Stop 1
2 hoursAdmission included
Stop 1
Meet your private driver-guide and climb into your vintage Changjiang sidecar. Hear the engine roar to life as you leave the city behind, riding through winding backroads into Beijing’s green northern hills. Step down onto the stone path once walked by emperors and their spirits. The avenue is lined with majestic stone animals, generals, and ministers — guardians of the imperial afterlife.
Stop 2
1 hour 30 minutesAdmission included
Stop 2
Ride through quiet villages and mountain roads, then stop for a homemade lunch in a peaceful countryside courtyard. Breathe deep. You’re far from the city now. Follow a scenic climb into a secluded valley where dozens of ancient Buddhist stone pagodas hide under pine trees. It’s haunting, spiritual, and absolutely stunning. Few tourists ever come here.
Stop 3
1 hour 30 minutesAdmission included
Stop 3
Optional Add-On: Dingling Tomb For those who want to go deeper: descend into the actual underground tomb of Emperor Wanli, the only Ming tomb archaeologically excavated. The stone chambers, vaults, and relics feel like a real-life tomb-raider experience. (Choose this when booking — adds about 1–1.5 hours to your day) Take a final ride through Beijing’s rolling hills, with optional photo stops or tea breaks along the way.
