How to choose a Beijing tour

Use this quick guide to pick the right pace and route. Every tour can be customized to your dates and interests.

2 days – First-timers, short stays
Cover Beijing’s “big four”: Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace, plus a half-day at the Great Wall. Ideal for travelers with tight schedules.

3 days – Classics at a relaxed pace
Add more time at the Great Wall and Summer Palace, with airport/train transfers covered. Good balance of must-sees and free time for photos and snacks.

4 days – Deeper city + hutongs
Explore both main sights and old neighborhoods: Great Wall (Mutianyu or Badaling), Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Prince Gong’s Mansion, Shichahai and Beijing hutongs.

5 days – Add Universal Studios Beijing
Best for families and theme-park fans: a full day at Universal Studios Beijing, plus the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Shichahai and a visit to Tsinghua or Peking University (exterior).

When to visit and how long

Best seasons
Spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov) are the most comfortable, with mild temperatures and clearer skies for Great Wall views. Summer can be hot with occasional showers; winter is cold but iconic for snow on the Great Wall and fewer crowds. Avoid peak national holidays (Chinese New Year; early May; Golden Week in early Oct) or book well in advance.

How many days

2 days: City essentials (Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace) + a short Great Wall visit.
3 days: More time on the Great Wall and Summer Palace, with flexible transfers and a slightly slower pace.
4 days: Add hutongs, Prince Gong’s Mansion and Shichahai for a deeper look at local life.
5 days: Include a full day at Universal Studios Beijing while still covering the Great Wall and main imperial sights.

Logistics cheatsheet

Airports & pick-ups: PEK (Capital) handles many international routes; PKX (Daxing) is modern and well connected. Private tours include hotel pick-up/drop-off; we can match airport, rail and hotel times.
Where to stay:
- Wangfujing – Central, walkable, close to the Forbidden City and shopping streets.
- Qianmen / Tiananmen area – Historic vibe, easy access to Tiananmen Square and hutongs.
- Houhai / Shichahai – Lakeside bars, hutong alleys and traditional courtyards.
- Sanlitun / CBD – Modern malls, dining and nightlife; convenient for business + leisure.
Getting around: The subway is extensive; your private car handles longer hops (Great Wall, Summer Palace, Universal Studios Beijing) and door-to-door pick-ups.
Tickets & timing: Key sights (Forbidden City, Universal Studios Beijing, some shows) use dated or timed entries; we arrange tickets and schedules to avoid long queues.
Kids & seniors: Cable cars or chairlifts on the Great Wall, mid-day breaks, gentle walking routes and elevator access at major sites can all be arranged.

FAQ

How many days in Beijing is enough?
For first-timers, 2–3 days cover core highlights like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall. Plan 4–5 days if you want hutongs, more museum time or a full day at Universal Studios Beijing. We’ll tailor the pace to your group.

Is Universal Studios Beijing worth a full day?
Yes—popular rides, shows and themed areas reward a full day, especially for families. We plan dated tickets, best arrival time and return transfers so you can focus on the fun.

Which Great Wall section is better—Badaling or Mutianyu?

Badaling: Most famous and restored; lively atmosphere and classic photos.
Mutianyu: Slightly quieter, longer wall stretches and great views; good for families.

Can we start in Beijing and end in another city (like Shanghai or Xi’an)?
Absolutely. Many guests fly into Beijing, tour the city and the Great Wall, then continue by high-speed rail or flight to places like Shanghai or Xi’an. We can help with tickets, transfers and luggage coordination.

Best areas to stay for first-timers?
Wangfujing (central, walkable), Qianmen/Tiananmen area (historic, near main squares) and Houhai/Shichahai (hutongs and lakeside evenings). Tell us your style—we’ll suggest hotels that fit your plan and budget.

Do you arrange Great Wall, Forbidden City and show tickets?
Yes. We organize Forbidden City timed entries, Great Wall tickets, Universal Studios Beijing passes and evening show tickets, and sync them with your daily route to reduce waiting and backtracking.
