Please note that we have three different tour packages available. Please choose according to your needs, and check carefully the different meeting points and times for each option. You must bring your actual valid passport for this tour. Option 1 Tian’anmen Square & Forbidden City Group Tour Start time: 7:30 am & 9:30am & 11:30am Meeting point: In front of Laoshe Teahouse Option 2 Forbidden City & Coal Hill Park Group Tour (without Tian’anmen Square) Start time: 8:00 am & 12:30 pm Meeting point: In front of Donghuamen (East Gate of the Forbidden City) Option 3 2 Hour Forbidden City Group Tour Start time: 9:00 AM & 2:00 PM Meet at Meridian Gate (the main entrance of the Forbidden City)

For Option 1: You will visit Tian'anmen Square first. Tiananmen Square is the geographical center of Beijing City. It is the largest city square in the world, occupying an area of 440,000 square meters. Followed by your expert and professional guide, a very informative introduction of the Tian'anmen square and surrounding buildings will be given to your group, as everyone moves along towards to the Forbidden City. (Note: In peak season security checks at Tiananmen Square are particularly stringent. If the waiting time exceeds 1 hour, we recommend considering a bus ride that passes by the square. Additionally, spending too much time at the square could detract from your experience at the iconic Forbidden City, which is a highlight of our tour. We will only proceed with this alternative if the majority of the group is in agreement. Please keep this in mind as we plan our visit.)

После входа в Запретный город ваш гид найдет тихую зону отдыха и познакомит вас с дворцом, заставляя вас почувствовать себя погруженным в историю династий Мин и Цин. Люди всегда говорят: когда посещаешь Запретный город, 70% — это узнать истории и 30% — увидеть дворец. Во время пешеходной экскурсии вы остановитесь в разных местах, чтобы провести «время историй» и получить представление об увлекательной культуре. Этот подробный тур по Запретному городу также включает посещение важных музеев, чтобы открыть для себя сокровища династий Мин и Цин.

You'll be walking pass the most notable buildings during the tour as well as the west and east chambers. Check the Itinerary for the full list of sights. Stroll around the courtyards and halls of the Forbidden city with your tour guide, and learn the histories and stories about this massive palace. You will visit these buildings inside the Forbidden City.

Including the Hall of Supreme Harmony (for grand imperial ceremonies), the Hall of Central Harmony (for the emperor's pre-ritual rest and preparation) and the Hall of Preserving Harmony (for royal banquets and the imperial examination).

Then continue to explore the imperial living quarters in the palace: the Hall of Heavenly Purity (the emperor’s bedroom and office), the Hall of Union (a symbolic hall for imperial couples), and the Hall of Earthly Tranquillity (the empress’s residence). Our knowledgeable tour guide will share fascinating stories and intriguing historical facts behind these magnificent buildings throughout the tour.

Если вы выберете вариант 2, после Запретного города. Погрузитесь в богатую историю Пекина, совершив короткую прогулку по парку Цзиншань, поднимитесь на вершину холма Цзиншань с вашим гидом, насладитесь панорамными видами на городской пейзаж Пекина, включая непревзойденный вид на Запретный город. При выборе варианта 2 ваш тур закончится здесь.

If you choose Option 3, you will only visit the Forbidden City. The tour includes entry ticket and guided service, lasting about 2 hours. Please arrive on time; late arrivals cannot join the tour.
