Walk Beijing's imperial axis in a single, well-paced day. Start at Tiananmen Square β the scale alone stops you β then enter the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate, where your guide leads you past bronze lions and marble carvings straight to the Dragon Throne.
Exit through the Imperial Garden to Jingshan Park: ten minutes uphill brings you to Wanchun Pavilion and the best view in Beijing β 980 golden roofs laid out in perfect symmetry. After lunch at your own expense (your guide knows the best hutong spots), head south to the Temple of Heaven, where Ming-era engineering holds a 38-meter hall together without a single nail.
Hotel pickup, private vehicle, all tickets included. Your pace, your questions, your day.

Your guide will meet you at your hotel lobby within Beijing's 3rd ring road. For hotels outside this area, a small surcharge may apply.
The hutongs are Beijing's soulβa labyrinth of narrow alleyways where life unfolds in courtyards, markets, and dumpling shops. Walk Nanluoguxiang and the quieter lanes nearby to find the Beijing that tourists miss.
Two days in Beijing is enough to hit the highlights without burning outβif you plan it right. This day-by-day itinerary covers the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the best local meals in between.
