Tourist buses are a special public service providing a convenience for tourists who want to go directly to scenic spots. The Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch has replaced the former special tourist buses, which were usually designated with the Chinese character '游' prefixing the bus numbers.

since lunch is included in the price, so they will provide you lunch at lunchtime. the Beijing Hub of Tourists Dispatch will arrange the whole trip. the detailed arrangement is as follows:
Before 8:00
Qianmen-Badaling(120min)-Yuluyuan(80min for lunch)-Ming Tombs(80min)-Return
After 8:00
Qianmen-Ming Tombs(80min)-Yuluyuan(80min for lunch)-Great Wall(120min)-Return to Qianmen

Hi,
I would like to go to Badaling Great Wall. Is the bus still running (questions on this tour in this blog are unanswered)? Is it running on weekends? How long time can we spend at the site?
Thanks,
Vladimir

you can go to Deshengmen to take Bus No. 916 to Badaling. the Bus runs everyday from 06:00-17:00. you need to spend 3.5 - 5 hours at the site.

Thanks for your reply. I was planning to go to Huairou Qinglong Gorge Bungee. I read about it on a website. How do you recommend me to go there? I am currently at Beijing Jiaotong University.

you can take a Bus No. 16 or 26 to Xizhimen Subway station, then take Subway Line 2 to Dongzhimen Station. then take Bus No. 936 (Branch)to Qinglong Gorge.

Hi,

I am here in Beijing for 2 months. I wished to go for Bungee Jumping this weekend. Is it open on weekends? If yes, what will be the easiest mode to reach there? Do I need to take some of my chinese friends with me (as I donot know chinese language)?

Reply7/4/2010 10:46:00 PMAnsh ,   India

Lily :7/5/2010 9:03:00 PM

i think it if open on weekend,but where do you plan to go, there are many place in Beijing where you can go for Bungee Jumping. if you don't know Chinese language, you'd better take your Chinese friends.

if i want to take a day trip to mutianyu great wall entrance, which bus should i take and from where and what time?

If you are in Beijing, you may Take Bus No. 916 or 936 from Dongzhimen Bus Station to Huairou International Confenrence Center, and then take a mini-bus or taxi to Mutianyu.

I think it is open.

Hi, thanks for your great site!

I'm hoping to go to Longqing gorge on saturday 3/4/2010 from central beijing. will the tourist bus 919 be running on this date from deshengmen?

Also, is it possible to return from the gorge on monday 5/4/2010 by tourist bus? i know that it is not a weekend, but as it is a chinese national holiday maybe it is an option?

if the tourist bus is not working on monday 5/4/2010, how can you get back to central beijing? are there other buses?

thanks very much for your help

james

There isn't regular time for the bus to return from Mutianyu, and the ticket can't be booked in advance.
