Plan your Beijing tour<\/a>? Beijing has lots to offer. Though 2 or 3 full days are enough for you to grab the highlights of Beijing, more days are needed to have a better feel of the historical and modern city of Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we receive an enquiry from a client named Mrs.Vered. We are amazed by her clear and detailed description for what they want for their 8-day trip to Beijing. Empowered by internet, a layman could possibly become a destination expert in a relatively short time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are much pleased to post her 8-day travel plan with slight modification for future visitors to share, and followed by my own version of Beijing 8 day travel arrangement ( day by day ) per their travel plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Tour Beijing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband and me are considering to come for a visit in Beijing in mid November for 8 days. We read in your web site about the main attractions and listed them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like also to get out of the city and see some nature (my husband is a botanist), this can be connected with the great wall walk and with the Cuandixia Village visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you please go through this list and let us know if it\u2019s good for 8 days or whether we have missed any interesting attraction (by the way, we don\u2019t like the opera and theater shows\u2026.) and prepare for us a 8 days schedule including a quote (no hotels) . In general, we prefer to have a car with a driver and English speaking tour guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
