After a delicious local lunch, ascend Jingshan Hill for sweeping views of the palace rooftops and Beijing’s historic central axis — an unforgettable panorama that reveals the city’s imperial layout.
Begin your day at the graceful Temple of Heaven, where emperors once prayed for good harvests. Join locals in morning tai chi, calligraphy, or music — a delightful window into Beijing’s living culture.
Then, drive through scenic countryside to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, famed for its majestic views and fewer crowds. Ascend by cable car and stroll atop this architectural wonder, where the Great Wall winds across forested ridges as far as the eye can see.
Discover the charm of Beijing’s Hutongs, narrow alleyways lined with traditional courtyard homes. Visit a local family for tea and a home-cooked lunch — an intimate cultural exchange that reveals the warmth of Beijing’s residents.
