Forbidden City and Its Vicinity
Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - Begin your Beijing journey at the renowned Tiananmen Square, the largest urban square in the world. It is the vibrant center of modern China, rich with historical importance and national pride. Visitors will be immediately captivated by the square’s magnificence and the profound history it embodies.
Chairman Mao Memorial Hall (Maozhuxi Jiniantang) - Start your visit by exploring the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, located solemnly on the southern side of Tiananmen Square, next to the Monument to the People’s Heroes. This hall was built to honor Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People’s Republic of China. Take a moment to appreciate its architecture and the deep respect it commands.
Great Hall of the People (Renmin Dahuitang) - Then, focus on the west side of the square, where the impressive Great Hall of the People is situated. This architectural wonder is not only the venue for the National People’s Congress but also a symbol of China’s political and cultural life. Even from the outside, its grand scale and the exceptional craftsmanship are evident.
Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - After absorbing the historical and political significance of Tiananmen Square, step into the imperial realm of the Forbidden City Museum. Enter through the majestic Meridian Gate and embark on a journey along the central axis. As you walk through, you’ll encounter the splendid Hall of Supreme Harmony, the graceful Hall of Central Harmony, and the dignified Hall of Preserving Harmony. Be sure to explore the palaces of the inner court, such as the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Don’t miss the Hall of Treasures and the Hall of Clocks (additional tickets required for these). The Forbidden City, once home to 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties, is a living testament to the splendor and grandeur of ancient Chinese imperial architecture.
Jingshan Park (Jingshan Gongyuan) - As the day ends, exit the Forbidden City through the Shenwu Gate. Cross the road to Jingshan Park and climb the hill to reach a vantage point offering a stunning panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Watching the sun set over the red-walled palaces and golden-tiled roofs is an unforgettable experience.
Dashilan - After enjoying the sunset, return to Dashilan. This lively area is a paradise for food enthusiasts and shoppers. Enjoy a delightful dinner at a local restaurant, savoring Beijing’s flavors. Afterwards, explore the various shops to find unique souvenirs and local specialties, completing a perfect first day in Beijing.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Mutianyu Great Wall - Discover the Mutianyu Great Wall, which extends 5.4 kilometers and features 20 accessible watchtowers, with three classic routes:
West Route (Round-trip Cable Car): Take the cable car directly to the 14th watchtower, walk to the 20th watchtower (where you can climb the “Brave Man’s Slope”, and the 20th watchtower is the highest point), and then take the cable car back to the 14th watchtower. The section from the 14th to the 19th watchtowers is relatively flat, while the section from the 19th to the 20th watchtower is steeper. The Mutianyu Great Wall is less crowded than Badaling, offering a more peaceful and enjoyable hiking experience. Its well-preserved walls and watchtowers provide insight into China’s ancient defensive system.
