About this trip

A compact first visit to Beijing begins with time to settle in before two full days of guided sightseeing. Enter the Forbidden City, the early-fifteenth-century palace of Ming and Qing emperors, then continue to the UNESCO-listed Temple of Heaven and a welcome dinner featuring Peking duck. The next day moves from the composed gardens of the Summer Palace—Kunming Lake, halls, pavilions and covered walks—to a scenic mountain section of the Great Wall outside the city. Follow the fortifications across the ridges and pause for expansive views before returning to Beijing. Airport transfers frame the programme, while the arrival afternoon remains free for rest or an independently arranged city outing.

Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Peking Duck

Move along its ceremonial axis through gates, courtyards and throne halls, then continue to the UNESCO-listed Temple of Heaven.
