    I haven´t booked the hotel yet, and because of the hotel pick-up of this tour, I was wondering if you have any recommendations/ pick up area preference. I know you need the hotel to be in a specific zone, but I don´t know how to filter the hotels by "within the third ring road of the Beijing city".

    • Travel China GuideOperator•Written March 2025

      We can arrange free pickup from hotels within Beijing Fourth Ring Road. Your hotel is located far away from city center so you may need to come to a meeting point on your tour date. Normally speaking, it is another traveler's hotel that is close to yours. I will provide detailed information one day before your tour. If you wish us to pick you up and send you back to your hotel, there will be extra fee CNY600 (USD83 for reference) (double ways are included). May I have your idea?
