Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
The Temple of Heaven's sacrificial complex.

Morning: Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City: Start at Tiananmen Square, then enter the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate. As the world's largest palace complex, it consists of 980 surviving buildings. You will explore the Outer Court, including the Hall of Supreme Harmony where emperors held grand ceremonies, and the Inner Court, the residential area for the imperial family. Your guide will recount tales of court intrigue, dynastic rules, and architectural symbolism, bringing the 500-year history of the Ming and Qing empires to life.
Lunch: Enjoy a traditional Beijing-style lunch at a local restaurant recommended by your guide.
Afternoon: The Temple of Heaven: Spend the afternoon at the Temple of Heaven. Focus on the main structures: the Circular Mound Altar, where emperors conducted winter solstice ceremonies, and the Imperial Vault of Heaven, a single-gabled circular building surrounded by the famous Echo Wall. The entire complex is an outstanding example of how architecture can embody philosophical and cosmological ideas, with its emphasis on circles representing heaven and squares representing earth.
Evening: Chinese Acrobatic Show: To cap off the day, head to a theater to watch a spectacular Chinese acrobatic show. Known for their death-defying stunts, incredible flexibility, and artistic choreography, these performances have been a part of Chinese culture for centuries. Acts often include plate-spinning, contortionism, juggling, and human pyramids, showcasing the perfect blend of skill, balance, and grace.
