📌 Program Overview
This 3-day / 2-night Beijing private tour is designed for travelers who want imperial city highlights, Mutianyu Great Wall, and Gubei Water Town in one short route.
The itinerary combines the Forbidden City area, Jingshan Park, the Temple of Heaven, Mutianyu Great Wall, and Gubei Water Town.

👥 Who This Tour Is For
This tour is suitable for travelers who want a 3-day Beijing route with both classic city sightseeing and a more scenic overnight extension outside the city center.
It is a good option for couples, families, photographers, mature travelers, and small private groups who want imperial culture, the Great Wall, and water-town atmosphere without arranging hotels, tickets, transport, and guide service by themselves.
🧩 Customization Notes
This sample itinerary can be customized based on arrival time, departure time, hotel preference, room arrangement, group size, and preferred pace.
The standard route usually includes 1 night in Beijing and 1 night near or inside the Gubei Water Town area. If Gubei-area hotels are unavailable or not preferred, the route can be adjusted to stay 2 nights in Beijing with a revised transfer plan.
Forbidden City, Tiananmen-area entry, Mutianyu cable car, Gubei Water Town access, and optional Simatai Great Wall arrangements depend on ticket availability, opening rules, weather, and local operation.
