Day 1

Upon your arrival at Beijing Capital International Airport you will be escorted to the 4 -star Beijing International Hotel which is only 1.5 km away from the Tiananmen Square - the central point of the city. We suggest that after a short rest you explore that part of the city by walking from the hotel to the square.

Today we take you to the world's largest square, the Tiananmen Square, before bringing to the Forbidden City, center of the Chinese world for nearly 500 years as well as home to the Ming and Qing emperors and their concubines and eunuchs. After a great Chinese lunch we visit the Temple of Heaven, the best of the Ming architecture and the sacred stage for the annual rites performed by the emperors to honor Heaven and to ensure the well-being of the nation.
