FLEXIBLE ROUTE IDEA
Beijing — Great Wall · 5 days
Five days combine Beijing's imperial center and hutong life with a full Great Wall outing and enough recovery time after the mountain walk.
This is a planning framework, not a fixed group tour. Stops, transport and daily pace can all be changed.

Main interests
- Days 1–3
Beijing
Use the imperial central axis, hutong neighborhoods and public parks to compare historic and present-day Beijing.
Continue to: Great Wall · Private car
- Days 4–5
Great Wall
Choose the wall section by fitness and crowd level, then allow a full mountain day for walking, viewpoints and transfers.
Arrival and departure
Treat the Great Wall as a full-day return journey from Beijing by private car. Stay in Beijing on the final night unless a carefully chosen wall-side hotel and next-day transfer have already been confirmed.
Why this route works
Three city days establish the historical context; the Great Wall section is then chosen by fitness, weather and crowd preference rather than by a fixed package.
