2. Arrêt 2 · 1 h

   After being picked up from your accommodation in the central area of Beijing in the morning, you will meet your private guide and start your day's journey.
   
   The first stop of your itinerary is the Temple of Heaven — a sacred imperial site where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held annual ceremonies to pray to Heaven for blessings. Accompanied by your guide, you will wander through the courtyard surrounded by ancient, towering trees. Here, you will not only encounter local residents doing morning exercises (including tai chi, sword dancing, and group singing) and are welcome to join in to experience the vitality of daily life; you will also explore the core essence areas of the Temple of Heaven in depth: whether it is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Circular Mound Altar, or the Danbi Bridge connecting the two, each spot embodies the ancient people's reverence for Heaven and Earth as well as their exquisite architectural wisdom.

3. Arrêt 3 · 30 min

   Your tour starts with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests — the most iconic structure of the Temple of Heaven. As you step in with your guide, you’ll be led back to the Ming and Qing dynasties: this grand circular building, with its triple-eaved roof and intricate wooden brackets, once served as the key site where emperors prayed for abundant crops each year. Your guide will help you visualize the solemn imperial ceremonies of the past, making this ancient architectural treasure come alive with history.

4. Arrêt 4 · 20 min

   From the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, you’ll walk along the Danbi Bridge — a long, gently sloping path once reserved exclusively for emperors (symbolizing their “ascent to heaven”). At the end of the bridge lies the Huangqiongyu (Imperial Vault of Heaven), a smaller but equally elegant circular building. Originally used to store the ceremonial tablets of Heaven and imperial ancestors, its delicate blue-tiled roof and refined carvings reflect the solemnity of imperial worship.
   
   Next, head to the Echo Wall surrounding Huangqiongyu — a fascinating architectural wonder! Test its famous acoustic effect: stand at one end of the wall, whisper softly, and someone at the opposite end can hear you clearly. This clever design has amazed visitors for centuries, showcasing ancient Chinese craftsmanship.

5. Arrêt 5 · 20 min

   Finally, you’ll reach the Circular Mound Altar, the most sacred spot for heaven-worshipping ceremonies. Step onto the Heavenly Heart Stone at the altar’s center — here, you can mimic Ming Dynasty emperors and “talk with heaven.” As you stand there, your guide will explain the deep Chinese beliefs tied to this site: the altar’s circular shape and layered design represent the heavens, while every detail (from the number of stone slabs to the placement of railings) follows the principles of “harmony between man and nature,” a core concept in traditional Chinese culture that emphasizes unity with the cosmos.

6. Arrêt 6 · 30 min

   If you’d like to pick up unique Chinese souvenirs, you can head to the Pearl Market — it’s conveniently located right next to the Temple of Heaven, so it won’t take extra time out of your day. Here, your guide will share practical tips to help you negotiate prices, making your souvenir-shopping experience easier and more fun.

7. Arrêt 7 · 30 min

   Your next stop is Tiananmen Square. You will reach there either by subway or private car. Please be aware that the Square may be temporarily closed without prior notice due to official events. In the event of such a closure, our team will promptly adjust the itinerary. We will guide you on a walk around the perimeter of the Square, providing in-depth commentary to ensure you gain comprehensive insights into this iconic landmark.
   
   Your tour guide will share relevant historical context as you view the following significant buildings from the outside: the National Museum of China, the Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, the Monument to the People's Heroes, and the Flagpole.

8. Arrêt 8

   Follow your tour guide to enter the Forbidden City from its South Gate - the Meridian Gate.
   
   Situated at the core of Beijing's central axis, the Forbidden City served as the imperial palace for the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, housing 24 emperors in total. Renowned for its symmetrical palace complex and architectural features of red walls and yellow tiles, it now operates as the Palace Museum, home to over one million cultural relics. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

9. Arrêt 9 · 2 h

   You’ll visit the most iconic highlights of the palace complex. First up is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the grandest hall where emperors held coronations and major state ceremonies, the ultimate symbol of imperial power. Then the Hall of Central Harmony, for emperors to rest and get ready for rituals. Followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the venue for royal banquets and imperial civil exams.
   After exploring the grand outer court, you’ll move on to the inner palace quarters – the private living area of emperors, empresses and imperial concubines, where you can catch a glimpse of the royal family’s daily life behind the red walls.
   Your tour ends in the stunning Imperial Garden, a lush and tranquil oasis in the north of the palace. With ancient trees, elegant rockeries and delicate pavilions, this exquisite garden was the imperial family’s beloved retreat for relaxation, offering a perfect blend of serenity and beauty to cap off your unforgettable Forbidden City experience.

10. Arrêt 10

    From the Imperial Garden: for Option 1, you may opt to explore more areas of the palace independently, or your tour guide will provide directions to your next destination.
    If you select Option 2, you will first have lunch at a local restaurant, followed by a transfer back to your downtown hotel.
    As for Option 3, after lunch, you will head to the Summer Palace—a renowned imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty in China. It is the largest and best-preserved royal garden in the country, celebrated as a "Museum of Royal Gardens." Nestled in the western suburbs of Beijing, it is built around Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill, skillfully blending the delicate elegance of Jiangnan gardens with the grandeur of northern landscapes. Iconic structures like the Long Corridor, the Marble Boat, along with numerous historical relics and artistic treasures. After your tour of the Summer Palace concludes, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
