Looking back, by dinner we were still comparing notes about the Great Wall. That is usually how I judge whether a tour was worth doing. I would keep the Beijing outline as it was.

The unglamorous part: the practical side was solid: an easy pickup, sensible timing between stops, and no long sales detour disguised as sightseeing.

One thing I learned: the day ran a little longer once traffic was included. I was tired at the end, but not sorry we stayed for the Temple of Heaven.
