal restaurant,after lunch transfer to the Ming Tombs. Constructed for the 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming tombs follow the precepts of traditional Chinese geomancy and fengshui theory. They feature rich decoration of stone statues and carvings and tiles with dragon motifs, illustrating the development of the funerary architecture of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China. They have served as burial edifices for illustrious personages and as the theatre for major events that have marked the history of China. It's a busy tour day, but will also include a visit to Jade Carving Factory for a shopping experience not to be missed. Return to hotel.
