Program Description
Discover Beijing's most iconic landmarks on a full-day tour that takes you through the history of imperial China. Visit three of the capital's most famous attractions and explore the places that have shaped the country's political, cultural and spiritual heritage for centuries.
Your day begins at Tiananmen Square, one of the largest public squares in the world and the symbolic heart of modern China. Learn about its historical significance and its important role in the nation's past and present.
Next, step inside the magnificent Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former Imperial Palace of China. For nearly five centuries, this vast palace complex served as the residence of 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the political and ceremonial centre of the Chinese Empire. As you explore its grand courtyards and magnificent ceremonial halls, you will discover the fascinating history of China's imperial dynasties and admire one of the world's largest palace complexes.
During your visit, you will also explore the Palace Museum, home to an outstanding collection of imperial treasures, antiques and artworks from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After enjoying lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, continue to the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing's most important religious monuments. Built in the 15th century, this remarkable temple complex was where Chinese emperors prayed for good harvests and the prosperity of the empire. Its elegant architecture symbolises the harmony between heaven and earth and the emperor's unique role as the intermediary between the two.
