Tour Code: TC-B-302-7D

What You’ll Experience on This 7-Day Beijing Journey

This 7-day private Beijing route gives the capital enough time to breathe. Instead of rushing through only the famous icons, it balances the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, hutongs, Qianmen, and modern city landmarks. Private service keeps the pace flexible, and the extra days make the journey more comfortable for travelers who want depth rather than a checklist.
