Pick up at 8:00 am at your hotel and take private van or car for Chuandixia Village . The village is located in the west area of Mengtougou District, about 90km west of Beijing city center. It is well known for its well preserved over 600 Ming and Qing dynasty-style houses housed by 70 families. These houses are contructed on the side of a hill, surrounded by mountains and forests. To see these old houses, you have to climb the steep stairs and lanes paved with rocks which are simple and unadorned. The village is listed as a village under national level cultural relics protection. It is an ideal place to take pictures. Almost each family at the village now keep their houses to take and welcome tourists.


After lunch at a local farmhouse, you head back to Pearl Lake , 60km west of downtown Beijing. It is a reservoir turned Lake named "Pearl Lake" for the large quantities of oysters in its waters. Sandwiched in the middle section of Guanting Gorge, this typical high-water lake has the sea-level of 400 meters. Occupying an area of over 8,500 hectares, this pleasant area is teemed with beautiful lakes and magnificent mountains. The most famous railway arch bridge in Asia is extended across the lake, offering an extraordinary sight.


After this nostalgic and romantic day trip, you are transferred back to your hotel in Beijing around 6:00pm.
