Pickup from Tianjin, visit Great Wall at Shanhaiguan Pass and Old Dragon’s Head

Great Wall at Shanhaiguan Pass (Zhendong Gate) - Begin the day with a morning pickup from Tianjin downtown by a friendly guide and driver, then travel to the Great Wall at Shanhaiguan Pass, situated in Qinhuangdao Prefecture, Hebei Province, approximately 186 miles east of Beijing. This was the most significant pass of the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty, safeguarding the broadest corridor between China and its formidable neighbors, the Manchu, earning the title “First Pass under Heaven.”

Great Wall Museum - Accompanied by the guide, visit the Shanhaiguan Great Wall Museum. It is one of China’s three Great Wall museums, alongside Badaling and Jiayuguan Great Wall Museums. Opened in 1991, it highlights the history, culture, organization, and military aspects of the Great Wall. Note: Closed on Mondays.

Laolongtou (Old Dragon’s Head) - After enjoying a delightful local lunch, proceed to Laolongtou, known as the Old Dragon’s Head. It marks the eastern starting point of the Great Wall built during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and is the only section on the sea. The entire Wall resembles a massive dragon winding through China, with Laolongtou as the dragon’s head extending into the Bohai Sea. Spend 1-2 hours exploring here with your guide.

Beidaihe District - Following the visits to Shanhaiguan Pass and Old Dragon’s Head, transfer for about 1 hour to your hotel in Beidaihe (arrangements to be made independently).
