I’m Mark, a professional English-speaking tour guide from Beijing, and I’ve been guiding international visitors around Beijing for exactly 16 years. In the tourism industry, 16 years is more than just a number—it’s a guarantee of my expertise! You can think of me as a “Beijing Travel Encyclopedia.” I’ve witnessed the changing times and the passing of the seasons at Beijing’s various attractions, have memorized every little-known historical anecdote, and have uncovered countless stunning photo spots that are hard for tourists to find on their own. Unlike novice guides who merely read from a script, I excel at transforming China’s thousands of years of rich history and dry official facts into vivid, engaging, and easy-to-understand stories. With 16 years of hands-on experience leading tours, I have complete control over all the travel logistics, itinerary arrangements, and unexpected situations. You won’t need to consult travel guides, worry about scheduling, or plan your route at all. I’m highly professional and detail-oriented when it comes to travel services, yet approachable and humorous in my interactions. My sole mission today is to free you from the hassle of the little things so you can fully immerse yourself in Beijing’s authentic beauty and culture, and enjoy a relaxed, joyful, and unforgettable journey! I’m thrilled to meet all of you—let’s embark on this wonderful Beijing adventure together!

One-Day Tour of Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace (or other options)
Overview of your Beijing tour
I highly recommend this itinerary, which allows you to visit the famous Mutianyu Great Wall and the beautiful Summer Palace during a brief layover at Beijing Capital International Airport. This itinerary can also be customized to meet your specific needs. The Mutianyu Great Wall winds like a dragon, combining grandeur with elegance, and offers breathtaking views of the majestic mountain scenery. The pavilions and towers of the Summer Palace nestle against the hills and alongside the water; the murals in the Long Corridor are vivid and lifelike, while the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and the Incense-Burning Pavilion present classic scenic views. Join my private tour group, and you’ll experience Beijing’s stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage!
Your Beijing tour itinerary
I will meet you around 7:30AM at the Starbucks on the arrivals level of Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport or in the hotel lobby. From there, we will drive approximately one hour to the Mutianyu Great Wall. First, we will take the cable car directly to the highest point on the mountain. The Mutianyu Great Wall winds along the mountain ridges, featuring sturdy and thick walls. Afterward, we will visit the Summer Palace, which centers around Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, perfectly blending natural scenery with imperial architecture, after which I will take you back to your hotel or Beijing Capital International Airport. Please send message to me if your group got more than 4 people, and I will show you a new price, can be fully tailored to your requirements.
