Great Wall of China චාරිකා

Great experience today on our trip to the Great Wall! Michael was a good guide and the cooler weather combined with clear skies were amazing! definitely do the cableway up and tabogan down if you can handle the walking and climbing.

Visiting the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China was an unforgettable experience! The views of the Great Wall stretching across the mountains are absolutely breathtaking. It is amazing to walk along this historic landmark and appreciate the incredible architecture and rich history behind it. The surrounding mountain scenery makes the experience even more spectacular and offers plenty of opportunities for beautiful photos. The cable car ride is a convenient option for reaching the wall, especially if you want to save energy for exploring. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as there are plenty of steps and uphill sections

Yuly was an amazing guide. tour was well organised, helped us book additional activities and was very clear on instruction for all guests to understand. The history stores shared were very well articulated and engaging by Yuly. One of the best tours, a must for anyone travelling to Beijing! Thank you Yuly!!

ජෙසී අපගේ සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශිකාව විය. ඇය පුදුමාකාර කාර්යයක් කළාය. ඇය සියල්ල විස්තරාත්මකව පැහැදිලි කළ අතර ඡායාරූප ගැනීමට අපට නිදහස් කාලය ලබා දුන්නාය. එසේම, ගිම්හාන මාලිගයේ බෝට්ටුවකින් සංචාරය කිරීමට ඇය අපට විකල්පය ලබා දුන්නාය, කෙසේ වෙතත් අයහපත් කාලගුණය හේතුවෙන් අපට එය කිරීමට නොහැකි විය.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience and Yuly did a great job keeping everyone together and explaining key parts of the Forbidden City’s history. I would have preferred less time there and more time at the Great Wall. The itinerary could be more transparent. I didn’t expect to take a public bus after the Forbidden City to reach another bus, or to pick up more passengers along the way. The Great Wall extras were also confusing. On the bus, we were asked which sides we wanted to visit and charged 280 RMB for cable car/toboggan tickets. It felt like these were compulsory, although they are optional and cheaper options are available on site. This should be explained clearly before payment. That said, the cable cars and toboggan were amazing and so much fun! I don’t regret the experience or extra money spent. I’m grateful for the guidance and knowledge I gained, although I now feel confident I could organise it myself next time and spend more time exploring the Great Wall at my own pace!

This was an amazing tour with so many interesting sights seen. Helen made it so memorable with her great story telling and jokes, she also assisted us in getting into the areas faster than everyone else which was a huge plus. It is great value for money too as everything is included, all you do is pay and rock up and you’re set. Cold water is provided and the pace can be either fast or slow depending on what you like. Helen gave us the option to stop and take photos or go to the next spot which i really appreciated as i don’t like to waffle around. 100% recommend to anyone visiting beijing

අපගේ සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශක මයිකල් ඉතා උපකාරී සහ දැනුමැති අයෙක් විය! මුටියන්යු මහා ප්‍රාකාරය නැරඹීම ඉතා වටිනවා! අපගේ පවුල කේබල් කාර් රවුම් ගමන සහ පුටු ලිෆ්ට් එක සහ ටොබෝගන් යන දෙකම විවිධ ස්ථාන නැරඹීමට භාවිතා කළා. මොනතරම් අපූරු අත්දැකීමක්ද!

ඊයේ මුටියන්යු චීන මහා ප්‍රාකාරය සහ මිං සොහොන් ගෙවල් නැරඹීමට ගිය අපට ඇත්තෙන්ම පුදුමාකාර අත්දැකීමක් ලැබුණා! මෙම සංචාරය 5න් 5ම තරු ලැබිය යුතුයි. අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා විශිෂ්ටයි, දේශීය ඉතිහාසය (සහ තවත් බොහෝ දේ!) පිළිබඳ විශිෂ්ට දැනුමක් ඔහුට තිබුණා. ඔහු අතිශයින්ම ආචාරශීලී, ඉවසිලිවන්ත වූ අතර, අපගේ සියලු ප්‍රශ්නවලට කුඩාම විස්තරය දක්වා පිළිතුරු දීමට සැමවිටම උත්සාහ කළා. සෑම දෙයක්ම සම්පූර්ණ පැකේජයක් ලෙස මනාව සංවිධානය කර තිබූ නිසා, අපට කිසිවක් ගැන කරදර වීමට සිදු නොවූ අතර, සියලු දිගු පෝලිම් සහ කරදර මඟහරවා ගැනීමට හැකි වුණා. අපගේ රියදුරු ද පුදුමාකාරයි—ඔහු ඉංග්‍රීසි කතා නොකළත්, ඔහු ඇදහිය නොහැකි තරම් මිත්‍රශීලී වූ අතර දවස පුරාම ඔහුගේ මුහුණේ උණුසුම් සිනහවක් තිබුණා. මෝටර් රථය ඉතා පිරිසිදු, සුවපහසු වූ අතර, අයිස් වතුර සහ ගමන අතරතුර අපට රස විඳීමට ප්‍රමාණවත් රසවත් කෑම වර්ග වලින් පිරී තිබුණා. ළඟදීම බීජිං වෙත යාමට සැලසුම් කරන අපගේ සියලු මිතුරන්ට සහ පවුලේ අයට මෙම සංචාරය නිර්දේශ කිරීමට අපි අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම බලාපොරොත්තු වෙනවා. අපගේ දිනය මෙතරම් අමතක නොවන සහ ආතතියෙන් තොර එකක් බවට පත් කිරීම ගැන ඔබට ස්තූතියි!

I got Amy as my guide for the afternoon Great Wall of China trip. She is bilingual and her English is good. Although this was a self-guided trip, she was always attentive and made sure to cater to every passenger’s needs. I would text her whenever I needed advice on how to plan my time and decide which activities to do within the time allocated. She gave me very practical and helpful advice. There was an extremely long queue for the slide, and I ended up waiting for about an hour. I texted Amy to update her as I was worried that I might miss the last bus back. She immediately reassured me that she would wait for me and that the bus would not leave until I had returned. I really appreciate her patience, care and reassurance throughout the trip. She was very responsible and helpful, and definitely made my Great Wall experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Amy!
