4-Hour Small Group Tour to Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City

Overview of the tour in Beijing

Embark on our adventure starting at the Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall. Skip the lengthy lines by using the travel agency's passage to enter Tian'anmen Square. As you set foot in the square, sense the profound weight of history. Your guide will lead you through, unraveling its past and highlighting significant structures such as the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong, the Monument to the People's Heroes, and Tian'anmen Gate.

Transition seamlessly into the Forbidden City through the south gate. Follow your guide through various courtyards and halls, delving into the history of the palace and the Ming and Qing dynasties. Feel free to inquire about the intricacies of life within the Forbidden City as you explore the central areas and a selection of courtyards along the west chamber.
