Know before you book

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Specialised infant seats are available
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Free pickup and drop-off are included at your city centre hotel. If your hotel is located outside this area, an additional mileage fee will apply, or you may join us at a designated meeting point. Please be ready 5 minutes before the pickup time confirmed on the previous day. No-shows will not be refunded.
  • The Forbidden City requires a real-name reservation 7 days in advance and tickets are easily sold out. We highly recommend booking your tour as early as possible; otherwise, international travellers may need to line up to buy tickets on site.
  • Please provide your accurate passport information for real-name ticket bookings, and make sure to carry the same valid ID on the tour day; otherwise, the scenic area will deny entry.
  • Chinese nationals, including guests from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, need to provide their official Chinese names and book at least 7 days in advance.
  • Your expert guide will help you breeze through security checks at Tiananmen Square. Leave your bag in the car and carry only your passport and bottled water to speed up the progress.
  • Great Wall Toboggan: For safety, it is not available for guests over 60, pregnant women, and children under 3. Children aged 3 to 10 may ride when accompanied by an adult. Don’t worry if the toboggan isn’t for you – the return cable car or chairlift is suitable for everyone.
  • This tour is not recommended for guests aged 85 and above.
