Day 1: Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, Temple of Heaven and Hutongs
Your private guide and driver will be waiting for you in the lobby in the morning. You will visit the famous iconic sights: Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City (named Imperial Palace or Palace Museum). Our tour guide is professional local experts, with many years of experience.
After a nice lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, you will visit the old Beijing hutongs. Hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences. Many neighburhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.
Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing hutongs has dropped dramatically as they are demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history.
The Temple of Heaven,built in 1420 with a total area of 667acres, this is the largest building for religious worship in China, which was originally used by the Ming and Qing emperors to pay homage to Heaven and to pray for a year of rich harvest. Nice park to while away an hour or two while listening to singing and music, and watching the locals going about their lives. A popular place particularly for Beijing's elderly population.
You will be transferred back to your Beijing city hotel. Please note hotel accommodation is not included in this tour.
Day 2: Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace
You will be picked up at the hotel in the early morning and we will drive to the Mutianyu Great Wall directly. It takes 1.5 hours to the Wall from downtown Beijing. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is a little further from Beijing than the most popular seion at Badaling, but it doesn't get as crowded. This section of the Wall is fully restored, there are hand rails to help you up on the very steep parts and the views are spectacular.
After a nice lunch at a local farmer`s restaurant,visit the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace was once a summer retreat for emperors, this 716-acre park is still a retreat for the crowd-weary tourist, who can relax here or stroll around ancient pavilions, mansions, temples, bridges and huge lake.Much-loved summer retreat of the Imperial families, the lovely landscaped gardens, halls, pavilions and corridors are set around the lake and rivers in natural harmony.
After a nice afternoon at Summer Palace, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
