In the early morning (around 5:30 am), our driver in Shanghai will meet you in your hotel and transfer you to the airport for a flight to Beijing.

After a 2-hour flight, you will land at Beijing airport. Your guide in Beijing will greet you at the terminal exit by holding a board with your name. Then get in the private car and start your Beijing tour!

Firstly, we will take a walk on the Tian'anmen Square, the heart and symbol of Beijing and the largest city square in the world. The spacious square has been used for many public celebrations, ceremonies, and demonstrations for over a hundred years.

Then you will pay a visit to the Forbidden City (closed every Monday), one of the largest and most completely preserved palaces complexly built with wood. It functioned as the imperial palace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1912). There were 24 emperors of the two dynasties who lived in the Forbidden City.

After lunch (at your own expense), we will drive to the Summer Palace, a vast imperial garden. This is a place suitable for visits in all seasons. In spring, various flowers bloom; in summer, the breeze brushes through the lotus ponds; in autumn, the garden is adorned with red leaves; and in winter, it is covered in pure white snow. Here, you can explore elaborately designed pavilions, stroll through serene gardens, and appreciate the tranquility of Kunming Lake.

After that, you will be guided to walk through the traditional Hutong neighborhoods. These narrow alleyways lined with traditional courtyard houses offer a glimpse into the city's rich cultural heritage.

After the tour, you will be escorted to Beijing airport and take the late evening flight back to Shanghai. (please book a flight departing after 8:30 pm)

You will be met by your driver in Shanghai and transferred back to the hotel. Service ends here.
