Start your tour with your Beijing hotel pickup at your preferred time by your private guide. Then take a cab or walk to your first stop, the Forbidden City. Begin your exploration of the Imperial Palace, the world's largest imperial complex, also one of the best-preserved sites. It is located in the center of Beijing. For almost 600 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government. Your tour ends here, you can continue sightseeing independently or your tour guide will help you get a taxi back to your hotel or your next destination (at your own cost).

If you want to have a bird's view of the Forbidden City, then feel free to let your guide know, continue walking to Jinshan Park, a green space in the heart of Beijing and home to one of the city’s few hills, was made from the earth dug out to make the Forbidden City’s moat. Climb to the top of the park's peak, used to be Beijing’s highest point, for a bird-eye view of the Forbidden City. On the top, you also can see the Drum and Bell Towers to the north, Beihai Park to the west.
