lay over tour to the great wall of china

Question

Hello, We arrive early morning from Switzerland on our way to Thailand with a 14 hour stop in Beijing. We would like to go on a guided tour to The Great Wall of China and also the forbidden city, if possible. Will this require a visa or will it be enough with the 72 hours permit? We are Danish passport holders and I do seem to understand that we are covered by the agreement, but I am a bit uncertain whether we can go to these places or only the city centre. Thanks a lot!

Kristine, no need to worry. You are eligibelf or the 24 hour direct transit in Beijing. After arrival, you can just apply for a free temporary stay permit at the airport, and then you can go to visit the Great Wall.
