Beijing classics in 3 days
Palace axis, Temple of Heaven, and a Great Wall day — paced for first-time visitors. Extend with the trip planner for multi-city HSR legs.
Catalog sketchDemo HSR labels only
Curated pacing from published attractions — not a tour booking. HSR legs cite catalog corridors with demo duration bands; verify live schedules and seats on official railway channels. Prefer the trip planner for longer multi-city china itinerary builds (including 10-day templates).
Day 1
Timed entry; pair with Jingshan views if energy allows.
Day 2
Full day with transit buffer.
Day 3
Hutong walk + departure buffer
Keep flexible for station/airport transfer. If continuing by HSR (e.g. Beijing–Shanghai or Beijing–Xi’an), verify live schedules on official channels — corridor pages carry demo duration bands only.
