Classic Beijing Sightseeing Tour

See the legendary Forbidden City, explore Tiananmen Square and walk through the Summer Palace


Overview
Beijing is a reflection of China itself, steeped in history from the very ancient to the modern. This comprehensive tour takes you to the major attractions of Beijing, including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The tour starts from the impressive Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world and synonymous with several key events in Chinese history.

Explore the legendary Forbidden City, the largest and most complete imperial palace and ancient building complex in China, and the world. It was the seat of power of 24 Chinese emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is now known as the Imperial Palace Museum and has the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

The Temple of Heaven is China's largest temple and altar complex, an extraordinary example of religious architecture dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Summer Palace is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest and best-preserved imperial garden in China. One of Beijing's finest parks surrounds the palace, which also has the world's longest art gallery.

This tour is being operated by our key partner, Gray Line Beijing,which is one of the world's leaders in sightseeing tours and ground transportation.
