Description

Please let me know the flight number after booking because there are TWO terminals in PEK. I want to know which terminal to pick you up from. Beijing is a historic city that served as the capital of six dynasties. It boasts a rich and storied history, blending ancient architecture with modern skyscrapers. From its landscapes and the Palace Museum to its vibrant food, culture, and people, Beijing offers endless wonders—with the Great Wall standing out as its most iconic treasure. I can’t wait to share its beauty with you! Hi! Welcome to Beijing, China! My name is Dong, I'm your guide and driver. I speak both Mandarin and English, and I’ve been working as a full-time guide for years. On this straightforward yet amazing tour, I’ll take you to the Mutianyu Great Wall, renowned as the most picturesque part compared to others, where you’ll dive deep into its fascinating history. Afterward, if you’re hungry, I’ll take you to a local restaurant—a spot I frequent in my hometown, just 30 minutes from the airport. I’m excited to meet you and thrilled to be your guide! Layover tips: If your layover spans from early morning to late evening, it’s possible to visit both the Great Wall and the city in a single day. If your layover tour of the Forbidden City falls on a Monday (when it is closed, except during national holidays), consider visiting Jingshan Park as excellent alternatives.

Important Information

  • Most of the time, I’m in charge of taking you to see the Great Wall, but if I can’t make it, my colleagues will take care of it. The Forbidden City doesn't sell tickets on the day of your visit. Please make arrangements 7 days in advance in high season. It is closed on Mondays except on national traditional holidays.
