- Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - Option 1: Downtown Sightseeing by private vehicle
Begin your journey with a visit to Tian’anmen Square—the world-renowned heart of the city, where grand architecture and rich history meet. Then, enter the Forbidden City, the magnificent imperial palace that housed emperors for centuries. Explore its maze of opulent courtyards, ornate halls, and treasure-filled museums, where every corner tells tales of ancient dynasties and royal splendor. Note: The Forbidden City is closed every Monday (except during the peak summer months of July and August).

Jingshan Park (Jingshan Gongyuan) - Why not extend your adventure with a visit to Jingshan Park? From its gentle hills, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic bird’s-eye view of the Forbidden City—its golden-tiled roofs stretching endlessly beneath you. As you take in this iconic vista, your guide will share fascinating tales of Beijing’s historic central axis, the invisible backbone that connects the city’s most revered landmarks, from the Temple of Heaven in the south to the Drum Tower in the north.
Beyond the Forbidden City’s grand walls, this stop adds a whole new dimension to your journey, allowing you to appreciate the scale and symmetry of ancient Beijing’s urban design. - Beihai Park (Beihai Gongyuan) - Another gem not to be missed is Beihai Park, a centuries-old imperial garden with a history dating back over 1,000 years to the Liao Dynasty. Originally built as an imperial retreat for emperors to relax and enjoy the scenery, it later became a public park where visitors can soak up the tranquility of ancient Chinese garden design. Here, you’ll see the iconic White Dagoba (a sacred Buddhist structure) standing proudly on Jade Flower Island, wander along the winding corridors with intricate paintings, and take in the serene lake views with traditional pavilions dotting the shore. You’ll also learn about the park’s role in imperial life and the integration of Buddhist culture into imperial gardens.
- Lama Temple (Yonghegong) - Alternatively, you can choose to visit Yonghe Temple, also known as the “Lama Temple”—one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist temples in Beijing. With a history spanning over 300 years, it was initially built as a mansion for Prince Yong (later Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty) before being converted into a temple. Inside, you’ll marvel at the 18-meter-tall Maitreya Buddha statue carved from a single piece of sandalwood (a national treasure), admire the exquisite Buddhist murals and sculptures, and explore the five grand halls dedicated to different Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Your guide will share stories about the temple’s transformation from a royal residence to a religious site, the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing imperial court, and the cultural significance of its sacred artifacts.
- Shicha Lake Park - Perhaps head to the Hutong area and take a rickshaw to enjoy a bit of the old Beijing that remains in the street food, traditional alleys, and culture.
- The Great Wall at Badaling - Our second tour package offers a Great Wall adventure, where you can choose from both well-developed and partially developed sections within Beijing. Badaling Great Wall is the most famous and well-preserved section, ideal for first-time visitors with convenient facilities; Juyongguan Great Wall is renowned for its magnificent mountain scenery and well-structured pass towers, a key military stronghold in ancient times; Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall stands out with its unique combination of Great Wall, lakes, and mountains, offering a picturesque view of water surrounding the wall; the partially developed sections (such as some unrenovated stretches near Huanghuacheng) provide a more primitive and immersive experience for adventurous travelers. You can fully discuss with your guide to select the most suitable Great Wall section based on your preferences.
