Pick you up at your hotel located in the downtown area of Beijing at 8:30am. Then drive to Temple of Heaven. It's an UNESCO world heritage site. The temple complex was constructed from 1406 to 1420. It's a complex of imperial religious Confucian buildings, the largest Imperial place of worship from ancient times. It was originally used by the Ming and Qing emperors to pay homage to Heaven and to pray for a year of rich harvest. Now, this special place becomes a park where the local community utilizes this beautiful and enormous space for social activities such as playing cards, singing, dancing, and Taiji practice.

The Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, is the world's largest imperial palace complex. Spanning 72 hectares in the heart of Beijing, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was the political center of China and home to 24 Ming and Qing dynasty emperors for over 500 years. Originally built between 1406 and 1420 during the Ming dynasty, the complex comprises 980 surviving buildings and is the largest collection of ancient wooden architecture in the world. It gets its name from its strict historical rules: access was strictly limited to the emperor, the imperial family, and their servants, making it a completely "forbidden" world to commoners. You’ll spend several hours wandering around this amazing example of Imperial architecture and learning about the history of the palace. English audio guide devices will be provided in Forbidden City for better understanding the rich history and stories about the imperial families hidden behand the grand architectural buildings.

Jingshan Park (Prospect Hill) is a 57-acre imperial garden located directly north of the Forbidden City in downtown Beijing. Its artificial hill sits on Beijing’s Central Axis. The pavilion on the mountaintop is universally celebrated as the best vantage point for sweeping, panoramic views of the Forbidden City.

Having an early dinner and taking a Beijing night tour to one of the most beautiful architecture in this capital city- National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), famously known as the "Giant Egg". This iconic titanium and glass dome, designed by Paul Andreu, is surrounded by an artificial lake and serves as China's premier venue for opera, music, and theater. You will visit some exhibitions and enjoying a concert/opera.
