Beijing is an enormous city of nearly 15 million people, with one of the oldest cultures on Earth. So it's no wonder Gray Line has divided the city's vast history into two tours. Tour I begins at Tian'anmen Square and the more recent page from China's history book, Tian'anmen Square and the cultural revolution of Chairman Mao Zedong. You will tour the grounds and see Tian'anmen Tower, monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, and Mao's monument.
Then it's on to the legendary Forbidden City, now known as the Imperial Palace Museum. The history of every dynasty is represented here throughout four palatial halls. Many of our tours see the highlights here, but this gives you the most in-depth visit.
After a substantial lunch, your final destination is the aptly named Temple Of Heaven, dating from the 15th century. Built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Temple Of Heaven was the center of prayer, traditional ceremonies and sacrificial rites. It's a busy day, but will also include a visit to the Jiangan Silk Factory for a shopping experience not to be missed.
If you wish to take the second part of this tour, it will be held on the following day for your convenience.
Tour includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, air-conditioned coach, transportation tax, parking fees, English-speaking guide, Lunch, and all admission tickets.
