Itinerary

  • Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

    The famous monument “Tiananmen” is in the center of Beijing, along the northern edge of Tiananmen Square. Wandering in the square, we will see the great hall of the People, the Monument to the People’s Heroes, Mausoleum of Chairman Mao and national Museum of China from outside.

    30 minutes

  • Beihai Park (Beihai Gongyuan)

    We walk to Beihai Park, from far we can see the white pagoda on the mountain which has been the symbol of the park. Lake is the important part, covering more than half space of the park. Wandering along the lake side and enjoy the peaceful lake view, we can see the local people dancing or doing exercise. Also, I will show you the biggest Nine-dragons wall of China in this park, you will be amazed by the vivid patterns.

    1 hour

  • Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Entering from the Meridian Gate, we are going to beat the crowd and visit the palace through a less-know route, such as the only black colored roof building-Pavilion of the imperial library, the nine-dragon wall, the grand opera tower in the palace and the residence of empress Dowager Cixi: the hall of happiness and longevity, and more.

    2 hours

  • Jingshan Park

    We will also climb up to artificial mountain in the Jingshan Park, where is the best vista point to catch the whole forbidden view and to see the drum tower on the end of the central axis.

Amazing private tour to The Forbidden City!

Published on Jun, 2024

We have an amazing experience on the walking tour with Justin, he was great and very patient, even though we needed to stand up on a long super crowed line at the security check point at the Forbidden City, he manage to make the tour a great experience, also he was super kind to support us on a missing item that we left at one of the Didi cars that driven us to the last location. In general, our experience was awesome, The Forbidden City is just incredible and magnificent. We highly recommend this private tour, and we highly recommend that you ask for Justin as your guide!

Good tour and great value!

Published on Mar, 2019

My parents, my husband and I did this tour with Joyce and she was great! She was knowledgeable and was able to personalize the tour to our needs. The company and Joyce are HONEST and extremely easy to work with. The day we went, we weren't able to do the rickshaw ride and they gave us some money back which is amazing for any tour group. Thank you Catherine Lu Tours!
