Land only packages include everything you see in the tour itinerary except the transpacific flights. A free transfer from the airport to hotel is also included with the land package provided that you land on the same day and same airport as the standard tour group. The group will land in Beijing (PEK) airport at 6pm in Terminal 3. If you land in a different terminal, there is a free shuttle bus that can transfer you to meet the group in Terminal 3. The guide is normally standing near the giant marble white dragon wall closest to the Terminal 3 exit. 

 

If you land in PEK airport more than 2 hours prior to the group's arrival (but still on the same arrival date as the group), you may take a metered taxicab to the group hotel. If you land any time after 6pm (but still on the same arrival date as the group), you may also take a metered taxicab to the group hotel. Don't forget to ask the cab driver for a receipt because the guide in Beijing cannot reimburse you without one. If you arrive into Beijing a day or more in advance of the group, transportation will be at your own expense.

 

A free transfer from hotel to airport is also included with the land package provided that you depart the same day and out of the same airport and hotel as the group. Otherwise, the transfer will be at your own expense. The group will take the Maglev Train to the Pudong (PVG) airport to catch their flight back to SFO. All tours that end in Shanghai, the domestic flight from Shanghai to Beijing on the last day of your trip is not included in the land package price. As for HC tours, the domestic flight from Beijing to Shanghai in the beginning of your trip is not included in the land package price. These flights are booked in conjunction with the international air. Please contact our office if you need assistance in purchasing a connecting flight between cities. Different rules may apply for private/custom packages depending on our agreement.
