The Forbidden City

Located at the centre of the ancient city of Beijing, the Forbidden City, also known as Palace Museum, or Gugong in Chinese, is probably Beijing’s top tourist attraction. Its extensive grounds cover 720,000 square metres, and comprise 800 buildings and 9999 rooms.

Tian’an Men Square

Tian’an Men Square is the largest downtown square in the world which covers an area of 44 hectares, big enough to hold one million people. Being located at the centre of Beijing City ,Tian’an Men Square is a popular tourist attraction. Tian’an Men Square is named after its magnificent Tian’an Men Rostrum (Gate of Heavenly Peace), which was the first gate of the Imperial Palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This is where you can visit the Tian’an Men Tower, Monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People and Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. Many also come to witness the national flag raising ceremony.

The Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven (Tiantan) is one of Beijing’s most distinctive landmarks and often appears on the cover of city and tourist guides.  The most impressive building in the park is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The structure’s three-tiered roof and golden dome are certainly among Beijing’s most recognizable symbols.  

The Lama Temple

Yonghegong (‘Palace of Eternal Harmony’) is a Tibetan Buddhist temple belonging to the Yellow Hat sect of Lamaism.  The temple, which was built in 1694, is one of the most well-known Tibetan Buddhist temples in China (outside of Tibet itself). Before being converted to a temple, it served as a palace for the son of Emperor Kangxi until he ascended the throne.

The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Fortunes, the final hall located at the rear of the monastery, houses a 25 metre high upright Buddha statue which is carved from a single piece of Tibetan sandalwood.  Despite its size, this giant Buddha in no way feels imposing, and is instead friendly and welcoming.  It is truly a spectacular sight.

Day 2

Tour to Great Wall (Mu Tian Yu) or Summer Palace                                                                      

In the evening, enjoy dinner at Tian Di Yi Jia Restaurant (Cantonese Food)
