Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang), West Changan Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100006 China

Your private guide and driver will meet you in the lobby of your Beijing hotel at 08.30 and transfer you to Tiananmen Square. After a brief orientation of the square, you will walk through this grand space and marvel at the imposing Government Buildings that surround it.

Tiananmen literally means Gate of Heavenly Peace and after leaving the Square, you arrive at the Tiananmen gate, the entrance to the City Museum (Forbidden City).

Stop At: Forbidden City-The Palace Museum, No.4 Jingshanqian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100009 China

Your visit to the Forbidden City will include all of the most visited buildings and chambers and your guide will escort you slowly through this spectacular site explaining about its history and the different buildings you will see. The visit will take approximately 3 hours.

Reaching the northern end of the Forbidden City, you will transfer to authentic Quanjude restaurant to taste Peking Duck.


Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Beijing Hutong culture tour, Beijing 100004 China

After your lunch, you will continue your trip to Beijing Hutongs which are alleys formed by lines of Siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences. The name Hutong comes from the Mongolian word for ‘well’ because historically people would build their homes close to or around a well. Nowadays Hutong means a lane or alleyway. Hutong is an important element of Beijing culture. Due to Beijing's long history and status as capital for six dynasties, almost every Hutong has its anecdotes, and some are even associated with grand historic events. Different from the royal life and illustrious culture represented by the Forbidden City, the hutongs reflect the culture of grassroots Beijingers. Till now, there still have many residents. When you walk into the Hutongs, you can experience what the street life of old Beijingers look like.

Duration: 1 hour
