Tour Overview & Itinerary
Badaling Great Wall, Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City Private Day Tour
Pick up travelers from the hotel at the departure time, and then drive about one hour to the world-famous Badaling Great Wall, located 60 miles from downtown Beijing.
Badaling is the most famous and best-preserved section of the Great Wall. Its highest point is around 800 meters above sea level. You will spend about 2 hours sightseeing on the wall, enjoying breathtaking mountain views and the unforgettable atmosphere of this ancient wonder.
If you prefer an easier way to reach the higher parts, the optional cable car is a great choice for a beautiful panoramic view.
Before lunch (around 12:00), travelers will have about 45 minutes for a short stop at a Jade Carving Factory, where you can learn about this traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Jade carving is a well-known local art, combining excellent skills with deep cultural meaning.
After that, enjoy a traditional Chinese lunch at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, drive about 1.5 hours back to the city center and visit Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world and the symbolic heart of modern China. It will take about 30 minutes to walk around and explore this important landmark.
Then walk directly into the Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum. This magnificent imperial palace is the largest and best-preserved ancient royal residence in China, offering a fascinating glimpse into China’s imperial history.
At the end of the tour, your guide and driver will transfer you back to your hotel comfortably, finishing a wonderful and memorable day in Beijing.
