  • We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. If any itineraries don't mention No Shopping Stops, they MUST have shopping stops as factory of terracotta warriors or the tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words, in their spamming itineraries, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with the operators about the shopping stops. By joining a shopping tour, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and might be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called tea ceremony or the factory of terracotta warriors is the tourist trap. You have to spend an hour or more for travel agents to get the commission. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops.

Activity itinerary

Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)
  • 1h
You will find your guide at the Gate of Lao She Teahouse (Qianmen Branch), easy to locate on map. The meeting time is 09:30am, please arrive 5 minutes earlier. The maximum waiting time is 10 minutes. Follow your guide to take a morning walk around Tiananmen Square, and you can shoot distant view photos of the brilliant landmark buildings such as the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao.
Forbidden City-The Palace Museum
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Walk through the Gate of Heavenly Peace with the great Chairman Mao's portrait on it; you come to this morning's highlight - the 600-year-old Forbidden City - the largest and the most intact imperial palace complex of the Ming and Qing Courts (1368 - 1911 AD). The majestic Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms! Which are the most essential and interesting parts? We will spend three hours or so exploring the main buildings centring upon the central axis, which splits the entire compound into two symmetrical halves. After the trip is completed, you will find yourself already near the North Gate of the Forbidden City. It’s your choice to leave with your guide or take advantage of your ticket to linger inside longer to explore the Imperial Garden for more photos. There are cafes and Beijing snacks sold in the peripheral zone, so you can just tackle your lunch here before continuing your own exploration. Your guide will be glad to provide you suggestions to get back to your hotel.
