Get to know Beijing and its amazing history by visiting three of the city’s most impressive historic attractions: Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Beijing is an enormous city of nearly 15 million people, with one of the oldest cultures on earth. This seven-hour tour, combined with the complimentary tour 2042SIC_06, provides the perfect, unhurried introduction to all there is to see in amazing Beijing.

Your relaxed seven-hour tour begins at Tian’anmen Square, focusing on a more recent page from China’s history and the Cultural Revolution of Chairman Mao Zedong. You will tour the grounds and see Tian’anmen Tower, monument to the People’s Heroes, Great Hall of the People and Chairman Mao’s monument.
