Start your day at Tiananmen Square, one of the largest public squares in the world and an important symbol of modern China.

Continue to the Forbidden City, the former imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Walk through grand courtyards, ceremonial halls, and quiet side chambers while your guide explains the stories behind China’s imperial history.

After lunch, visit the Temple of Heaven, where emperors once prayed for good harvests. The surrounding park is also a wonderful place to see local Beijing life, including tai chi, dancing, music, and chess.

Day 3

Mutianyu Great Wall and Beijing Hutongs

Hotel: Novotel Beijing Peace ★★★★ Meals: Breakfast Lunch

Drive to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, one of the most scenic and well-preserved parts of the wall near Beijing. Compared with some busier sections, Mutianyu offers beautiful mountain views and a more relaxed walking experience.

You may take the cable car or chairlift up and walk along the wall at your own pace. Your guide will help choose a suitable route based on your energy level and interests.

Return to downtown Beijing in the afternoon and explore the old hutong neighborhoods. Walk through narrow lanes, see traditional courtyard homes, and get a closer look at everyday life in old Beijing.

Travel Tip

Wear comfortable walking shoes. The Great Wall has uneven steps and some steep sections.

Day 4

Summer Palace and Departure

Meals: Breakfast Lunch

After breakfast, visit the Summer Palace, a beautiful imperial garden known for Kunming Lake, Longevity Hill, painted corridors, pavilions, and elegant lake views.

Enjoy a relaxed walk with your guide and learn how the Qing emperors used this lakeside retreat as a place for rest, politics, and seasonal escape.

After the visit, your private driver will transfer you to the airport or train station for departure. The itinerary can also be adjusted if your departure time is early.
