🔍 Detailed Itinerary
P-1: 07:00–07:30 | Hotel Pickup
Your guide will confirm your pickup time the day before departure. Since the guide and driver will collect guests from different locations, slight delays may occur due to traffic. Please be prepared and wait in your hotel lobby with your belongings ready.
P-2: 07:30–08:30 | Drive to Tiananmen Square
Once all participants have boarded the vehicle, we will head to Tiananmen Square—the symbolic heart of Beijing and a must-visit landmark in China. Here, you’ll see the iconic portrait of Chairman Mao displayed above the Gate of Heavenly Peace. Known as the largest public square in the world, Tiananmen offers a vast open space where you can take photos, walk around, and visit the Monument to the People’s Heroes.
P-3: 08:30–11:30 | Explore the Forbidden City
After our visit to the square, we’ll proceed north to the entrance of the Forbidden City, a massive palace complex once home to 24 emperors from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With 9,999 imperial chambers, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers an extraordinary window into China’s imperial history, art, and architecture. Though a short tour only scratches the surface, it offers a remarkable glimpse into centuries of Chinese civilization.
P-4: 11:30–13:30 | Lunch Break
We’ll drive to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, stopping en route at a carefully selected local restaurant for a clean, authentic, and satisfying Chinese lunch.
P-5: 13:30–16:30 | Mutianyu Great Wall Excursion
At Mutianyu, we’ll take a cable car to avoid the 40-minute uphill walk and 800 steps. Once on the wall, you’ll enjoy a scenic walk between Watchtower 14 and Watchtower 23. This section of the Great Wall is praised on TripAdvisor for its breathtaking views and well-restored architecture. Enjoy the sweeping vistas and timeless atmosphere of one of China’s greatest landmarks.
P-6: 16:30–18:30 | Return to Hotel or Transfer
After the Great Wall visit, we’ll drive you back to your hotel. Due to afternoon traffic in Beijing, the return trip may take longer than the morning drive.
If you have a flight or train to catch, we can arrange direct transfer to the airport or train station—please ensure your departure time is compatible with this one-day itinerary.
