An amazing experience in Beijing !
We had a wonderful time visiting the Beijing Zoo and the Great Wall with our guide Paul! He was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable and took exceptionally good care of us. We enjoyed conversing with him and learning about life in Beijing as well as the history of the Great Wall. He was also helpful in finding us food to fit my dietary needs which I appreciated. Everything about our trip has been smooth and we had such good fun. I would absolutely recommend China Highlights and Paul for their professionalism! more

Your Beijing discovery begins with the most popular attractions, the Temple of Heaven is your first destination. It was initially built for the emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the most high God in heaven for a good harvest. The outer area is a large park for morning exercise and entertainment, hence a good place for you to absorb local life and the rich culture that fills the garden area.

Walking across the Jinshui Bridge ('Golden Water Bridge') in the north, you will enter the world's largest and best-preserved imperial palaces - the Forbidden City. Built in 1420 and housed 24 emperors in the Ming and the Qing dynasties, the profound history of this palace leaves a lot of mysterious anecdotes.
