Beijing

Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - In the morning, the tour visits Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world, known for its historical significance. The Chairman Mao Memorial Museum and China Congress Building are located here. Tiananmen Square was once part of the Forbidden City during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and became a square in 1949 after the revolution.

Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - Entering through the Tiananmen Gate, guests will explore the Forbidden City, constructed 600 years ago at the start of the Ming Dynasty. It served as the palace for the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with over 8,400 rooms, making it the largest palace in the world. The front area features three Grand Halls for the emperor’s work, while the back area houses the residential quarters for the emperor and concubines. The tour follows the axis line from the south gate to the north gate. Lunch will be at a local restaurant known for traditional Beijing hot pot.

Please note that the Forbidden City is closed every Monday. On those days, the tour will visit the Summer Palace or Lama Temple instead.

Temple of Heaven - After lunch, the tour proceeds to another UNESCO World Heritage site, the Temple of Heaven. This site was where ancient Chinese emperors prayed for a good harvest.
