Best Beijing Day Tour and Holiday Packages For Timeless Wonders

Duration：7-8 Hours

Attractions(Cities)：Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace

Tour Style：One day, four Beijing essentials — Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace — with a private English-speaking guide and your own air-conditioned car and driver. Itineraries run daily, take 7–8 hours door to door, and can start from your Beijing hotel, a train station or the airport arrivals gate. Your guide walks you through Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) palace courts with real dates instead of legend, then takes you to a genuine local kitchen for Peking Duck — you order, you pay for what you eat, and vegetarian, halal or lighter meals are easy to arrange. Want to fold in Tai Chi at the Temple of Heaven, a hutong morning market, Peking Opera or Hanfu photos? Just tell us; the car and the day are yours.

Attractions(Cities)：Shanghai, Beijing

Tour Style：Seven days across two of China s biggest cities, linked by a high-speed rail ride instead of a long bus. You start in Shanghai - the Bund at dusk, Yu Garden and its old bazaar, the lanes of the Former French Concession and Tianzifang, the Jade Buddha Temple, and the shopfronts of Nanjing Road. Then a G-train carries you from Shanghai to Beijing South in roughly four to six hours, with seats reserved ahead by your guide. In Beijing you walk Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, stand at the Temple of Heaven, ride out to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, and wander Nanluoguxiang and the Summer Palace. A private air-conditioned car and an English-speaking guide move with you the whole way, and lunch is left open on purpose so your guide can take you to a real local kitchen rather than a tour-bus hall.

Duration：8 Days, 7 Nights

Attractions(Cities)：Shanghai, Xi'an, Beijing

Tour Style：Eight days across China's three landmark cities, joined by high-speed rail instead of early-morning flights. You begin in Shanghai - Yu Garden and its old bazaar, the plane-tree lanes of the Former French Concession, and a Huangpu river cruise past the lit skyline. A bullet train then carries you inland to Xi'an, home of the Terracotta Warriors, where rows of life-sized clay soldiers guard an emperor's tomb and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and busy Muslim Quarter fill your second city. A second high-speed leg brings you to Beijing: a hutong morning market, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and a drive out to the Badaling Great Wall. A private car and English-speaking guide are with you in every city, and lunch is left open on purpose so your guide can take you to a real local kitchen rather than a tour-bus hall.

Duration：7 Days, 6 Nights

Attractions(Cities)：Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Shichahai Ice Rink, Yandaixie Stree, Mutianyu Great Wall, Jiuhua Villa Hot Spring, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, Confucius Temple & Imperial College, Wudaoying Hutong, Nanshan Skiing, Gubei Water Town, Simatai Great Wall

Tour Style：Seven days in Beijing timed for winter, when the crowds thin and snow sets off the old rooftops and the Great Wall. You begin with the imperial core - Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City - then slip into a hutong morning market and Yandaixiejie Street for breakfast snacks. The season adds its own pleasures: skating on the open-air rink at Shichahai, a day on the slopes at Nanshan Ski Stadium, and two views of the Wall, snow-covered Mutianyu and lit Simatai above Gubei Water Town. Slower days take in the Summer Palace, the Lama Temple, and the Confucius Temple, ending with a hot-spring soak at Jiuhua Villa to thaw out. A private car and English-speaking guide stay with you through the cold, and lunch is left open on purpose so your guide can find a real noodle or dumpling house rather than a tour-bus hall.

Duration：8-10 Hours

Attractions(Cities)：Guibei Water Town, Simatai Great Wall

Tour Style：Leave Beijing around 12:30 and drive 105 km northeast to Simatai and Gubei Water Town — about 2 hours on the expressway with your private English-speaking guide and dedicated car. Gubei Water Town is a Ming-style water-village resort at the foot of the Wall, built around natural hot springs — canals, stone bridges, courtyard guesthouses and a couple of small museums worth ducking into. In the evening, the Simatai section of the Great Wall above the town lights up: original Ming masonry (1368–1644), very little restoration, one of the few sections open after dark. A cable car runs from the town square to the ridge; expect about an hour on the ramparts. Dinner at the town on your own bill (vegetarian or lighter orders easy), then the drive back to Beijing for drop-off at your hotel, station or airport. Total door to door: 8–10 hours.
