Your tour begins with pickup from your Beijing hotel at a 8:00am. Traveling by private vehicle and start the first attraction: Tian'anmen Square,a large city-center square in the world, home to the Monument to the People's Heroes and the National Museum of China.  It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several key events in Chinese history.

Wander the square on foot with your guide, then passing through the south gate to the Forbidden City, bypass the long lines and whisk directly inside with your pre-booked entrance ticket. Begin your exploration of the world's largest imperial Palace, where the Ming and Qing Emperors resided for more than 500 years. It is the largest and best-preserved Imperial Palace in the world.  Please Note: all traveler names and passport number required. You MUST provide your above info upon booking, in case the tickets are sold out. You MUST have your passport with you for attending this tour.

Afterwards, driving about 1.5 hours to have lunch in a nice non-tourist restaurant near the Great Wall. Then start the 2-3 hours hiking at Huanghuacheng Water Wall, the only section of China’s Great Wall that runs alongside, and is partially submerged in a lake. Usually, Badaling, Mutianyu and Simatai come to mind when one thinks of the Great Wall. These sections have become hot tourist spots after being renovated. But Huanghuacheng is largely unrestored since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), this segment is one of prettiest yet least crowded near Beijing, making it great for hiking. Your tour ends with hotel drop-off.
