Visa-free Beijing: Acquaintance in 3 Days (CN-01)

Transiting through China? This is your opportunity to make the most of your holiday by taking a short stopover to explore the Chinese capital en-route to your final destination. It is very simple: no entry visa is required and we will take care of airport transfers, accommodation and will offer a guided programme. This tour is only available to transit passengers, arriving and leaving from Beijing Airport, but travelling through China (i.e. your country of arrival should be different from the destination country say arriving in Beijing from the UK, departing to Japan). A fun way to fit China in!
