Additional Information
If you have a layover spanning 5 to 10 hours in Beijing, consider disembarking and embarking on a private, adaptable layover excursion.
Take this opportunity to explore one, two, or even three of Beijing’s essential landmarks, such as the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, or experience a Rickshaw ride in the Hutongs of the city center. Engaging with the city’s culture is far more captivating than merely lounging in an airport seat and scrolling through your phone.
