About this tour

asian food • culture • historical sights • adventure • budget-friendly

Get ready for an unforgettable 12-night escape to Beijing—a city where ancient history meets buzzing modern energy. This deal includes roundtrip flights from London for just £306, and we’ve scoped out some amazing budget-friendly hotel options right in the heart of the city.

Whether you’re dreaming of walking the Great Wall, hunting for hidden gems in the hutongs, or tasting your way through sizzling street markets, Beijing offers the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and unbeatable food.

It’s the kind of trip that feels once-in-a-lifetime, but thanks to this deal, it won’t break the bank. From the Forbidden City to late-night dumpling runs, you’ll experience Beijing like a savvy local—and with 12 full days to explore, there’s no need to rush a thing.

Voyara Insider’s personal note: Beijing is a city full of history, and can served as the perfect base to travel around China. 3-4 days is enough for this city, so you spend the rest of time flying to other main cities in China! So if you want a perfectly-organised trip from someone who has already done all the research for you, contact us through The Itinerary Architect and we’ll make your dream trip happen!

Highlights

  • Walk along the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu—less crowded and just as epic.
  • Explore the Forbidden City, the largest ancient palace in the world.
  • Get lost in the hutongs, Beijing’s historic alleyways packed with charm and street eats.
  • Watch a traditional kung fu or acrobatics show for a true local experience.
  • Try Beijing duck at a local joint (hint: skip the touristy chains—small restaurants do it best).

Beijing Zhong'an Hotel (3*)

  • Access to an on-site restaurant, fitness centre, and meeting rooms.
  • 700m away from Beijing Railway Station.
  • An outstanding 4.7/5 rating on Trip.com, with guests praising its staff (4.8), location (4.7) and cleanliness (4.7).

Voyara's Insider Tip: We strongly recommend being part of Trip.com's members programme. It is completely free, and in the majority of cases you get a discount (the more stays you book, the larger the discount). For this deal, it brings our price down to £450 total (£37/night), which makes this deal even better. We're Diamond Tier members, so the discount is likely to be larger, but even if you've never booked before, it will most likely give you around 10% off. Any discount is a good deal!

Voyara's Recommended Experiences:

  • Climb the Great Wall at sunrise at Mutianyu—it’s peaceful, scenic, and far less touristy than Badaling.
  • Visit the Summer Palace for lakeside views, stunning temples, and boat rides.
  • Stroll through 798 Art District, a cool mix of street art, indie galleries, and local cafés.

Voyara's Local Insights:

  • Use the Beijing Metro—it's super clean, efficient, and a ride only costs about ¥3–6 (~35–70p).
  • Skip the expensive tours and take Bus 877 to the Great Wall at Badaling for under £2.
  • Get a Beijing Transportation Smart Card for metro and bus rides—it saves time and tiny cash discounts add up!

Voyara-approved Restaurants & Cafés

  • Jia San Soup Dumplings (Xianyu Kou) – locals queue for these juicy dumplings, and they’re worth every minute.
  • Mr. Shi’s Dumplings (Hutong area) – fun vibe and loads of flavour-packed veggie options.
  • Fika Café in 798 Art Zone – a quiet spot with strong coffee and sweet buns, perfect for a recharge between gallery stops.

Sometimes the best way of seeing a city's main attractions is doing it through booked tours and activities. We recommend you book these through Viator.com (4.3 stars on Trustpilot); we've used them countless times and they've never disappointed.
