What our customers ask about China Tours from Beijing
What's the best time of year to start a tour in Beijing?
The most agreeable conditions for Beijing tours occur during spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) when mild temperatures and clear skies prevail. Travel data from TourRadar points to September and October as peak departure months. One traveler's experience reflects this saying "The weather in early October was perfect for exploring the Forbidden City and climbing the Great Wall - not too hot or cold."
What are the essential landmarks visited on the first few days in Beijing?
The opening days of Beijing tours focus on key sites: Tiananmen Square the Forbidden City Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. Most itineraries reserve day 2 or 3 for the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall including cable car access. Accommodations center around hotels like the Sunworld Hotel Beijing or Hotel New Otani Chang Fu Gong. A TourRadar guest noted "The Beijing portion was excellent. The guide was awesome and very accommodating with showing us all the key sites."
How long should I plan to stay in Beijing before continuing to other destinations?
Standard tour packages allocate 3-4 days to Beijing before moving to cities like Xi'an or Shanghai. This timeframe lets visitors explore major sites while getting used to the local time zone. A TourRadar participant shared: "Three full days gave us perfect time to explore the key sites without feeling rushed starting with the Forbidden City and ending at the Great Wall."
What are the common starting locations within Beijing for these tours?
Tour departures concentrate in three main Beijing districts: Wangfujing where the Sunworld Hotel stands Dongcheng near Tiananmen Square and Chaoyang. According to a TourRadar participant "starting from the Sunworld Hotel was ideal as it provided easy access to the subway and major attractions like the Forbidden City and local markets."
What dining experiences are included in Beijing tours?
The food program typically combines hotel breakfasts with local dining experiences including Peking duck at establishments like DaDong or Quanjude. Many tours schedule lunch near the Great Wall at venues such as the Schoolhouse at Mutianyu. One TourRadar guest observed: "The mix of hotel breakfasts and local restaurants gave us a great taste of authentic Beijing cuisine."
What's the typical travel time from Beijing to popular next destinations?
High-speed rail connects Beijing to Xi'an in 5-5.5 hours and Shanghai in 4.5 hours. Air routes to Chengdu or Guilin take 2-3 hours. Tours prioritize comfortable transport with designated seating as noted by TourRadar guests who valued "the seamless transitions between cities."
