• Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) - Tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby or capital airport. Then you will follow tour guide to take subway to Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is a monument to classical Chinese architecture, in terms of both garden design and construction. In December 1998, it was inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO, which commented as follows:

1. The Summer Palace in Beijing is an outstanding expression of the creative art of Chinese landscape garden design, incorporating the works of humankind and nature in a harmonious whole;
2. The Summer Palace epitomizes the philosophy and practice of Chinese garden design, which played a key role in the development of this cultural form throughout the east;
3. The imperial Chinese garden, illustrated by the Summer Palace, is a potent symbol of one of the major world civilizations.

At present, the Summer Palace has become one of the top famous tourist attractions in Beijing and China.

• Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - We will then take subway (about 40mins ride) to Tiananmen Square from Summer Palace. It is situated in the centre of Beijing City. It is the original gate of the Imperial Palace (more commonly known as the Forbidden City). Thousands of people come to the Square everyday. Tiananmen Square and its surroundings are a must-see for people visiting China. Aside from the beautiful structures, breathtaking monuments and flowers, there is a lot to learn about the history of one of the oldest cultures in the world.
• Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - The Forbidden City used to be the residence for the Emperors (24 emperors in total) in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. It occupies 72 hectares (180 acres) and takes about 2 hours to see the whole palace museum.

Since Forbidden city is closed on Monday, so we will take you to see Olympic park instead if you would come on Monday. (Pay extra if you want to go inside the stadium. )
