1Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)
Your friendly guide will meet you at your Beijing hotel in the morning. From April 1 to October 31 (peak season), we will enjoy a hassle-free drive-by view of Tiananmen Square to avoid long security lines that often take 1–3 hours to enter. You’ll still get great views of all landmarks: the Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, Monument to the People’s Heroes, Tiananmen Rostrum, Great Hall of the People, and National Museum of China. We provide free reservation codes for the evening session at Tiananmen Square. Simply ask your guide for the code to visit independently after the tour. From November 1 to March 31 (off-peak season), we will enter Tiananmen Square for a walking tour.

Constructed between 1406 and 1420, the palace has been damaged, looted, rebuilt and restored numerous times. As a result, most of the existing architecture dates from the 18th century onward.
