Route and experience
Day 1: We focus on the imperial core: typically the Forbidden City and one other major site (e.g. Temple of Heaven or Summer Palace), with time for a relaxed pace and your interests.
Day 2: We take you to the Great Wall at Mutianyu (or another section by arrangement): cable car up, time on the wall, then return to Beijing. Optionally we can add a shorter city stop or adjust the order to suit you.
Both days are private and flexible; we can swap the order of days or sites when you inquire. For more Beijing attractions and day-tour options, see our Beijing city guide. To extend your stay, consider our 3-day Beijing classic tour.
