The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays. For Monday departures, we’ll visit the Summer Palace and the Mutianyu Great Wall instead.

Your expert guide will help you breeze through security checks at Tiananmen Square. Leave your bag in the car and carry only your passport and bottled water to speed up the progress.
Great Wall Toboggan: For safety, it is not available for guests over 60, pregnant women, and children under 3. Children aged 3 to 10 may ride when accompanied by an adult. Don’t worry if the toboggan isn’t for you – the round-trip cable car or chairlift is suitable for everyone.

Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

2h
Admission ticket included

Step into the magnificent Forbidden City (Palace Museum), the world’s ultimate imperial palace. Through its 500 years as the power center from 1420 to 1911 AD, 24 emperors across the Ming and Qing Dynasties successively ruled here, witnessing the rise, peak, and fatal fall of the empire. Navigating its legendary 9,999 rooms can be overwhelming, but our expert-led, fast-track route ensures you smoothly experience the absolute highlights without missing a beat. Note: For Monday departures when the Forbidden City is closed, we’ll pivot to explore the Summer Palace, the emperor’s lakeside retreat.

Meridian Gate (Wu Men)

This was not an execution site as rumored, but the stage for imperial ceremonies, much like the White House lawn. Here, the emperor issued decrees and welcomed home victorious armies.

Admission ticket included

Explore the Outer Court’s three grand halls, where the emperor hosted state ceremonies.

Refuel with a premium buffet lunch, featuring authentic local food and Western favorites, alongside seasonal fruit and soft drinks. To maximize your time and comfort, we’ve included your choice of mountain transport: enjoy a leisurely round-trip cable car ride, or ascend via chairlift and take a thrilling toboggan ride down. Take in the breathtaking views from high above, and enjoy a 2-hour hike along the defensive wall built along the undulating ridges, discovering historical beacon towers and the echoes of the past.
