What To Expect
Shanghai Railway Station
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:
Mutianyu Great Wall
- 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.
