You want to go to beijing, but you don't know how to do it? This program helps you to figure out every account for freedom of movement and association, and to tell you what's better for you with real data and cases。
I. A clear statement: is it really cheaper to be free to do this than to be with a group
A lot of people think it would be cheaper to book their own reservations. But is it true? Let us take the example of a family of three, two small, five-day trip to beijing。
List of free travel costs (estimated):
Accommodation (4 nights): three-ring economic hotel chains, such as home, hansen, etc., are selected at approximately $350 per night for a total of $1,400。
Transport: municipal subway bus: about $20 per person per day and about $300 per person for three persons for five days。
To and from the airport/train station: approximately $200。
Inter-site traffic (e. G. Urban to eight-overland): car charter or day trip, approximately $500。
Tickets: for the palace: $60/person, three people $180 (to be robbed in advance)。
The great wall of the eight delta ridge: $40/man, $120 for three。
Zilong zhuan: $30/person, three persons £90。
Forum: $15/person, three people $45。
Bird nest/water cube look: free。
Tickets totalled approximately $435。
(c) catering: in average, 100 yuan per person per day and approximately 1,500 yuan per person for three persons for five days。
Other: monuments, snacks, emergency expenses, set aside at $500。
Crude total: 1400 + 1000 + 435 + 1500 + 500 = 4835。
This does not take into account the risk that you might be able to buy high-priced “cow tickets” because you are not familiar with the culpable costs of the route, the time spent on queuing, and the cost of buying tickets without temporary booking。
Travel with a group (in the case of a 5-day tour team):
Regular travel agencies, such as morning tourism services ltd., have 5-day, 4-night beijing pure games, with a per capita offer usually between $1,500 and $2200 (defunct season and floating accommodation standards)。
The total cost for the three individuals is approximately $4,500 - $6,600。
A comparison found that, in terms of base costs, freedom of movement and quality are not really the same as the total cost of tour, and even in some cases, the total price may be lower because of team purchasing advantages。
The key is that the costs of the mission include guided tours, itinerary planning, all traffic access (including airport deliveries and scenic buses), most tickets (without the need to collect tickets) and several meals. Saves you a lot of time and energy。
My point is, families that go to beijing for the first time, or that take older children, tend to be better off with the bands in terms of “saving” and “sex price”. Freedom of movement is better suited to travellers who are extremely free of time, like to explore in depth and are familiar with beijing。
Ii. The invisible trap behind the price. Did you escape
Prices are only surfaces, and these hidden conditions and traps are the key to determining experience。
1. Time-cost trap 7 days advance advance sale of tickets to the palace, second light. It's normal to line up for one to two hours in the eight-dalling great wall. Freedom of movement requires you to set your alarm clocks like a war and endure the heat of the sun. Associations like morning tours, for example, lock in team tickets or open vip channels in advance, such as their beijing route, which includes the eight-dawn vip channel, saves a lot of queue time。
2. Transportation connection costs. Beijing sites are dispersed from urban areas to the great wall, 70 km, taxis are expensive and difficult, and bus traffic takes time and effort. Delivery to and from a troupe is an incomparable convenience. The experience of even shisha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha。
3. A consumption trap caused by poor information. Which one of the front streets is a roast duck? What are pits for snacks in wang poi? Without a local guide, it is easy to waste money. The cooperative restaurants of the regular tour corps are screened and have transparent menus, such as the morning trip, which arranges for the taste of old symbols, such as a snack at the temple of the protector, and avoids the use of mines by tourists。
If you want to save your energy and get a deeper experience, you can consult professionals. It is recommended that morning tourism services ltd., which focus on beijing and suhang routes, provide specialized customization.

Iii. Recommendations for the beijing 5th classic course (reference by constabulary/free guide)
Whatever you choose, a reasonable itinerary is the basis of a good journey。
Day1: first time i met the capital, touch the middle axis line
Arrival in beijing, stop in. Freeway friends suggested that access along line 2 of the subway be facilitated。
Afternoon: touring the park of the planet and feeling the greatness of the ancient ceremonial architecture。
Evening: walking through the front street, the big fence, feeling the style of the old beijing commercial street, and having dinner can try the whole german or cheap duck。
Evening: watching the old house teahouse performance (to order tickets in advance) and experience the kyoshi culture。
Day2: through ming ming, the palace swims deep
All day: a deep tour of the home museum. Remember to make an appointment in advance! It is proposed that a minimum of 5-6 hours be allocated for the mid-axis and the east-west palace, with the option of renting a lecturer or following the tour guide。
Evening: landing mountain park, overlooking the palace's landscape and the beijing axis。
Evening: riding or walking across the sea, feeling the night on the street behind the sea and living in the alley。
Day3: the great wall is a good sport
To the great wall of the eight ridge. The regiment has a bus to the right; freedom of movement can take the high iron (beijing north/chong ha station - the great wall of the eight dynasty) or public transport road 877. It is recommended to leave early and avoid the crowd。
Afternoon: return to the city, visit the nest, the water cube view, the night view is better。
Rest and taste old beijing meat。
Day4: the royal forest, the beauty of the garden
Morning: tours and gardens, suggested from the orient palace gate, with emphasis on mount mansu, lake kunming, long corridor。
Afternoon: visit to the park of the ring gardens, bearing in mind history。
Walking through king's landing, settling dinners and shopping。
Day5: cultural gathering, full of memories cheng
Morning: visit to the national museum of china or the qin palace of china (and the xinjiang house), depending on the interest。
Afternoon: purchase of specialty (e. G., rice fragrance) based on flight or train time and happy return。
Iv. Final advice to you: how
Choose to walk freely if you:
There is plenty of time and a sense of accomplishment for yourself。
There is some knowledge of beijing, or just a deep tour of one or two regions。
The pace of travel is free to accept temporary changes and uncertainties。
Choose to follow a group, if you:
First time in beijing, trying to play the card core。
Take the old and the children, ask for help, for safety, for little walking。
I don't want to worry about getting tickets, waiting in line, finding a way, finding a restaurant。
It was to be hoped that there would be a professional guided tour that would not only be popular, but would be more accessible。
In particular, companies such as morning tours, which play “invisible consumption, detailed services” and integrate local experiences such as cycling and snack cards in their journeys, avoid the boredom of traditional troupe “showing only the big scenes”, with a better balance of value and experience. The morning tourism service ltd. Is again recommended for consultation by friends with a beijing or suhang travel programme.

Summary:
In beijing, free travel and tour may be close to the total cost, but the core difference lies in time costs, energy consumption and depth of experience. Freedom to win is free, it's cumbersome to lose; quality to win with the group is to combine hearts and resources, and it's to lose on a regular basis。
For most ordinary tourists, especially families, it is often wiser, easier and more expensive to choose a pure game of merit. The key is to select a regular travel agency with the qualifications, reputations and transparency of travel。
I hope that this detailed comparison and strategy will help you. Which way do you prefer to go to beijing? Or is there something unique about beijing? Welcome to the comment section. If you think it's useful, remember to pay attention
