  • Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling)

    After approximately 1 hour drive, continue to explore the Ding Tomb, the tomb of the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli, and his two empresses. The tomb is the only Ming Dynasty Tomb that has been excavated. This underground palace is 89 feet (27 meters) deep and has an area of over 3900 square feet (1195 square meters). After it was built, it was covered with deep soil so the people in charge of the tomb construction and later burial of the imperials erected the tablet as a sign for relocating the underground palace when needed. You also can have another option to visit Changling Tomb instead, is the tomb of the 2nd Emperor in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di. It is regarded as the grandest one among the 13 Ming Tombs in Beijing. Finally, head to Sacred Way, which consists of the stone arches, the Great Red Gate, stone statues, etc. The most attractions are the vivid animal and human stone statues, totally 12 human figures and 24 animal figures.

Great Wall is a must see if in Beijing

Published on Nov, 2024

One of the best tours we had, Great Wall is a wonder place. Our tour guide James helped us take dozen of pictures, and gave us huge amount of information about the Great Wall history. The organized lunch was very tasty with clean restaurant. Recommending this tour, especially this side of the Great Wall is not that crowded, so anyone can spend a good time walking up and down the steep steps

Great one day trip from Beijing

Published on Oct, 2024

We were very impressed with the Great Wall and enjoyed the mountain scenery from the top. The visit to the Changling Tomb was very memorable as well. Our guide, Eva, was very kind and helpful.

I highly recommend this trip. Our guide, Eva, was very helpful and kind. The views from the Great Wall were very scenic. We were also very impressed during our visit to the Changing Tomb.

An amazing experience with a great guide

Published on Aug, 2024

We visited the Great Wall and the Ming Tumbs with a Catherine Lu tour and we had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly organized, but the best aspect of our experience has been our wonderful guide May. May has been very professional, sharing a lot of information all the time and personalizing the tour according to our preferences. She has also been incredibly available in helping us with many local tips on things to do in our free time for the following days, especially with great recommendations for delicious food to try in Beijing and where to find the best option of each dish. We really had an amazing time with May and we have been in touch also during the following days for tips and more suggestions. Also the driver has been very professional and available during all the tour.

The best tour in Beijing

Published on Jun, 2024

Our guide May and our driver Mr Lu made this tour the most memorable and best part of our trip! Our day started with getting picked up from the hotel and making our way to Matianyu. On the drive May bought the tickets for which cable car would best suit us/wasn’t busy. We were guided the whole way on the wall and helped us through each gate point, which would have been very difficult not knowing any mandarin. We then headed to a local restaurant on the way to Ming’s tombs and had lunch. May and Mr Lu ordered for us and helped accommodate with me being vegetarian. Their pick was great as all the food was fabulous. We then went to Ming’s tomb and sacred way with May buying the tickets, guiding us and telling us a lot of the symbolism and history behind each monument. We were offered to buy tickets to an acrobatics show after coming back from Ming’s tomb. May and Catherine Lu organised buying the tickets and organising our seats. We arrived a bit early before the show and May offered to take us to a tea ceremony which was very close to the theatre. The acrobatic show was insane! I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Beijing and I’ve never read or seen about it online. May and Mr Lu waited for us while during the show and were there for us when it ended. Mr Lu was very sweet and had bought us cold cokes to give to us which he had remembered that we ordered at the restaurant. Overall, we had the best time thanks to the planning and accommodating nature from Catherine, May and Mr Lu. We would recommend anyone going to Beijing to book this tour.
