Great Wall
Summer Palace
Temple of Heaven
Ming Tombs
Hutong Tour
Lama Temple
Beihai Park
Capital Museum
1. Forbidden City ( the Imperial Palace )
Beijing is an old capital city developing at a fast pace. The Forbidden City is the ideal place for you to
begin your exploration of Beijing by opening its mysterious face. With over 9,000 rooms and over 250
acres, this large palace building was built between 1406 and 1420. It burned down and was rebuilt,
sacked and renovated for times, so most of the architecture you can see today dates back to the 18th
century in the Qing Dynasty. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot! There is a
Starbucks in the palace in case you need some coffee to recharge you . I highly recommend you to have
a guide. It is quite helpful to have a guide escort you and tell the stories behind the palace . If you are a
non-group tourist, I suggest you rent a multi lingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate ( southern
gate of Forbidden city ) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it
when you finish your Forbidden City Tour.

2. Tiananmen Square
What is the most representative place in Beijing? The answers are various. But Tiananmen Square is
unarguably on the top list. Lying in the heart of Beijing City, it is the place for massive parades and
gathering. It boasts of the largest square of such kind in the world. This was the place when in 1949, from
a rostrum on Tiananmen (the Gate of Heavenly Peace), Chairman Mao announced the establishment of
the People's Republic of China. Tiananmen Square is circled by Tiananmen (Gate of Heaven Peace) on
its north; the Great Hall of the People on its west; on the east of Tiananmen Square lies the National
Museum of China,; there are Monument to the People's Heroes and Chairman Mao's Mausoleum on the
south.
At sunrise and sunset the raising and lowering ceremony of the Chinese National Flag is well worth
seeing. The young troops perform very well. Make sure to be there 30 minutes earlier to get a good

mainly comprised of Longevity Hill (Washoushan) and Kunming Lake. Much of the park is covered by

5. Temple of Heaven ( Tiantan )
Temple of Heaven is one of the real highlights of Beijing. It is situated in the southern Beijing City. It has
been one of the most sacred sites for the whole country for the past five centuries. It worked as sacrificial
compound buildings for the Ming and Qing emperors. It boasts of the largest sacrificial place in Beijing
among a few imperial altars to Heaven, Earth, the Sun, the Moon super natures. What's the intriguing
by- production of the temple is that if you enter the Temple of Heaven in the early morning, you can find
many people doing all types of kung fu and taiji and other morning exercises. Furthermore, many people
happily play each other with music, songs or cards. You can also join them if you want. The most highliht
part of the temple is the unique century-old trees - row upon row of Chinese cypress, Chinese juniper and
scholar trees etc. Some of the cypresses are over 600 years old! When once visiting the temple, Dr
Henry Kissinger, said that the USA could rebuild the Temple of Heaven if it wanted, but it could not
produce the trees!

6. Ming Tombs ( 13 tombs in Ming Dynasty )
Located 50 kilometers northwest of the downtown Beijing, noted as the 13 Tombs , this is the burial area
of 13 out of 17 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644. It was the
final dynasty in China administered by ethnic Hans. At present there are only two tombs which have been
dug and open to the public: Dingling Tomb and Changling Tomb. Changling Tomb is the first tomb to be
excavated. It took two years for the digging and restoration, and was opened in 1958. Dingling has been
excavated so completely that people now have to go into the burial chamber itself. However, it is a very
deep climb down and people with problems of their heart or kneels are not advised to visit the
underground tomb. Wheel-chair users or people with some difficulty of action, I advise them to visit the
Changling Tomb instead.

7. Hutong Pedicab Tour ( Shichahai Area )
Do you want to experience a man-driving Pedicab? In today's well preserved old Beijing hutong areas,
you can still find this kind of old transportation tool now still kept for tourists as the typical traffic tool of
travelling the hutong - Beijing featuring old city alleys. The neighbourhoods of narrow, twisting streets
represent the real life of ordinary Beijingers, where passageways - small narrow ways link to courtyards
of traditional connected homes. Rickshaw tours of the hutongs consist of the sites that normally include
the Drum Tower, courtyard neighbourhoods and Prince Gong's Building. There are many small
restaurants, bars and inns. Ascending the top of the Bell Tower you can have a bird's eye view of the
surrounding hutongs. The most intriguing part of the hutong travel is wandering through
Alley
Beijing.

Two Areas for Hutong Exploring:
Shichahai Area: north of Beihai Park
Dazhalan Area: south of Tiananmen Square
Rickshaw: RMB 50-100

8. Lama Temple (Yonghegong)
Lama Temple is Beijing's most frequented
religious place. It is comprised of five main halls and many galleries. This temple was first the palace
offered to a prince. When he gained the throne, he offered it to the Tibetan Buddhists as the religious
sacred place. The Lama Temple is dedicated to the Yellow Sect of Buddhism. It is actually an active
temple, with many faithful belivers with burning armloads of incense. The temple has a valuable relic: the
biggest Buddha statue carved from a single tree. The statue is huge with three stories up and about nine
feet across. It is quite easy to get to the temple for it is the only temple in the downtown Beijing which has
its own subway stop! It is a large place for sightseeing, not for something you only travel in only 20
minutes.
How to go there:
Address: No.13 Imperial College Stree, Dongcheng District, Beijing

Forbidden City. Among many things to see, there are now two important things not to be missed here: the
park itself and the round city. The round city has a jar, which is believed to be the only thing left from the
great Khan that reigned China in Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368 A.D). You can hire a rowboat and row the
boat on the water. The interesting attractions in Beihai Park are Round City, White Pagoda, Jade Flower
Island, Nine- Dragon Wall, Wanfo Lou Tower, Iron Screen etc. The lake is Beijing's biggest and prettiest
public lake.

How to get around the top 10 places in Beijing?
Tourists normally have three ways to get around the top 10 or more places in Beijing.
1. Take advantage of relatives, friends or business relationship in Beijing to arrange their tours in Beijing.
2. Plan your Beijing tour mainly on your own by searching internet and travel books and take local public
buses, subway, or taxi to get around the city.
3. Locate an authentic local tour operator in Beijing to take worry-free and resourseful Beijing tours. Local
tour operators in Beijing normally provide two kinds of tours:
1) Beijing seat- in bus tours ( or also called Beijing coach tours, or Beijing join-in group tours )
For Beijing bus tours, you will be put in a small group (around 10 travellers) with other travellers from
different parts of the world on the same tour coach. You will be escorted by our knowlegeable and helpful
English speaking tour guides to complete your unforgetable Beijing tour.
Join-in Group Bus Tour strong points: economical, meet new friends by encountering the other travellers.
2) Beijing Private Tours Private tours are personal tours with your exclusive use of a vehicle and a tour
guide. No other travellers will join you. You have much more flexibility in scheduling your travel. Private
Beijing Tours good points: flexible, more persoanl, more interactive, but a lttle more expensive than a
coach tour.

Travelling tips for Beijing travellers:
1. Taking a Taxi:
Taking a taxi is normally quite all right in Beijing. But still be aware for illegal taxis!
You are kindly advised to mind the following methods to take the real taxi:
1) The legal taxi plaque number begins with the number
2) The legal taxi should be equipped with the light on the top and meter measuring.
3) It's better to take a cab on the road instead of a taxi waiting somewhere. The empty taxi
must present a red light in the front window. You are kindly informed that there are two places where you
will possibly meet the illegal ( black ) taxi:
A. The cab waiting at the North Gate of Forbidden City. Most of the time the legal cabs are not allowed to
wait in front of the gate. If you still want to take a taxi when you end your visit to the Forbidden City, we
advise you to walk about 200 meters and find a taxi moving on the road B. Please have a close look at
the taxi waiting at the Summer Palace. We still suggest you take a going cab. Don't take a the taxi which
has no letter
2. Becareful! Don't go aboard the black
While travelling independently in Beijing, you may have the possibility of encountering illegal tour
organizers promoting the tours on the streets. In Beijing, there are still some black illegal daily tour
coaches dispatching
tour once you get on it. To promote their illegal trips, these sales persons very often deliver a small card
to passing-by travellers who want to go to the Great Wall by standing on some public areas most possibly
like the street, Tian'anmen Square, or the entrance of the Forbidden City etc. They would use their
pay extra fees again and again. Sometimes even the Great Wall is the section you want to visit! You are
kindly reminded not to take their card if you meet them. Actually it's very easy to point out an illegal tour
coach in Beijing. A legal tour coach plaque begins with
tour coach
art students:
In some places, you may encounter some so-called art students who are coming to you and speaking to
you with the overt aim of practicing their spoken English with you. But actually, you will find later that they
are going to sell some fake stuff to you by leading you to a show hall! Especially be careful of these
places:
jing Street
men Square,
ck coffee inside the Forbidden City
ng Panjiayuan flea market
If you show a great interest in travelling Panjiayuan flea market which is open only on weekends, please
know some art of bargainning. You must understand that some of the stuff are not real antique.
Beijing a safe city?
Beijing is now definitely one of the safest cities in the world. But we cannot make any promise that there
is no danger at all simply because it is a capital city. When we talk about danger, we often think people
are getting robbed, cheated or misdirected in terms of money not necessarily putting a gun or knife on
your back! Chinese people don't like crime. So we advise you to take care of your personal belongings
and use your brain often.
ng the street:
Some local people don't have much sense of traffic rule and regulation. On the street, you migh feel
scared to see how some people in Beijing cross the street. Some drivers don't offer priority to the walking
people or bicycles. At the same time some people neglect the traffic signals and the cars too! Sometimes
some people ignore the colour change of the traffic. Please don't follow those who ignore the traffic
regulation. Always remember that some of the drivers on the roads are quite new! So anything will
happen!
7. Pickpockets:
In Beijing today, like other big cities in the world, you can still find some pickpockets in Beijing. Most of
the dangerious places: scenic spots, commercial areas, on the buses and subway etc. Beside these
areas, you have to be alert whereever you are, especially when you are in a supermarket or a restaurant.
