Itinerary

1. Your professional guide and private driver will pick you up directly from your hotel in Shanghai, then transfer you to the high-speed train station for your bullet train ride to Beijing. The one-way high-speed bullet train journey from Shanghai to Beijing takes approximately 4.5 hours, and you will travel independently on the train (train tickets are included in the tour package). Upon arrival at Beijing South Railway Station, your local English-speaking guide and private car will be waiting for you. Your guide will share the latest real-time traffic conditions in Beijing and recommend the optimal Great Wall section to visit for the day, with tailored details on Juyongguan, Badaling and Mutianyu for your choice:

2. - Juyongguan Great Wall: The closest section to downtown Beijing with the fastest access. There is no cable car here, but the parking lot is just a short walk from the hiking trails to the wall. - Badaling Great Wall: A popular and easily accessible option with VIP entry access arranged for you to skip the regular queues. Cable car service is available for a convenient up-and-down experience on the wall. - Mutianyu Great Wall: A top favorite among international travelers, featuring the unique ski lift up and toboggan down experience. Note that long entry queues may occur during peak tourist seasons, and combined with potential traffic delays, this section may require more time for the full visit.

Duration: 120 mins

3. After confirming your chosen Great Wall section, you will take the private transfer to your destination which takes between 1 to 1.5 hours. During this journey, your English-speaking guide will share in-depth historical commentary on the Great Wall, including its 2,000+ years of history, its role as a symbol of ancient Chinese ingenuity and defense, and fascinating stories of its construction and historical significance. Lunch is not included in this tour package. If you wish to have food, you can purchase snacks along the way. Once you arrive at the Great Wall, you will follow your guide to hike and explore the ancient structure together. Your guide will accompany you throughout the climb, pointing out key features such as beacon towers and watchtowers, and sharing vivid stories behind the Great Wall — from the legends of its builders to its role in protecting ancient China’s northern borders, bringing this iconic historical site to life with engaging and informative commentary.

4. After your Great Wall exploration, you have two options to conclude your tour: either take the private transfer back to Beijing South Railway Station for your return bullet train to Shanghai, where our driver will pick you up at the Shanghai high-speed train station and transfer you back to your Shanghai hotel; or you may choose to end your tour in Beijing at this point to continue your independent exploration of the city.
