Route and experience
Day 1: Imperial core: Forbidden City and one other major site (e.g. Temple of Heaven or Summer Palace), with time to absorb the history and symbolism.
Day 2: Great Wall: we take you to Mutianyu (or another section by arrangement) for a full experience on the wall.
Day 3: More city depth: the site not covered on Day 1, plus time for another attraction or a more relaxed pace.
Day 4: Cultural and local: we can include a Hutong and cultural experience (e.g. calligraphy and dumpling making), another city site or a second Great Wall section. The exact mix is flexible when you inquire.
All four days are private. For more on Beijing’s attractions and planning, see our Beijing city guide. For a shorter trip, see our 3-day Beijing classic tour; for a full five days, see our 5-day Beijing immersive tour.
