Overview

A private three-day Beijing experience personally hosted by Lao Wang. One full day is dedicated to Jinshanling Great Wall. The other two days are designed around your interests, pace and priorities, with the itinerary planned by Lao Wang before the experience. The sights shown on this page are examples of how those days may be arranged rather than a fixed checklist. Depending on what interests you most, the days can focus on imperial Beijing, historic neighborhoods, parks, gardens, local life or contemporary areas. Private transportation and central Beijing hotel pickup and drop-off are included each day. The order and pace may also be adjusted for opening days, ticket availability, weather and crowds.
