Itinerary: This busy full-day tour will take you to Beijing's most famous sites. After picking you up at your hotel, we will head to Tian'anmen Square, the world's largest square. Located in the very center of Beijing, Tian'anmen Square is Beijing's political heart. Here you will see the Great Hall of the People, China National History Museum, Tian'anmen Gate Tower, and Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Our next stop will be theForbidden City, located just north of Tian'anmen Gate Tower. The Forbidden City was the residence of the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, who ruled China from here for 491 years. (1420 to 1911). It is a magnificent maze of palaces and courtyards. No longer forbidden territory, this vast imperial palace gives insight into the lives of those who called it home.
We head next to the Great Wall; stopping for lunch along the way. Depending on your preference, our destination is either the Great Wall at Juyongguan Pass or Badaling Pass. We will get to see the countryside outside of Beijing as we travel to this imposing site. Almost 4000 miles long, and construction beginning over 2000 years ago, the iconic Great Wall is China's best-known tourist attraction. We will spend time walking the top and admiring the views that extend in every direction. On our way back to Beijing, we will stop at Shahe Cloisonne to see skilled artisans still practicing this ancient art form. Our final stop will be Beijing Olympic Park. Here we get the chance to walk the Olympic Park grounds of this modern historic site. The National Aquatic Center (Water Cube) and the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) are quickly becoming the new iconic sites of modern Beijing.
