Description:

Immerse yourself in China's ancient capital as you unlock the history behind the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Stroll through scenic parks and enjoy an authentic Chinese lunch while learning about the fascinating cultural and historical significance of this modern metropolis.

Greet your guide and head to verdant Temple of Heaven Park—one of Beijing's most popular. Watch locals fill the lush lawns to practice tai chi, fan dancing, and water calligraphy. Join in one of these time-honored activities or simply wander the tranquil, tree-lined grounds of the park.

Hop on the subway to Tiananmen Square, where you can take in this historic space and listen as your guide explains why it remains so beloved among Beijing's citizens. Next, pass the Gate of Heavenly Peace into the sprawling Forbidden City—the former home of 24 emperors and the world's largest palace complex. Mao's iconic portrait greets you in this “city” that was off-limits to visitors for more than 500 years. Learn about the legends and history of this once-forbidden imperial landmark as you explore its palaces, courtyards, and ancient buildings.

Grab lunch at a local restaurant before, before walking up to the hilltop Jingshan Park for sweeping views of Beijing from the top of the pagoda. Say goodbye to your guide and take a break in the park, or head back to Beijing to see more sights.
