Price
Per person, in US dollars. The price covers the guide, the ground service, and the hotels, transport, meals and tickets in the itinerary, and it falls as the group grows. What a price includes and leaves out.

Premium hotels and first-class rail raise the price: the selectors on Private Tours show by how much. The final price is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Why This Route
Beijing has two of the 40 theme parks on the PreeChina theme map: Universal Beijing Resort, which opened in 2021, and Happy Valley Beijing. A Sino-US joint venture runs the Universal resort, and Universal Parks & Resorts is the brand licensor.
Most groups visit Beijing for the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, so this route places the parks between those days. See the Theme parks theme map for all 40 parks, and the Beijing city guide for the rest of the city.
Tickets, opening hours and reservations change, so PreeChina confirms each park before you travel.
Itinerary
Universal Beijing Resort (北京环球度假区), in Tongzhou District.
A Great Wall day: Mutianyu, Badaling or Jinshanling.
Happy Valley Beijing (北京欢乐谷), or the Summer Palace for a quieter day.
The city: the Forbidden City area or the Temple of Heaven area.
We do not list clock times here: your private itinerary sets the pace, the order and the start time with you. Tickets, opening hours and reservations change, so we confirm each venue before the trip.

Independent Travel
Arranging these 3 stops yourself keeps the budget lower. It also means booking each one and the transfers between them. Compare a private tour with independent travel, or ask PreeChina to plan it.
Custom Tour
This route is a starting point: 4 days and 3 stops. PreeChina plans it as a private, tailor-made trip and changes the stops, the days and the pace to your group.
Questions
Universal Beijing Resort and Happy Valley Beijing.
We plan it as 4 days. A group can use just the Universal day and the Great Wall day to make it shorter.
Yes. The route is built for families with children and mixed ages, and the pace is set with you.
Anyone who can spare only one day. The route is planned over 4 days with 3 nights on the road, and it does not shrink well.
