Hi! We arrive at PEK at 6:20 am on April 19th. Our next flight leaves at 12:00 pm, layover time of 5:40. Would it be possible to get through security, see the Great Wall and get back through security to catch our flight? I don’t want to do it if it’s risky, but if it isn’t I’d love to. It would be me and my husband for the tour. Thanks!
