Hi, I just want a trip to Great Wall, Ming Tomb & Summer Palace. How much for 2 pax?
Reply
Dear Chia,
It is impossible to visit all three places as you motioned in one day. If you want to visit all the places, I recommend you to take two tours:
1. Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven & Summer Palace Bus Tour (daily except for Monday)
2. Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour (Daily available)
Or if you have only one day available, you may consider the following tour:
Summer Palace and Badaling Great Wall, daily available.
