Question

Hi, we're a group of 5 planning to visit the wall on 29th Nov. Pl advise:1) what is the travelling time by car to the above-mentioned sections?2) are there cable cars in both sections?3) Possible to visit The Ming Tombs after visiting the walls on the same day?4) What's è travelling time by car from Ming Tombs back to BJ?Your assistance will be much appreciated.Regards, SphSingapore

Sim, it takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to reach BDL, 2 to 2.5 hours to reach Mutianyu. Cable car is available at both sections. If you plan to visit Ming Tombs, I suggest you visit BDL. It's ok for you to visit these two places in a day. If you are lucky and don't meet the traffic jam, you should be able to get back within 1.5 hours.

Hi Kris, much thanks for yr prompt reply! Can u advise of we can hire yr car (with local driver) & fit in some other places (if time permits)? Please also advise cost for the same. Would yr driver be able to start earlier (say 7am?) Or there's a fixed starting time? How much will it cost if we hire yr car from 7am~6pm?Tks.Sph

Sim, I think you can only go to BDL and Ming tombs in one day. There isn't enough time for you to visit other places. Actually, you can choose to hire a taxi to finish your trip. Or you can use the Car Rental Service provided by this website. You can click Car Rental on the top of the page and then have a live chat with them to inquire about the prices and times.
