Discover the best of Beijing during this guided tour to top highlights. See landmarks like the Temple of Heaven, ride a rickshaw through Hutong Alleys, and explore the beautiful gardens of the Summer Palace.

Highlights
- ✓Visit top landmarks of Beijing—Temple of Heaven, Hutong and the Summer Palace
- ✓No shopping stops or tea ceremony—spend more time sightseeing
- ✓Admission tickets to all attractions are included
- ✓A small group ensures a more personal experience
What you'll see & do
- ✓Meet your guide in your hotel lobby for a seamless transfer to the Temple of Heaven, a sacred sanctuary where Ming and Qing emperors (1368-1911 AD) once prayed for prosperous harvests. Walk in the footsteps of royalty to marvel at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and experience the fascinating acoustics of the Circular Mound Altar. Explore the lesser-known Imperial Vault of Heaven housing the sacred tablets, the fasting quarters at Palace of Abstinence, and the Divine Kitchen where sacrificial offerings were prepared. Also, catch a glimpse of vibrant local life as you wander through the surrounding park, where Beijingers gather to exercise, dance, and socialize. Feel free to join in! Note: For Monday departures when the main sights of the Temple of Heaven are closed, we’ll explore the Beihai Park instead.
- ✓Take in the grandeur of this iconic circular palace, the main hall for the Heaven worship ceremonies. As you look up at its triple-layered roof of blue glazed tiles and unique domed ceiling, you’ll truly appreciate the genius of classical Chinese architecture.
- ✓Stand on this open-air marble terrace where emperors offered sacrifices to Heaven on the Winter Solstice.
- ✓Let’s continue our journey into the historic Hutong alleys. Board a rickshaw for a nostalgic ride through a maze of narrow, willow-shaded lanes. Sit back and absorb the lively local chatter as your driver weaves deep into the neighborhood, leading to the ultimate highlight: an exclusive family visit inside a traditional quadrangle courtyard. You'll experience authentic Beijing hospitality and gain a rare, intimate glimpse into the locals’ real daily life and cultural heritage preserved for centuries.
- ✓Next, let’s visit the ancient Lama Temple, a former imperial palace transformed into Beijing’s grandest lamasery. You'll have the chance to experience a stunning blend of Han Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan architectural styles while marveling at priceless cultural treasures, including intricate silk thangkas and the Guinness World Record-holding sandalwood Buddha.
- ✓We save the crowning jewel for last: the magnificent royal garden Summer Palace. Admire the vast, shimmering Kunming Lake mirroring Longevity Hill and its timeless pavilions. Stroll along the willow-fringed pathways and beneath the endlessly Long Corridor, and you can easily imagine yourself walking in the footsteps of emperors and empresses. Once you've soaked in this tranquility, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel.
