My husband and I are planning a trip and will have a layover in Beijing for 9 hours and 15 minutes. We arrive at 4:50 am and depart at 2:05 PM. What could we visit within this time? We know we want to visit the Great Wall. What would the price be if we only visit the Great Wall?
Hi Amanda,
Thank you for contacting us!
Sorry, your layover time is only enough to visit the Great Wall. We have group & private tour suitable for you. We just sent an email about the tour options to you, please check it out.
My partner are looking at a layover with these dates:
Thursday 19 December
12:05 to 01:40 (13 hrs 35 mins)
Would we be able to do both Great Wall and Forbidden City in this time? What tours have other people done with the same layover?
Thanks
Hi Todd,
Sorry, your arrival time is late. It is not enough to visit both Great Wall and Forbidden City. Many our clients visited Great Wall and Hutongs with the similar layover.

Hi,
our light arrives at 4:10am from and leaves at 2:05. Would we be able to do both the great wall and forbidden city in that time frame?

Thank you for contacting us!
Since the Great Wall opens at 7:30am and the Forbidden City opens at 8:30am. So our earliest pick-up time is 6:30am.
And your layover time is very tight, so you only have one hour at each attraction. Please see below for the detailed timeline:
