Breathe in the fresh mountain air as you take a relaxing walk with views of sunshine-filled grassy meadows and cattle grazing in the pastures. Then head to the Thermal Valley(closed on Monday), a remnant of the park's former volcanic activity, where the spring's waves of hot air and a cool breeze make you feel like you are in a sauna.From here, head to Beitou Hot Spring Museum(closed on Monday), one of the largest public baths in East Asia. Be mesmerized at its Victorian-style building with red bricks, wooden weatherboard, and black tile roof set perfectly against the surrounding greenery.

Beautiful Day at Great Wall in Mutianyu
We had a wonderful day visiting the Great Wall together with our guide, Ivy. The organisation - from the pick up to the return - was excellent, we had nothing to worry about. So It was a lovely and relaxed day profiting from the experience to the fullest without having to trouble about transport or tickets. Ivy explained well the history and knew about all nice parts of the part of the wall that we visited. She is very nice company. We had a very good experience. moreOct 2022, Nina

Excellent time in Beijing
Ivy was a true professional who spoke excellent English and engaged us with stories of the very rich Chinese cultural heritage and history. We went away with so much more knowledge with her as our guide giving us a live commentary as we walked around. She brought us to the off the beaten track spots, less crowded corners of the attractions and very importantly, knew which toilets were clean and more foreigner friendly. Highly recommend Ivy to any future visitors to Beijin moreOct 2022, JCCEBJ
