After touring the Forbidden City, we will make a short trip to Jingshan Park, where you will have a panoramic view of the entire Forbidden City.

In the afternoon, we will drive to the Summer Palace, which is the largest existing and the best-preserved royal garden in China. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value.

The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is one of the "longest Great Walls in China" and impresses visitors with its rich vegetation and magnificent natural scenery. 

You will take an easy cable car up to the Great Wall. Next you will climb up to the city tower overlooking the majestic Great Wall, which will surely make your stay unforgettable. After the Great Wall tour, we will take the cable car down the mountain.

(Note: If you are physically fit, you can also choose to hike up and down the mountain to feel the sense of accomplishment of climbing to the top).

Nowadays, it has become a lively place where locals perform traditional activities such as Tai Chi, dancing, kite flying and calligraphy. Stroll among the halls of the Temple of Heaven and feel the solemnity and mystery of ancient royalty.

Next, we will visit the Hutongs and take a rickshaw ride through Beijing's hutongs. These alleys, made up of courtyards, epitomize life in old Beijing. During lunch, you will learn to make and eat dumplings in the hutongs for an in-depth experience of the old Beijing way of life.

Q & A

Are airport or train station transfers included on arrival and departure?
Transfers can be arranged for a small additional fee. Just provide your flight or train details, and our driver will meet you at the airport or station. If you prefer to arrange your own transport, the cost can be reimbursed.
Day 1 covers four sites. Is it too rushed?
It’s a full day, but the private car cuts travel time significantly. Your guide paces the walk to suit you, and Jingshan Park is a quick photo stop. If you ever feel tired, we can shorten or adjust the plan on the spot.
The dumpling-making lunch on Day 3 sounds great. Can dietary needs be accommodated?
Yes, with advance notice we can prepare vegetarian, halal, or other fillings. Please tell us when booking, and we’ll make sure the hutong hosts are ready for you.
Are the recommended evening activities included in the price?
They’re optional experiences, not included in the base price. Your guide can help you book Peking opera, kung fu shows, or a Quanjude roast duck dinner, and you pay directly. We can also pre-arrange everything if you prefer.
What’s the weather like in Beijing? What should we pack?
Beijing has four distinct seasons—hot summer, cold winter, mild spring and autumn. Comfortable walking shoes are essential year-round. We’ll send a tailored packing list and weather forecast one week before your trip.
Do we need to pre-book Forbidden City tickets ourselves?
No, we handle everything. The Forbidden City requires real-name reservations, so we need your passport details at least a week ahead. Once booked, your guide will have the tickets ready—you just walk in.
Are there any forced shopping stops or hidden costs?
Never. This is a pure sightseeing private tour. The only extras are the clearly mentioned optional evening shows and dinners. No shopping stops, no hidden fees—your experience is our priority.

For the Temple of Heaven, what’s the best spot to watch locals do Tai Chi?
Is there a specific time they gather?

The main plaza near the "Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests" is where most Tai Chi groups meet, usually from 7-9 AM (perfect for our tour timing). They’re happy to let you watch or join in!

Yes! The Olympic Park’s central square has a perfect viewpoint where both the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube are visible together—your guide will make sure to stop there for group photos.
