Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)
Your friendly tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Beijing in the morning. You will firstly visit Tiananmen Square, the largest public square of this kind in the world. The visit here allows you to have a glimpse at the outside of Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao, the Monument to the People's Heroes, the magnificent Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, the ancient Zhengyang Gate and Arrow Tower as well as the Tiananmen Tower which leads to the well-known Forbidden City.
Forbidden City-The Palace Museum
Then move on to the Imperial Palace, also known as the "Forbidden City", the largest and best-preserved ancient imperial palaces group with 500 years history. The palace was built between 1406 and 1420, but was burnt down, rebuilt, sacked and renovated countless times, so most of the architecture you can see today dates from the 1700's and onwards.

We had an exceptional tour with Linda (Ling Ling)! She was so considerate of us that we felt like old friends. Because of Linda’s excellent English language proficiency and her vast knowledge of each site we visited, we felt we got the most out of the time spent on this one-day tour. It was an unhurried day, but we saw so much. Do yourself a favor and ask for Linda!

I simply loved this day with Mei, what's more, was my first day in Beijing. With her great kindness and communicative dynamism, she immediately put me at ease. She has brought a lot of information about the history behind each monument.

We had a great tour with Bo Bo and she was exceptional in handling us from one place to another with complete knowledge about ancient China and humor us with some forbidden city corridor gossips. Great tour highly recommended
