Picked up from your hotel in downtown Beijing around 8:00am, then escorted by our tour guide, drive along Jingping Expressway to the Pinggu District in the east of Beijing. First visit Jingdong Karst Cave , which has existed ever since 1.5 billion years before, hence the name of "The Oldest Karst Cave in the world".
This karst cave stretches over 25,00m including a 100m boat trip inside the karst cave. The temperature inside the karst cave is stable, warm in winter and cool in summer. The karst cave is divided into 8 viewing areas named after the unique rock formations, the stalactites, stalagmites, and columns that can be found inside the cave.
Then move on to the Diaowo Village . The village has 54 households with over 100 villagers. Today you will meet Mrs Li and her husband Mr. Hao in their courtyard home. A few years ago Mrs. Li retired and left the busy downtown Beijing and relocated to her husband birth place for spending the retirement life. Now she eats the vegetables she plants in her front yard and the Geese & Chickens in her back yard, enjoying an organic living and healthy life. You will have a home lunch made by Lady Li, chatting on their life and getting a good feel of its people of China.
After lunch, drive along deep valley called Flying Dragon Valley . The ravine is well known for its deep valley, original sandstones, thick forest, beautiful waters and mysterious caves. This north-south canyon is a 8 km-long, 20m wide and 7m wide at the narrowest.
Then drive up along the mountain roads with hairpin turns and cross over the mountain to get to Bolitai Village (120km east of Beijing city proper). Bolitai Village is nestled on an flat valley surrounded by the high mountains and dense forest with a zigzag mountain highway passing from north to south, linking the village to the outside world. It is a beautiful village. There are 230 villagers living in Bolitai.
The Bolitai Great Wall here is made of rocks and stones, not bricks made in kilns. Only one section of the wall in Village has been cleared and cleaned, bushes and saplings removed from the wall for easy one and half hour walking.
After hiking the Bolitai Great Wall, return to the city proper of Beijing.
