Activity itinerary

Summer Palace (Yiheyuan)

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
At the Summer Palace, your expert guide will take you on a 2‑hour walking tour through China’s largest and most magnificent imperial garden. You’ll wander along the Long Corridor, decorated with thousands of intricate paintings, and ascend the Buddhist Incense Temple for sweeping views over Kunming Lake. Your guide will bring history to life with stories of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Qing court’s summer retreats. You’ll also see the iconic Marble Boat, cross the Seventeen‑Arch Bridge, and explore the harmonious blend of natural hills, water, and classical pavilions. This immersive stroll reveals why the Summer Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a masterpiece of Chinese landscape design.

Temple of Heaven (Pass by)

At the Temple of Heaven, your expert guide will lead you through this magnificent UNESCO site, where Ming and Qing emperors once performed annual ceremonies to pray for good harvests. You’ll visit the iconic Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a stunning triple‑eaved circular structure built entirely without nails, and walk across the Circular Mound Altar where the emperor communicated with heaven. Your guide will explain the fascinating acoustics of the Echo Wall and the symbolic design of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. Along the way, you’ll see local residents practising tai chi, dancing, and playing traditional instruments – a living glimpse of Beijing’s daily culture. This 2‑hour walking tour brings ancient rituals and architectural genius to life, revealing why the Temple of Heaven is considered the pinnacle of Chinese sacred architecture.
