The tour begins with a hotel pickup within Beijing’s 4th Ring Circle Highway, then travels by air-conditioned coach to Tiananmen Square. Visitors spend about half an hour at this large public square, which covers over 40 hectares and serves as the main entrance to the Forbidden City. Afterward, the group moves on to the Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, where they explore for approximately two hours. This former imperial palace, built in 1406, spans more than 180 acres and houses many historical halls and collections of Chinese antiques and treasures. Following lunch featuring Chinese-style dishes, the tour continues to the Temple of Heaven. This temple complex, constructed in 1420, was the site where emperors worshipped for good harvests. Guests spend around one hour viewing the religious architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The tour lasts about seven hours in total and includes admission fees, a professional English-speaking guide, lunch, and round-trip transportation from the hotel if it is located within the 4th Ring Circle Highway. If the hotel is outside this area, participants must meet at the Prime Hotel at 7:30 AM or arrange an additional transfer with the operator. If Forbidden City tickets are unavailable within three days of booking, Jingshan Park is visited instead.
