Activity itinerary

Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
The Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, is the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex in the world. Located in the heart of Beijing, it served as the home of 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. With over 900 buildings and stunning golden rooftops, it showcases traditional Chinese architecture at its finest. Every hall and courtyard tells a storey of ancient court life, politics, and art. Walking through its vast grounds, visitors are immersed in centuries of imperial history and culture. From the grand Meridian Gate to the quiet inner chambers, the Forbidden City is both majestic and mysterious. It is a must-see for anyone interested in China’s royal past and remains one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the world today. Whether you're on a city tour, walking tour, or half-day sightseeing tour, the Forbidden City promises a rich and unforgettable journey into Chinese heritage.

Mutianyu Great Wall

  • 4h
  • Admission ticket included
Mutianyu Great Wall is one of the most scenic and accessible sections of the Great Wall of China, known for its lush forested surroundings and beautifully restored structure. Located about 70 kilometres from city centre Beijing, it is less crowded than the popular Badaling section, making it a preferred destination for international travellers. The wall here winds through rolling hills and offers sweeping mountain views in all directions. With solid stonework, grand watchtowers, and well-maintained paths, it provides a safe yet authentic hiking experience. Mutianyu also features optional cable car and toboggan rides, adding fun and convenience for all ages. As a highlight of many sightseeing tours, bus tours, or private day trips, this area offers a peaceful and enriching way to explore one of the world’s greatest ancient wonders. A visit to Mutianyu is a journey into both nature and history — calm, inspiring, and truly unforgettable.
