Private Beijing Heritage Tour in 5 Days

Meet the representative at Beijing Airport and travel by private vehicle to Xinhai Jinjiang Hotel or the arranged four-star property. After check-in, the rest of the day is free to recover from the flight, settle into the hotel or take an independent walk nearby.

Start at Tiananmen Square and continue into the Forbidden City, the early-fifteenth-century palace used by Ming and Qing emperors. Walk through ceremonial gates, courtyards and throne halls before pausing for a restaurant lunch featuring Peking duck. In the afternoon, explore the UNESCO-listed Temple of Heaven. Its ritual buildings and carefully ordered spaces reflect the imperial ceremonies once performed here for a good harvest.

Travel beyond Beijing to a scenic section of the Great Wall in the mountains. Follow the battlements across the ridge and pause for broad views over the surrounding landscape. After lunch at a local restaurant, return towards the city to visit the UNESCO-listed Summer Palace. Pavilions, bridges and covered galleries form a classical garden composition around Kunming Lake, offering a calmer finish to the day.

Visit Yonghegong, an active Tibetan Buddhist temple complex, then walk through Beijing's traditional hutong lanes and observe the rhythm of the courtyard neighbourhoods. A rickshaw ride can be added if desired. Continue with a tea ceremony introducing several varieties and brewing methods. Finish in Beihai Park, with its scenic lake and White Dagoba, followed by free time for shopping or an independent walk. Onward transfer arrangements follow your travel plan.

Check out after breakfast and meet the driver for the private transfer to Beijing Airport. The five-day programme concludes at the terminal in good time before your onward flight.
