CN-PEKBLT12 – Juyongguan Great Wall, Tian’anmen Square and Forbidden City (Private)

Your day begins with a hotel pickup between 8:00 AM by your local English-speaking tour guide and private driver.

First, journey to the historic Juyongguan Great Wall—one of the most renowned passes of the Great Wall, celebrated for its deep-rooted military history, elegant mountain scenery, and complete defensive architecture. As a key fortress in the Ming Dynasty’s northern defense system, Juyongguan truly embodies the essence of the Great Wall. Hike along its ancient ramparts for a heroic, once-in-a-lifetime experience—with sweeping views of forested peaks and centuries of history beneath your feet.

Next, visit a traditional Jade Carving Factory to witness master artisans shape China’s sacred “stone of heaven.” Learn how jade has symbolized purity, power, and harmony in Chinese culture for over 7,000 years.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious authentic Chinese lunch at a beautiful local restaurant.

In the afternoon, head to Tiananmen Square, one of the top ten largest city squares in the world and a site of profound historical importance. Your guide will explain its major landmarks—including the Monument to the People’s Heroes, the National Museum of China, and the Great Hall of the People—from a respectful viewing distance.

From there, step into the magnificent Forbidden City, the imperial palace for 24 emperors across the Ming and Qing dynasties. Designed as the heart of ancient Beijing, it lies within the Imperial City, which itself is enclosed by the Inner City, with the Outer City to the south—a masterpiece of cosmic planning and symbolic power.

At the end of this unforgettable journey through China’s military grandeur, artistic heritage, and imperial legacy, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
