In the morning, your guide and driver will greet you in your hotel lobby, and escort you on a day of seamless, worry-free transfers. Let’s begin at Tiananmen Square, the heart of Beijing’s historical axis and modern power center. Cross Chang’an Avenue to enter the square, admiring the monumental buildings that showcase China’s highest architectural standards.

Step into the magnificent Forbidden City (Palace Museum), the world’s ultimate imperial palace. Through its 500 years as the power center from 1420 to 1911 AD, 24 emperors across the Ming and Qing Dynasties successively ruled here, witnessing the rise, peak, and fatal fall of the empire. Navigating its legendary 9,999 rooms can be overwhelming, but our expert-led, fast-track route ensures you smoothly experience the absolute highlights without missing a beat.

Note: For Monday departures when the Forbidden City is closed, we’ll pivot to explore the Summer Palace, the emperor’s lakeside retreat.

This was not an execution site as rumored, but the stage for imperial ceremonies, much like the White House lawn. Here, the emperor issued decrees and welcomed home victorious armies.

Explore the Outer Court’s three grand halls, where the emperor hosted state ceremonies.
