What To Expect

Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

Meet your private guide at your hotel at 8:30am for the short drive to Tiananmen Square, an urban enclave that has witnessed hundreds of years of Chinese history. Since Chairman Mao first stood in the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tiananmen Tower) and proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949, it has been the symbolic center of China.

Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

From here, you'll walk to the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most tour groups hurry along the central axis of the Forbidden City. Your guide will show you a different and less crowded route. You'll walk on the newly opened, 26-foot (8-meter) wall to get a bird's-eye view of the complex as a whole, enter the Watchtower and the East Gate, and explore the Hall of Clocks and Watches and the Treasure Gallery, home to exquisite artifacts hand-crafted in gold, jewels, and jade.

Your guide will introduce you to some of the characters who lived here as you visit their favorite haunts: learn about the Qianlong Emperor, who ruled China for over 80 years, as you visit his garden, and the powerful Dowager Empress Cixi as you see her bedroom and the theater where she watched her favorite Peking Opera.

Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)

After an imperial-style lunch at Beijing’s oldest imperial restaurant—Fangshan—on an island in Beihai Park, continue to see Summer Palace. Besides taking a chartered boat for one hour, your guide will also lead you to the living and working quarters of the emperor and empress; the Long Corridor, an elegant covered walkway with 14,000 exquisite pictures; and the Marble Boat, built by Emperor Qianlong as a symbol of imperial stability.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Included

Central Radio and Television Tower (Zhongyang Dianshita)

Drive to the Central Radio and Television Tower, where you'll ride an ear-popping lift to the observation deck, 781 feet (238 meters) high above the city. It is one of the best places to enjoy the beauty of Beijing city
