If you're eligible for the 24-hour or 144-hour visa-free transit policy, you don’t need a visa to leave the airport and join a layover tour. Just make sure your passport and connecting flights meet the requirements. We’ll be happy to guide you through the process step by step.

We recommend a layover of at least 8 hours to enjoy a short sightseeing tour in Beijing. Here's why:
Airport to downtown Beijing: It takes around 1–1.5 hours by car from either Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) or Daxing Airport (PKX) to reach the city center (e.g., Tiananmen Square or Forbidden City).
Airport to Mutianyu Great Wall: Driving time is about 1.5–2 hours one way.

Keep in mind:
Forbidden City opening hours: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM (last admission 3:30 PM; closed on Mondays except national holidays).

Mutianyu Great Wall opening hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM all year round.
Tiananmen Square is open 24 hours, but some areas may be restricted during flag ceremonies or major events.

To ensure you have enough time for travel, sightseeing, and to return for your next flight:
Minimum layover: 8 hours (for one main attraction such as the Great Wall).
Ideal layover: 10–12 hours (allows time for 2–3 attractions and meals without rushing).

You should return to the airport at least 2–3 hours before your next international departure.

Yes, absolutely! Visiting the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is one of the most popular choices for a layover tour in Beijing. It’s located about 1.5 hours by car from Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) and slightly farther from Daxing Airport (PKX), but still doable.

Mutianyu is well-preserved, scenic, and less crowded than other sections like Badaling. If your layover is at least 8 hours, there’s enough time for a smooth round trip, including time on the Wall and returning to the airport for your next flight.

To make your experience even more comfortable, we recommend using the cable car or chairlift to save time and energy, especially if you're traveling with kids or seniors.

No worries! If your flight is delayed, we’ll adjust the itinerary based on your actual arrival time. For private layover tours, we offer flexible scheduling and real-time coordination to make sure you still enjoy your tour as much as possible within the time available.
