7:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Hotel pick-up  Summer Palace

Your guide will be waiting for you at your hotel lobby at 7:30 am, and a comfortable car will transfer you to the first stop of the day — the world famous imperial garden called the Summer Palace. The imperial building was constructed by the emperor in celebration of his mother’s birthday. It is 273 hectares in size and is composed of three main scenic areas: the palace area, lake area, and mountain area. The best way to enjoy sightseeing at the Summer Palace is by taking a dragon boat on the lake (the boat trip is not available in winter as the lake would be frozen) and, on the way, you will have a chance to view all of the beautiful palaces at the side of the lake.

After the boat trip, you will stroll along the long corridor with your guide; this is regarded as being the longest art gallery in the world and has 14,000 traditional paintings painted on the beams.

11:20 AM – 11:40 AM

Visit the Olympic Sites Including the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube

Afterwards, you will be transferred to the 2008 Beijing Olympic sites, including the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube, for a photo opportunity. Your guide will show you the best angle for getting a panoramic view of the stadium.

 

12:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Lunch Time

Lunch will be at Da Wan Ju restaurant which serves traditional Chinese food.

 

1:30 PM – 2:10 PM

Visit Jingshan Park

In the afternoon you will travel to Jingshan Park which is located behind the Forbidden City. It is a 479-meter high hill and is said to be the best position to get a panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Definitely not to be missed, Jingshan Park is located on the central axis of Beijing and has many historic buildings symmetrically located on both sides. You will see the Drum and Bell Tower to the north while the Forbidden City and Tian’anmen Square can be seen to the south.

 

2:40 PM – 4:10 PM

Visit the Temple of Heaven

In the afternoon, your guide and driver will take you to the Temple of Heaven — this is one sight not to miss when touring Beijing. The Altar, Echo Wall, and spectacular Imperial Vault are the highlights of most tour packages, but we would recommend you spend some time to discover that this was a fasting palace for the emperor. The emperor would fast at the palace before he held a ceremony to pray for a good harvest, and would abstain from meat and wine.

The Hall of Abstinence is actually a small palace. The Emperor of Heaven needed to go to the palace three days in advance, with no drinking, no entertainment, no mourning, and paying no attention to any crimes being committed. All these acts showed his piousness to his god. You will also get a chance to glimpse at the pictures of all the emperors who ever worshiped in the Temple of Heaven, as well as a 600-year-old copper statue of a high ranking official who supervised the fasting process of the emperor.

 

4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Transfer back to hotel

Your guide and driver will transfer you back to the hotel, making a perfect end to your Beijing panoramic tour with Mr orange.
