TOUR B1: Beijing Daily Bus Day Tour
- Glory of Imperial Beijing
Local
Tours to Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace
By
the mid-1700s, the Imperial Chinese Empire was the most advanced
nation on Earth. Its culture, cuisine, and architecture were
unmatched anywhere in the world. On this tour, you will see how
the Chinese gained that glowing reputation. This tour highlights
the pinnacle of Chinese civilization, and the sights you will
see today are renowned for their magnificence. Today you will
see the absolute best Beijing has to offer. You will be awed by
the colossal setting of the
Forbidden City (the home of the Chinese emperor for over 400
years), the holiness of the
Temple of Heaven (where the emperor performed his sacred
rites for heaven worship), and the grace and beauty of the
Summer
Palace (the largest preserved classical Chinese garden).
This tour also involves an imperial-style lunch at the Xinyigong
Restaurant.

or in the airport area of Shunyi, you may be asked
to take subway or taxi in order to join us in downtown Beijing. We can
pick you up separately with additional 100 yuan for a private
transfer. This is to make
sure our bus can leave Beijing before the stifling morning rush hours. Thank
