• Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - In the morning, a professional guide will meet guests in the hotel lobby, and a spacious, comfortable chauffeur-driven minivan will transport them to Tiananmen Square. Guests can enjoy a morning stroll around this city square with their guide and capture distant view photos of iconic landmarks such as the Monument to the People’s Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao.
• Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - Passing through the Gate of Heavenly Peace, adorned with Chairman Mao’s portrait, guests will reach the highlight of the morning - the 600-year-old Forbidden City. This is the largest and most well-preserved imperial palace complex from the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911 AD).

The grand Forbidden City boasts 9,999 rooms! Which parts are the most essential and intriguing? The experienced itinerary designer has carefully selected the top 10 palaces, including major ones on the traditional central axis and some unique chambers on the east and west wings.

Note: As the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, the tour designer has thoughtfully chosen the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square & the Forbidden City if the travel date falls on a Monday. The Summer Palace is the largest and best-preserved royal garden in the world, offering travelers a wonderful opportunity to admire its serene landscapes and magnificent architecture.

• Mutianyu Great Wall - After a 1.5-hour drive, guests will arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall, the best-preserved and most popular section in Beijing. The itinerary designer has wisely chosen the afternoon for this visit to avoid crowds, allowing at least 2.5 hours to explore the wall and take beautiful photos.
• Back Lakes (Hou Hai) - Finally, the tour guide will accompany guests to the Houhai Lake Area and Yandaixiejie Hutong, a quintessential representation of old Beijing. With a variety of specialty bars, cafes, and restaurants, it is the perfect place to discover the unique charm of the old alleyways, enjoy the stunning scenery of Houhai Lake, sample authentic local food and snacks, or simply experience the vibrant nightlife of Beijing. Guests can explore leisurely on their own and return to the hotel by taxi if they wish.

For those interested in exploring the area independently at night, there will be a 5-minute stop to drop them off. The rest will be driven back to the hotel. We hope everyone has enjoyed this day trip with us!

• Important note: Entrance tickets of the Forbidden City are usually released online 7 days in advance and could be easily sold out. Kindly advise you to book the tour 8 days before since the ticket purchase is based on the real name policy.
• We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. If any itineraries don’t mention No Shopping Stops, they MUST have shopping stops as jade factory or tea ceremony. Even you don’t see shopping related words in their spamming itineraries, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with the operators about the shopping stops and read reviews from their clients carefully to see what the real experience would be. By joining a shopping tour, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and you will be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called jade factory or tea ceremony is the tourist trap. You have to stay there an hour or more for travel agents to get the commission. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops.
• The itinerary schedule or sightseeing order may be adjusted according to the traffic on the tour day.
• We offer free pick-up within the third ring road of the Beijing city. To ensure the morning pick-up going smoothly, we suggest you choose centrally located downtown hotels. If your hotel is beyond our free pick-up range, you may need to get to a meeting point or pay extra for the pick-up. Your travel consultant is ready to help.
• Group Size: About 11 people. There are chances that 10% of the tour groups will exceed 9 people but we will make proper arrangements.
• Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, this tour designer carefully choose the morning visit to the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square & the Forbidden City if your travel date happens to meet Monday.
