Private Historical Tour I - Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square & Temple of Heaven
This guided tour of Beijing covers major historical sites including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, with additional visits to a Chinese Medicine Center, Silk Store, and traditional tea experience.
Get to know Beijing and its amazing history by visiting three of the city's most impressive historic attractions: Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest. Beijing is an enormous city of nearly 22 million people, with one of the oldest cultures on earth. To complete your sightseeing you'll have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Chinese Medicine Center and Silk Store.
Tour I begins at Tiananmen Square and the more recent page from China's history book, Tiananmen Square and the cultural revolution of Chairman Mao Zedong. You will tour the grounds and see the outlook of Tiananmen Tower, monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, and Chairman Mao's monument.
Then it is 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. You can enjoy the traditional Chinese tea after the sightseeing.
