18hr50min Layover
Hold a UK Passport – What documents do I need?
Which tour would be best for this time? If I do a 8am-4pm tour can I still stay in Beijing since my flight is not until 1:30am?
Also will I have time to do the Toboggan and cable car?
Hi Omid,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to your nationality, you will need to apply for the transit visa (temporary permit) first when you arrive, and then go through the immigration to leave the airport. Normally, it will take 1.5-2 hours to finish the whole process. So According to your arrival time, I do not think you can meet our tour guide at 8am. You can choose another group tour from 9am to 5pm. Please see details at: https://www.beijinglayovertour.com/mutianyu-great-wall-forbidden-city-group-layover-tour-b/. You will have enough time to do the toboggan and cable car.
If you want to stay longer in Beijing city, we can leave you in the city after the tour, please go back to the airport on your own.
Arrival time in Beijing: 05:30 AM
Departure time from Beijing: 20:40 PM
Travel route: Paris → Beijing → Ho Chi Minh City (layover < 24 hours).
I hold a Vietnamese passport.
Could you please kindly check whether I am eligible to obtain the 24-hour TWOV temporary entry permit to leave the airport and join the tour? Thank you very much.
