Your
guide and driver will pick you up from
the lobby of your hotel at 09:00 this morning. After
a brief introduction to this private Beijing 2-day tour package, we will go to
visit the
Tiananmen Square, the largest city square in the world. Constructed more than 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty (1368
– 1644), Tiananmen Square has witnessed the great development of the country. It
is also the venue for national ceremonies, including the grand military parade.
When you walk to the northern end of the square and cross Chang'an Avenue, you will come to the
Forbidden City. Known as the largest imperial palace complex in the world, the Forbidden City has more than 70
palaces of different sizes and over 9,000 rooms, where to store a large collection of historical and
cultural relics. The typical royal buildings of high red walls capped with golden roofs will take you back to the prosperous Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 - 1911). Then, this Beijing 2 days itinerary will be extended to the Jingshan Park. As you ascend to the top of the hill in the park, you will get a panoramic view of the Forbidden City from Wanchun Pavilion.
In
the afternoon, we take a visit to the
Temple of Heaven, where the emperors worshiped the God of Heaven for good harvests in ancient times. As
a kind of cultural behavior to pray for blessings, worshipping the Heaven had
more than 5,000 years’ history and was once an important part of the life of
ancient Chinese predecessors. The ceremony had been abolished in the Republic
of China and the Temple of Heaven has been changed into a large forest park
now. More than a historical site, it is also a good place for locals to exercises
and relax. Finally, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
