Speedy rail links between central Beijing and the city suburbs are being developed rapidly, and it is now possible to reach the countryside and many tourist attractions that surround the city with ease and in comfort. The Tourist Train has the advantage of being fast, inexpensive and efficient, taking you directly to the desired tourist attractions. By making full use of the extensive railroad resources that surround Beijing, this is an environmentally friendly mode of suburban transport.

Another very important benefit is free travel if you purchase your admission tickets for the attractions prior to setting out on your trip.

For larger groups a free ticket is granted for each additional group of 10 people. Passengers who buy their admission tickets for the scenic spots at the authorized ticket offices can take the Tourist Trains departing from Beijing Railway Station, Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing North Railway Station and Beijing South Railway Station for free. Depending upon your train number, you can also take the Tourist Train at Pingguoyuan and Qinghuayuan subway stations.

Without admission tickets for the scenic spots, You can purchase the train ticket on that day or in advance in Beijing Railway Station, Beijing North Railway Station and Beijing South Railway Station. You could also buy the train tickets after getting on the trains. If you are a group of 10 or more tourists, you can buy the tickets by telephone 3 to 10 days ahead of time and enjoy the visiting service. The ticket booking hot line: 010-65636733.

Yes. The No.Y563 train is one the six trains from Beijing North to Badaling. I have provided you the schedule of trains from Badaling to Beijing North (the return trains schedule you wanted). It got them from the latest train schedule. The Badaling Station is several kilometers away from the Great Wall, you can walk there or by taxi.

Hi, Michelle
We are sorry that this page's information is being updated. According to the latest news, the Gubeikou Railway Station has stopped the operation of passenger train. So the original N3/4 train has stopped the service. Now the best way to Gubeikou is taking the No. 9477 Beijing-Chengde bus at Sihui Long-distance Bus Station.
