The majestic Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms! Which are the most essential and interesting parts? The veteran itinerary designer carefully selects the top 10 palaces for you, including major ones on the traditional central axis, and some special chambers on the east and west wings. Note: Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, this tour designer carefully choose the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square & the Forbidden City if your travel date happens to meet Monday. Summer Palace is the largest and best preserved royal garden in the world. It is a fantastic resort for travelers to admire the peaceful landscapes and magnificent architecture. - Mutianyu Great Wall - After 1.5 hours driving, you will arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall, which is the best preserved and most popular section among all in Beijing. The itinerary designer smartly choose afternoon to visit the Wall to avoid the crowds, and you’ll have at least 2.5 hours to visit the wall and take some nice photos. - Back Lakes (Hou Hai) - Finally, your tour guide will accompany you to the Houhai Lake Area and Yandaixiejie Hutong, which is a typical representative of old Beijing. Home to various specialty bars, cafes and restaurants, it is an ideal place to discover the unique charms of the old alleyways, enjoy the amazing scenery of the Houhai Lake, try the authentic local food and snacks, or just spend time there to experience the vibrant nightlife of Beijing.
