Day 1 Shanghai - Beijing
Hutong rickshaw tour
Welcome to take this 4 days Beijing trip from Shanghai. There are many high-speed trains running every day from morning to evening, with the fastest trains running for only 4.5 hours. We suggest you take the early train so that you can have more time to see Beijing. Take the train on your own and we will purchase the ticket for you in advance. Upon arrival, your guide will pick you up at the railway station, then you will have a Hutong rickshaw tour to learn about traditional Beijing culture. A rickshaw is an old vehicle drawn by man. You may travel through these old alleys with two persons on one rickshaw, which should be a unique experience. What's more, you will visit a local family to experience how to live like a Beijing local and see what the traditional quadrangle courtyard looks like. Finally, we will escort you to the hotel for a good rest.
Day 2 Beijing
Tiananmen Square
Your Shanghai Beijing tour package today will start from the center of the city, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square is the world's largest square in downtown area. To its north is the Forbidden City, the living place of 24 emperors in history. With the description of your guide, you can easily imagine the everyday life of the royal family. Then, the guide will take you to a nice restaurant and treat you with traditional Chinese cuisines. The a la carte lunch costs CNY150 per person and is included in our price.
This afternoon, we will drive you to the Summer Palace, which is a grand summer resort of the royal family. Different from the tiny ponds and exquisite rockeries in the Yuyuan Garden, which can only be viewed, in the Summer Palace, you can take a boat in the large mirror-like Kunming Lake, climb up the Longevity Hill, and stroll along the Long Corridor to feel the magnificence of this imperial garden.
Meals: Western buffet breakfast, a la carte lunch

Day 3 Beijing
Mutianyu Great Wall
Today, we will take you to the Mutianyu Great Wall, which has received numerous visitors from home and abroad. Climbing the Great Wall takes a great effort, so we specially arrange the round trip cable car to take you to the most beautiful part of the wall. You may have lunch around Mutianyu on your own, and your guide is willing to give you some suggestions.
In the afternoon, we arrange you a visit to the Temple of Heaven. On the way back, you will view the Olympic National Stadium (Bird's Nest) and National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) in a distance. The Temple of Heaven was the sacrificial altar for emperors to pray for the blessings of the God. But now, the park of the temple is a great place to immerse in local people's leisure life. Many citizens will gather here to exercise, chat, and dance.

ReplyApply for visa before buying flight tickets
Hi, I am from Sweden but live and work in Oslo since 30 years. Have visited many countries in Asia but never China. Will travel on one week tourist sightseeing from Bangkok to Shanghai and Beijing and back.
I can book hotel in advance but cannot book flight (with Thai Airways) if I cannot get visa approval.
Is this possible ?
Thanks Ralph Noren

ReplyCan I embark a cruise ship in Shanghai and do an excursion the next day with 144h-visa?
I will fly from Belgium via Dubai to SH. I would like to use a 144h-visa because the first port of call is in japan. I will stay two nights in SH before embarkation. The ship isn't leaving until the next day in the evening, so I would like to do another shore excursion. Is that possible with the 144h-visa or am I supposed to stay on the ship after embarkation?
Thanks in advance

00ReplyI hope that I have properly understood you. Everything is very clear until the time you have to embark your cruise ship. Also, everything is perfectly fine for 144 hours visa free transit until to the moment of embarkation.
I have understood, that you will embark at your ship, bound for Japan after you have spent two nights in Shanghai. Anyway, your ship is not departing until the evening hours of the day when you will embark, so you will have enough time for some other, short cruise along the shores of Shanghai area. I understand that it will be probably boring to stay the whole day on the ship that is docked next to the pier, but remember that at the very moment when you pass all the procedures at the cruise terminal and board the ship, you have legally crossed the border and exited from China and from that very moment your 144 hours visa free transit is over. So, you cannot exit the ship, make an entry back into China and take some other cruise, although a short one.
I just hope that I have properly understood your intentions.

00ReplyI have probably not understood you properly, but I assume that you would like to take a short cruise within Shanghai area after you have embarked your cruise, right? In this case, especially after you have performed border crossing formalities, your 144 hours visa free transit is over and you can just depart physically from China. In case that you have to go back across the border to embark for a short cruise, you will not be allowed to do that because you are not covered by 144 hours visa free transit any more or you should obtain a visa before your travel in China.

00ReplyThank you, Zupan.
That's exactly the information I was looking for. I'm sorry I didn't make myself very clear, but English is not my native language. I will board the cruise ship on February 14th and since the ship isn't leaving until February 15th in the evening, I wanted to do another excursion the second day. So now I know I can't do this with my 144h visa. Thanks again!

00ReplyDo you refer to Hongqiao Railway Station?
If yes, from Hongqiao Railway Station to Oriental Pearl Tower, take metro line 2 to Lujiazui Station, Exit 2. Then walk northwest around 400 meters to find the scenic area.
From Oriental Pearl Tower to Disneyland Resort, take take metro line 2 to Longyang Road Station and transfer to metro line 16 to Luoshan Road. Then take metro line 11 to Disneyland Resort.
