    Your private driver and professional guide will greet you at your Beijing hotel lobby, holding a personalized name sign for easy identification. We’ll head first to the Temple of Heaven—the sacred imperial site where Ming and Qing emperors performed grand sacrifices to pray for bumper harvests. Follow your guide on a guided tour of this architectural masterpiece, and dive into the fascinating rituals of imperial heaven worship and harvest prayers. You’ll explore key structures including:
  • Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest
    First, step into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests—the temple’s crown jewel, a striking circular structure crowned with a magnificent triple-tiered roof. Your guide will unpack its profound importance, delving into the building’s ingenious feng shui principles and architectural feats that embody ancient Chinese beliefs of harmony between heaven and earth. Next, follow the serene Imperial Walkway to the Imperial Vault of Heaven. Here, linger by the legendary Echo Wall—a marvel of acoustic engineering where even soft whispers carry clearly across its curved surface, offering a playful yet fascinating glimpse into ancient craftsmanship.
  • Yuanqiutan
    Cap off your temple exploration at the Circular Mound Altar, the sacred stage where Ming and Qing emperors performed grand sacrifices to heaven, praying for national prosperity and bumper harvests. Stand on the Central Heavenly Stone at the altar’s heart, and imagine the imperial rituals of old—feeling the same sense of awe as emperors once did when communing with the heavens. Spend 2–3 hours immersed in this UNESCO-listed site, with your guide illuminating the rich rituals and cultural stories behind every corner. Afterwards, we’ll head to a local restaurant for a delicious authentic Chinese lunch to refuel.
  • Mutianyu Great Wall
    You have the option to take the cable car (round - trip or one - way) or the chairlift (one - way) to reach the higher sections of the Great Wall with ease. If you choose the chairlift one - way, you can experience the exciting toboggan slide on your way down. Spend around 2 hours exploring the Great Wall. Walk along the ancient bricks, take in the breathtaking scenery, and capture memorable photos. Your guide will accompany you, sharing fascinating historical stories and answering any questions you may have. Learn about the construction techniques and the strategic role the Great Wall played in ancient times. After a fulfilling day of exploration, your driver will take you back to your hotel. Your guide will bid you farewell, and you can reflect on a wonderful day filled with rich history, culture, and amazing experiences.
  • When it’s time to head down, if you’ve opted for Mutianyu Great Wall, you can swap the ordinary for fun: skip the cable car and glide down the mountainside on a ski lift and toboggan for an exhilarating end to your Great Wall adventure. Once the Great Wall exploration wraps up, we’ll retrace our route and drive you back to your Beijing hotel, bringing your unforgettable day tour to a perfect close.
