Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Temple of Heaven, Tiantan Road, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100050 China
Morning visit Temple of Heaven and See China’s
national animal at the Beijing Zoo.This tranquil park is
often a favorite stop for visitors to Beijing, as it provides
them with an authentic look into local life in this city.
On any given day, it is possible to see enthusiastic
groups of Beijingers practicing Tai Chi, playing
traditional instruments,or singing Peking Opera.
The grounds consist of a sequence of buildings and
altars set in beautiful groves of cypress trees. Learn more
about the fascinating history behind this massive, ci
rcular structure and see local life unfold before
your eyes in this very special visit to the Temple of Heaven.
Enjoy lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, includes one soft drink
or non-alcoholic beverage. or you will take to Forbidden city
The Forbidden City was home to the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1912). Begun in 1406, construction lasted 15 years, and required more than a million workers. It’s the world’s largest surviving palace complex and covers 178 acres, consisting of 980 surviving buildings with 9,999 bays of rooms. Word on the street is that in Imperial times, unauthorized entry by common people would be punishable by death.
The Three Great Halls are definitely the highlight of the tour. Each with a different function, they were used for ceremonial occasions, as the Emperors personal prep areas, official meeting areas, and imperial examinations. All three Great Halls line up in sequence on a marble terrace. Some of the halls and palaces have been restored and repainted, some haven’t. This way, you can still enjoy their authenticity while seeing what they would’ve looked like hundreds of years ago. Be on your toes when trying to get a look inside, it gets a little rowdy.
