Great Wall → Forbidden City → Temple of Heaven → hutongs, 4–5 days
Small-group Beijing travel with a private guide and vehicle. See the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven, with no shopping stops.
Beijing was the capital of several dynasties, and its palaces, wall and altar sites sit both in the center and just outside it. Splitting central sights from the Great Wall keeps the days manageable.
We run Beijing as a small group of 2 to 8 guests. A private vehicle and a dedicated guide travel with you, and we operate with no shopping stops and no forced extras. Ask us for a quote.
The best-known section near Beijing. A cable car climbs to the ridge, then you walk along the wall.
The palace where Ming and Qing emperors lived. Halls run from the main gate toward the inner courts.
The wide square in front of the Forbidden City. It is busiest in the morning and evening.
Where emperors made offerings to heaven. A round altar building stands within a broad wooded park.
Old residential lanes running side by side. Small shops and tea rooms line them.
A former factory turned art district. Galleries and murals fill the spaces.
A cluster of Ming emperor tombs. Walking paths through the woods connect several of them.
| Period | What to expect |
|---|---|
| March–May | Warming up and blooming, good for outdoor sites. Dusty days blow in at times. |
| June–August | Hot with concentrated rain. Keep midday outdoor time short and move earlier. |
| September–October | Clear and mild, the best window of the year. Great for the wall and historic sites. |
| November–February | Lows reach about -10°C with strong wind. The wall feels even colder, so pack warm layers. |
Fly from Incheon to Beijing Capital or Daxing International Airport, direct.
Beijing links to Xi'an, Shanghai and other major cities by high-speed rail, which suits a longer route.
Central sites are reached by metro and car, while the Great Wall and Ming Tombs are day trips by private vehicle.
Arrive in Beijing, then visit Tiananmen Square and Nanluoguxiang.
Tour the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven.
Ride up the Great Wall at Badaling and walk the ridge.
Choose the 798 Art District or the Ming Tombs, then transfer to the airport.
We operate with no shopping stops and no forced extras. We do not include shop visits or paid add-ons.
Visitor numbers are capped, so booking ahead is required. We arrange it to fit your dates.
The wall and historic sites stay open, but the wind makes it feel very cold. Bring warm clothing and gloves.
Central sites involve short transfers, so parents manage well. On the wall we use the cable car and shorten the walking.
Always re-check the latest conditions on the official sites before you travel.
