Tourist Bus
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.
Beijing Hub of Tour DispatchThe 'Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch' (北京旅游集散中心), set up in September, 2005, is a government-run company which provides special one-day tour package service to many famous attractions in and around Beijing City.
Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch has 3 dispatch centers in the Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) and Xuanwumen (宣武门). The founding of Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch aims to provide a convenient service for tourists to Beijing, and to stop illegal one-day tour package runners. The scope of business of the company covers domestic tourism, tourist passenger transport, bus rentals, and advertising.
Important Reminder:
You are better off buying tickets inside the ticket office of Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch, so that your will not be cheated by the illegal tourist buses and tour guides.

From the articel above, I get for you that the holiday tours are only available from April 7 to October 15. I advise you take part in a one-day beijing tour to Mutianyu instead.Hi. I'm planning to see eastern tombs on Saturday 12 November. Is a tourist bus still available on November or not? and about take the coach to Zunhua then change to local bus, How long will it take to the tombs? (I guess it should be around 4 hrs?) and can we go everyday by coach?
I also want to hire a taxi from beijing for a day trip but I heard they seldom want to go there because it's such a long way.

hi Shanshan,the tourist bus stops in November.
it takes about 4 hours if by coach + local bus. the coach is available everyday.
i suggest you take an one-day private tour.

I advise you book the transport from the hotel if possible. Or contact a reliable local travel company to book it, considering you are a group of 5.Do you have a tour package that goes to Badaling Great Wall & Badaling Ski Resort? If yes, how much would that be?
