Overview of your Beijing tour

Beijing's two great imperial parks, in the right order: the Temple of Heaven early, when the park is full of retired Beijingers doing tai chi, singing opera and playing cards, then the Summer Palace in the afternoon light with a boat across Kunming Lake.

FAQs

Can this combine with the Great Wall?

Not comfortably. Do the Wall as its own day and this as the gentle day after.

How do I pay?

After the guide confirms your itinerary you receive a payment link for the 20% deposit (card). The balance is charged 7 days before the tour. Sample policy for the demo.
