Maximize your layover at Beijing Capital Airport by embarking on a captivating journey to the Great Wall of China and other iconic sites in the capital with this exclusive layover experience.
Tour Overview
This experience is fully private and includes a car, a professional driver, and an English-speaking guide from Beijing Capital Airport for seamless service from pickup to drop-off. Depending on your layover duration, we can tailor the itinerary to meet your schedule and interests.
During your reservation, you can select from the following itinerary options:
5-hour Beijing Exploration
In this option, enjoy 5 hours exploring landmarks like Tiananmen Square, a central hub in Beijing. You'll also uncover the secrets of the Forbidden City, the largest imperial palace in the nation, rich in history and intrigue.
6-Hour Great Wall Adventure
This 6-hour tour allows ample time to visit the renowned Great Wall of China at the Mutianyu section. Experiencing one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World is always a highlight for visitors.
9-Hour Comprehensive Tour
Opt for this extensive 9-hour tour to explore both the Great Wall of China, one of the most celebrated structures globally, and the Forbidden City, the expansive palace complex symbolizing Chinese imperial heritage.
Key Information
Keep in mind that the round trip duration totals around 1.5 hours, necessitating a return to Beijing Capital Airport at least 2.5 hours before your flight's departure. Consequently, the duration of the tour will be four hours less than your layover. For instance, a 5-hour tour is ideal for a 9-hour layover.
Please be aware that this tour is exclusively available for departures and arrivals at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). If your arrival is at Beijing-Daxing International Airport (PKK), this itinerary cannot be accommodated due to travel times.
Passport Details
It is crucial that the passport number provided during booking is accurate, as modifications cannot be made afterward.
Opening Hours of Monuments
While our tours can be customized, they typically focus on the main attractions in Beijing. Below are the opening hours for these sites:
- The Forbidden City: Open during high season from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and in low season from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. If your flight lands post-12 pm, access to the Forbidden City will not be possible, and it is closed on Mondays. Hence, alternative sites will be visited on that day. Be aware that entry availability is limited, especially during peak periods, so booking at least 7 days in advance is advisable.
- The Great Wall of China: Open from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Visitors arriving after 2 pm will not be able to enter.
Experience at The Great Wall of China
During your visit to the Great Wall, the guide will share historical insights and highlight areas of interest at the foot of the monument. Afterward, you will have leisure time to explore the wall independently, allowing for personal pace without the guide accompanying you during the ascent or along the higher paths.
