Itinerary

Pick up from your downtown hotel in Beijing and have half day excursion to the Mutianyue Great Wall 慕田峪 (2 hours) , the most beautiful section of the all 5 sections of the Great Wall in Beijing. The hike takes about 2-3 hours. It has an extemely beautiful natural landscape once you are up on the wall, green, densely wooded. This section of the Great Wall is comparatively smoother than most of other sections.

After lunch, head back to the downtown Beijing to Forbidden City 故宫 ( 2 hours) . The Forbidden City is the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. For almost 500 years, it served as the seat-bed of the Emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

Then visit Tiananmen Square 天安门 (40 minutes), the largest public square of this kind in the world. Located in the heart of Beijing City, it is the site for massive parades and rallies, which is the largest square of this kind in the world. This was the site when in 1949, from a rostrum on Tiananmen (the Gate of Heavenly Peace), Chairman Mao proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

Transferred back to your hotel in Beijing.

 景点介绍-- 故宫
绝大多数第一次来北京的游客，都会把故宫当作必去之处。故宫又称紫禁城，是明、清两代的皇宫，也是古老中国的标志和象征。悠久的历史给这里留下了大规模的珍贵建筑和无数文物，也成为今天游玩故宫的主要看点。
游览古建筑群

故宫是中国乃至世界上保存最完整、规模最大的木质结构古建筑群，被誉为世界五大宫之首。其建筑分为“外朝”与“内廷”两大部分。以乾清门为界，乾清门以南为外朝，以北为内廷。
外朝也称为“前朝”，以太和殿、中和殿、保和殿三大殿为中心，是封建皇帝行使权力、举行盛典的地方。其中太和殿就是影视剧里常说的“金銮殿”，是整个皇宫的绝对中心，不可错过。

内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫后三宫为中心，以及东西两侧的东六宫和西六宫，是封建帝王与后妃居住之所，也就是俗称的“三宫六院”。
