Then, you will be led to go across the Tiananmen Tower to visit the Forbidden City, where 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 – 1911) lived and handled national affairs.
Served as the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Forbidden City is the largest and the best-preserved old wooden complex in the world. The whole palace is divided into Inner Court and Outer Court by the Palace of Heavenly Purity with the outer one for emperors to handle affairs and the inner one as the living place for the imperial family. The complex is also a giant museum with more than one million national treasures exhibited there.

The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 AD in the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644 AD) and rebuilt twice in the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911 AD). It was the imperial place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped the Heaven and prayed for harvests. It is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. The well-known Altar of Prayer for Good Harvests is the main architecture there. Your guide will lead you to visit the Circular Mound Altar, Imperial Vault of Heaven, Divine Music Administration and Palace of Abstinence, and learn Heaven worship culture in ancient China.
If you don’t visit the temple of heaven, then we are going to visit the Summer Palace, where is the last stop of today. Built in Qing Dynasty, Summer Palace is the best-preserved and largest-scaled imperial garden in China that absolutely worths a visit. Longevity Hill, Kunming Lake and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge are all famous. Longevity Hill lies by Kunming Lake, which is a pretty large natural lake in Beijing.
