How the day works

WhenPlan
MorningVisit Badaling within the open visitor area. Agree a turnaround point instead of treating every tower as compulsory.
MiddayAllow for queues, the descent, lunch and the onward drive into the northwest of the city.
AfternoonChoose a focused Summer Palace route suited to the energy left after the Wall. Name lakeside walking, a hill climb or a hall cluster rather than the whole grounds.
ReturnMeet at the agreed palace exit for the return to your hotel.
