What time does the 3 day Beijing trip return us to the airport? Would the 4 day trip be visa free? What does Badaling mean? Is it a place to view the wall? Is Hutong (not sure of spelling) a better place to view wall?

► Visa Free Stay
The 3 days visa free tour might takes around 4-5 hours for sightseeing, and maybe 2-3 hours will spend on the way. After visit the Temple of Heaven (1 hour) in the afternoon, you will be driven back to the airport to catching your flight to the next country. And 4 days trip will not be visa free. The new 72-hour visa free stay policy which will be effected since Jan 1st 2013 allow people who need to transit in China a more convenient way to have a short exploration of specified cities. This policy amis to stimulate the tourism of China and also would like to build a more strong bridge between China and the rest of the world.
