Review of 1 Day tour: Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace by Joerg

1 Day tour: Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace

We were a bit lucky with this trip as we booked the group tour but there was only our family and one other very pleasant guest. The Forbidden City is huge and full of tourists. It is very impressive. The Temple of Heaven is beautiful and definitely something special. The Summer Palace is again full of people, which does not take the pleasure out of the trip. The way we were brought to have lunch - in a golf cart - gave us the feeling of being somehow important and was great fun. The trip to the Chinese Medical Centre was very interesting although surprising. The Pearl Factory on the other hand did not enhance the trip at all. It is much easier to visit these main sights of Beijing with a tour like this than being on your own with limited Chinese.
