The day

Simple plan. Plenty of time on the Wall.

Meet the group in central Beijing, travel directly to Mutianyu and spend the main part of the day exploring at your own pace. No hotel pickup in the standard tour.

Meet at 08:00 at Zhangzizhonglu Subway Station Exit C on Line 5. The group departs together for Mutianyu by bus or minivan.

Arrive around 09:30. The VIP shuttle pass skips the internal shuttle-bus step. Your guide explains the meeting point and return time before you explore independently.

Enjoy five hours on the Wall from 09:30 to 14:30. Choose Bus + Guide + Ticket if you prefer to eat independently, or add lunch for a local Chinese-style meal during the visit.
