- Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - At 8:00 am, meet the private guide at the hotel for a brief drive to Tiananmen Square, a historic urban area that has been central to Chinese history for centuries. Since Chairman Mao declared the establishment of the People’s Republic of China from the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tiananmen Tower) on October 1, 1949, it has remained a symbolic heart of the nation.
- Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - From Tiananmen Square, proceed on foot to the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While most tours rush through the central axis, the guide will lead a unique and less crowded path. Walk along the newly accessible 26-foot (8-meter) wall for a panoramic view of the entire complex, visit the Watchtower and the East Gate, and explore the Hall of Clocks and Watches and the Treasure Gallery, which houses exquisite artifacts crafted from gold, jewels, and jade.
- Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) - After enjoying a famous Peking Roast Duck lunch with other dishes at a local restaurant, take a 40-minute canopy boat ride along the Imperial Waterway to the Summer Palace. This site, with its beautifully landscaped gardens and pavilions, was established in 1750 as a summer retreat for China’s rulers.

Excellent Tour and Guide - This tour is great for those that don't have a lot of time in Beijing. This tour takes you to all the main sites and you don't have to wait in line. We were able to see the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. The Peking Duck lunch was delicious as well. Shen Shen our tour guide spoke very good English and gave us a lot of history about all of the sites. She was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.
