Nestled within the 18-kilometer-long Guangou Valley, Juyong Pass is surrounded by lush mountains, offering picturesque views. The area is unique because the Great Wall forms a complete loop here, enclosing a fortified city with ancient temples and buildings. Next, we visit the “Beijing Dragon Land Superior Jade Gallery,” where visitors can observe skilled artisans meticulously carving jade into intricate designs, ranging from delicate jewelry to elaborate sculptures. Demonstrations often showcase the process of transforming raw jade into finished pieces, providing insight into the craftsmanship involved. Our last stop will be a photo stop at the iconic “Bird’s Nest” stadium, which is an architectural marvel located in the Olympic Green Village of Beijing.
