Carry your passport
You’ll need a passport for entrance and sometimes to buy tickets—bring a photocopy as a backup.
Comfortable shoes only
Stone steps on the Great Wall and long courtyards at palaces demand supportive, grippy footwear.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Two days of walking and a brief hike at Mutianyu require regular water and short breaks to avoid fatigue.
Use early/late windows
Ask your guide to schedule the Wall or Forbidden City visits for early morning or late afternoon to minimize crowds and harsh light.
Supportive walking shoes
Good traction and arch support make long palaces walks and Wall steps far more comfortable.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential during long walking days—many sites have refill stations or shops.

Spring showers are possible; a packable shell keeps you comfortable during outdoor sections.
