Choose from two tailored packages to make the most of your Beijing layover—perfect for every traveler’s style and needs: 1: Transfer + Entry Tickets Package 2: Transfer + Professional Guide + Entry Tickets Package First, select your arrival airport (Beijing Capital International Airport or Beijing Daxing International Airport) so we can arrange seamless pickup. Your friendly driver will greet you at the terminal and escort you to a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a comfortable ride— the journey to the city center takes around 1 hour.

On the way to the Forbidden City, we recommend a scenic drive-around Tian’anmen Square instead of a stop. During peak travel seasons, lines to enter the square can stretch to 1–3 hours—time that’s far better spent exploring the imperial palace, and we want to ensure you never miss your connecting flight. Your Forbidden City entry pass is pre-booked and ready. On arrival, simply scan your passport at the checkpoint to skip the ticket lines and start your adventure. If you opt for the guide-inclusive package, your knowledgeable local guide will meet you in city. They’ll lead you through the Forbidden City’s most iconic halls and secret courtyards, sharing fascinating tales of imperial life, legends, and history that you’d never discover on a self-guided tour. Whether you’re traveling with just a driver or a guide, your companion will handle all timing logistics, ensuring your entire layover tour is perfectly synced with your flight schedule.
