I’m planning a trip in late November. I arrive in Beijing at 5:55 PM and depart the next morning at 8:35 AM. That’s about 14 hours. But are the tours available in those times?
Hi Vivian,
Thank you for contacting us!
I suggest you visit Hutong area and Tiananmen Square during your layover in Beijing. Because your arrival time is too late, most of Beijing attractions will be closed by then. We will send an email about detailed itinerary and price to you now, please check it out.
