Heads Up
  1. Book Forbidden City and National Museum tickets in advance, as entry quotas can fill quickly.
  2. The Great Wall day involves a longer transfer, so start early and avoid relying on late-evening travel back into the city.
  3. June can be hot and crowded; carry water, sun protection, and allow extra time for security checks at major sites.
  4. If you want a cable car or toboggan at Mutianyu, confirm operating hours and queue times on the day of travel.
