About this activity
Following a morning pickup from your accommodation in Beijing city center at 9:00am, meet your private guide and hop aboard your air-conditioned vehicle.

Your exploration begins with a visit to the stunning Temple of Heaven visited by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven. Watching local people doing morning exercises and you are welcome to join!

The Temple of Heaven is one of several worship sites in the capital where the emperors offered sacrifices. Its location in the city derives from the notion that yang,the mal vital principle,is located n the south;and as Heaven is yang,it should be worshipped in the southern suburbs of the capital. The Temple of Heaven was constructed between 1406 and 1420 during the reign of Ming Emperor YongLe (reign: 1403-1424), who also oversaw the creation of the Forbidden City during the same period.

Enjoy your delicious lunch at an authentic restaurant.

Exploring one of the world’s largest public areas—Tian'anmen Square, home to the National Museum of China, the mausoleum of Mao Zedong and the great Monument to the Peoples’ Heroes. Pass through the south gate to the magnificent Forbidden City, a 250-acre complex of courtyards, palaces, pavilions and gardens, which served as the imperial palace for emperors and their households for more than 500 years

The Forbidden City was the imperial palace from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located in the middle of Beijing,, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.

After seven hours exploring tour, you will be taken back to your accommodation in Beijing.

Cynthia was amazing! Recommended we go see Chairman Mao's body lying in state at Tiananmen Square while watching our bags, as the line was unusually short; highlight of the day for my husband! She did a great job of hitting the highlights but allowing us extra time when we wanted to. Recommended!
