Beijing has a profound historical heritage. It is the ancient capital of six dynasties and has seven world cultural heritage sites, including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace. These buildings embody the wisdom of the Chinese nation and show the unique charm of ancient Chinese architecture. Here, you can stroll through the Forbidden City to feel the majesty and luxury of the royal family; climb the Great Wall to appreciate the grandeur of ancient military defense projects; visit the Summer Palace to appreciate the exquisite garden art.
Beijing's food culture is rich and colorful, integrating the essence of Manchu and Han food culture and has unique regional characteristics. Beijing roast duck is a representative of Beijing cuisine, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
Visit Tiananmen Square, the world's largest city square, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the National Museum, and the Great Hall of the People
While most tour groups only visit the six halls on the central axis, your private guide will take you to the hidden halls for a deeper understanding of the history and dodge the crowds.
It is the largest green park within the Second Ring Road of Beijing and the best-preserved site where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties offered sacrifices to heaven and prayed for good harvests.
Walk on a Top-Ranked Part of the Great Wall. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is ranked top among all parts of the Great Wall on TripAdvisor. Walk leisurely through the watchtowers, enjoying a superb view of the Mutianyu Great wall snaking across the mountains.
When visiting the Great Wall, we usually make a short stop at the Olympic Park, where you can check in at the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, the venues for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Summer Palace is the best-preserved royal garden in Beijing. Here you can experience the beauty of Jiangnan gardens. Kunming Lake and Wanshou Hill are the two main locations. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense and overlook Beijing city.
The old Beijing Hutong is one of the characteristics of the ancient capital Beijing, with a profound historical and cultural heritage. Hutong originated in the Yuan Dynasty and has developed through the Ming and Qing Dynasties to form the current criss-crossing pattern. The layout of the Hutong is like a chessboard. They are interdependent with the quadrangle, forming the unique living style of old Beijing. In the Hutong, the relationship between neighbors is very harmonious. Residents often get together to chat, play chess, and bask in the sun, full of a strong atmosphere of life. Hutong not only carries the historical memory of Beijing, but also shows the simple, enthusiastic and harmonious lifestyle of the old Beijingers. Today, although the modernization process of the city has caused some Hutongs to gradually disappear, the preserved Hutongs still attract people from all over the world to visit and experience, becoming an indispensable cultural treasure of the city of Beijing.
