Arrival & Fast Access: Skip the regular shuttle bus with pre-booked fast-track tickets and head straight to the entrance. Ascend the Wall: Take the cable car or chairlift up to the Great Wall.

Descent: Descend via toboggan slide if available and you choose (additional cost), or by chairlift/cable car. Note: Guests over 60 can only use the chairlift for descent. Lunch: Enjoy an included Chinese dumpling lunch at a local restaurant (vegetarian options available upon request; drinks at own expense). Return: Relax during the drive back to your hotel with drop-off service.
