First acquaintance with Beijing

We meet and go on a tour of the center of Beijing. Walk through one of the largest squares in the world Tiananmen. Its name translates as “the square of heavenly tranquility”, and at the same time it could fit a million people! It hosts all cultural events, locals come here on weekends and a daily ritual of raising the flag. You will see Mao Mausoleum and other architectural and historical monuments of national importance.

Then we will visit the Forbidden City of Gugong, a medieval palace complex that served until the beginning of the last century as the main residence of Chinese emperors, where ordinary people did not have access. After lunch we will visit the Temple of Heaven in 1420. Consider the blue sky roof, supported by pillars, and a unique altar of marble slabs, the number of which is a multiple of 9 - a number endowed with the highest power in Chinese mythology.

Please note: if the tour to the Forbidden City does not take place due to lack of tickets, the organizer has the right to cancel it and return the cost of entrance tickets to tourists: 60 yuan from April 1 to October 31; 40 yuan from November 1 to March 31. As compensation, we will take a free tour to Jingshan Park, where we climb to the top of the mountain and admire the Forbidden City from there.
