Tour 'Wow' Points

The Forbidden City (Palace Museum)

Also known as the Forbidden City, this is the largest ancient palace complex in the world, once home to 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. With 9,999 rooms, it is divided into two main sections: the Outer Court, where emperors held state ceremonies, and the Inner Court, where they lived and managed daily affairs. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's a must-see for history and architecture lovers.

Badaling Great Wall

Badaling is the most iconic and best-preserved section of the Great Wall from the Ming Dynasty. Once known as one of the “Nine Strategic Strongholds Under Heaven,” it is now part of Beijing’s Top 16 Scenic Spots and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hike along this ancient wonder, embrace the spirit of a true hero, and admire the majestic curves of this dragon-like fortress winding through the mountains.

Shichahai Scenic Area

Shichahai is a beautiful lake district surrounded by traditional hutongs and courtyard homes. It’s one of the best-preserved historical areas in Beijing. The famed opera master Mei Lanfang spent his final years here. Nicknamed the “Venice of the North,” it’s been named one of the top 24 must-visit places in Asia by European travel media.



Temple of Heaven (Tiantan Park)

Built in 1420, the Temple of Heaven was where emperors prayed for good harvests. The park is famous for its harmonious layout, unique acoustics, and symbolic architecture, including the Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.



Bird’s Nest (National Stadium)

The Bird’s Nest, officially the National Stadium, was the centerpiece of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Its striking “nest-like” steel design has become a modern architectural icon, symbolizing China’s blend of tradition and innovation on the world stage.


Prince Gong’s Mansion (Gong Wang Fu)

This lavish Qing dynasty mansion once belonged to high-ranking officials and Prince Gong. Often called “half the history of the Qing Dynasty in one residence,” it features elegant courtyards, gardens, and intricate architecture. It's also believed to have inspired the aristocratic settings in Dream of the Red Chamber, one of China's literary classics.



Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)

China’s best-preserved imperial garden, the Summer Palace blends natural beauty with royal architecture. Modeled after Hangzhou’s West Lake, it features scenic spots like the Long Corridor, Marble Boat, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and Suzhou Market Street. It’s often called a living museum of classical Chinese landscaping.



Qianmen Street

Qianmen Street is one of Beijing’s oldest and most famous shopping avenues, located just south of Tiananmen Square. Historically used by emperors on their way to the Temple of Heaven, it’s now a vibrant pedestrian street lined with time-honored shops, local snacks, and traditional tramcars.
