C) What to expect

With the self-guided option, visit Lama Temple once on your selected date and explore at your own pace using the English PDF guidebook and online audio guide（English, Korean, and Japanese）.

The full-day group tour starts at Tiantandongmen Station and connects the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and the Summer Palace in one day. Between visits, travel by vehicle, and enjoy a Peking duck lunch before the final stop.

The half-day group tour begins at the main entrance of Lama Temple. After the guided temple visit, continue with a guided walk through Wudaoying Hutong and finish there.

The private tour follows the same Lama Temple and Wudaoying Hutong route, but with a private English-speaking guide. After the walk, enjoy afternoon tea in Wudaoying Hutong before the experience ends.

D) Important notes

This listing includes four clearly different formats: self-guided entry, a full-day large-group city route, a half-day large-group temple and hutong tour, and a private temple and hutong tour with afternoon tea.

The self-guided option requires a separately sent official ticket, plus separately sent English support materials.

Guided options operate with fixed meeting arrangements sent before travel.

The private hutong option follows the same sightseeing route as the group hutong version, with the main upgrade being private guiding and afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea is served in Wudaoying Hutong after the walking portion of the private tour.
