Mornings start early to beat crowds at major sites; afternoons allow teahouse stops and relaxed exploration.

Demo“Our guide Lily timed the Forbidden City perfectly — we were ahead of the main tour groups all morning. Mutianyu was the highlight for our teenagers; the toboggan down was unexpected fun. Hotels were central and breakfast varied daily.”
