Tour Itinerary

Pick you up from your hotel, and then visit Tian'anmen Square, which is located in the center of the city. It was once the largest city square in the world. Its name literally means “Gate of Heavenly Peace”. The square witnessed the foundation of the People’s Republic of China and several important events in Chinese history.

After that, we will drive you to Yonghegong Lama Temple, which was a residence for Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It was built in the 33rd year of Kangxi’s reign (1694) and was changed into a Emperor’s palace in the 3rd year of Yongzheng’s reign (1725). In the 9th year of Qianlong’s reign (1744), it became a temple of the Lama Buddhist sect.

After lunch, you will visit Confucius Temple, built in 1302, and officials used it to pay their respects to Confucius until 1911. Then visit Pandas' House in Beijing Zoo, where you will see the lovely giant pandas.

After the tour, we will take you back to your hotel.

Note: Passport is required when tourists visit Tian'anmen Square. Make sure that you take your passport with you.
