What you'll do

Your friendly guide will meet you at your Beijing hotel in the morning
During peak periods: April spring break, July–August summer vacation, Chinese Labor Day (May 1–7), National Day (October 1–7) and Spring Festival (mid-February), we will enjoy a hassle-free drive-by view of Tiananmen Square to avoid long security lines that often take 1–3 hours to enter. You’ll still get great views of all landmarks: the Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, Monument to the People’s Heroes, Tiananmen Rostrum, Great Hall of the People, and National Museum of China. We provide free reservation codes for the evening session at Tiananmen Square. Simply ask your guide for the code to visit independently after the tour. On all other off-peak dates, we will enter Tiananmen Square for a walking tour.
10 min
Then we will proceed to the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City) — the world’s large
st and best-preserved ancient imperial complex, with over 500 years of history. Constructed between 1406 and 1420, the palace has been damaged, looted, rebuilt and restored numerous times. As a result, most of the existing architecture dates from the 18th century onward.
2 hoursAdmission included
After lunch, we will proceed to the Summer Palace — one of China’s largest imperial gardens
Originally built as a royal retreat and temporary residence for Qing Dynasty emperors, you will stroll through the garden to admire its stunning scenery.
1h 30mAdmission included
Lastly, we will visit the Temple of Heaven — where ancient emperors prayed for national peace and abundant harvests
Located in southern Beijing, it has been one of China’s most sacred sites for over five centuries. This magnificent complex served as the main sacrificial altar for the Ming and Qing emperors.
