Tick off two of China's most iconic sites during this in-depth guided tour of Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City. Delve into Chinese history with your guide and benefit from pre-booked tickets.
Forbidden City
Meet the guide at the Grand Hotel or in your downtown hotel lobby if you choose a private tour (at your own transportation expense). First, visit Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world.
Then, walk from the South Meridian Gate to the Forbidden City. Spend a couple of hours wandering around this imperial palace, which served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political center of the Chinese government.
Delve into the history of the palace, which hosted both the Ming and Qing dynasties for around 500 years. Explore the southern section (the Outer Court), where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. Continue to the northern section (the Inner Court) to see where he lived with his royal family.
After the Forbidden City, choose to just spend more time at the Forbidden City, visit Jinshan Park on your own, or have the guide help you find a taxi to go back to the hotel.
