6D Beijing Value Tour: Imperial Wonders & Modern Attractions

Q: Why is there a compulsory tour fee of RMB 500, and when do I pay it?

To offer an incredibly competitive base price, certain high-value activities (the Beijing Acrobatic Show, the Wangfujing Street visit, and the traditional Hutong Rickshaw tour) are bundled into this local package. This fee is standard for value-tier tours in China and is collected in cash by your local tour guide on the first couple of days of the trip.

Q: What are the guidelines regarding the mandatory service fee?

Tipping on the ground is a required part of the tour package structure. The local service fee is RMB 180 per person to cover your local guide and driver. If your group is large enough (20 or more travelers) to have a dedicated tour leader fly out with you from Singapore, an additional service fee of SGD $30 per person will be collected for the tour leader.

Q: How physically demanding is this tour?

You should prepare for a moderate to high level of walking. Sprawling imperial complexes like the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace involve walking several kilometers on flat stone pavements. Additionally, climbing the steps at the Juyongguan Great Wall can be physically challenging due to its steep terrain. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended.

Q: How do I book the optional Beijing Universal Studios excursion on Day 4?

The optional day trip to Universal Studios costs RMB 748 per person (which covers both your park admission ticket and return transfers with your guide). Because theme park ticket availability is limited, you must register and confirm this add-on with your booking agent before departure to guarantee ticket purchases.

Q: What language will the tour be conducted in?

This is a Mandarin-speaking tour, and all commentary, instructions, and guided walks are conducted in Mandarin.

Q: What happens if the cruise on Kunming Lake is closed during my visit?

The boat cruise along Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace is subject to seasonal closures and weather conditions (especially during late autumn and winter when the water can freeze). If it is closed, the cruise will be replaced with an excursion to the nearby historic Yuanmingyuan (the Old Summer Palace ruins).
