Flexible Private Beijing Layover Tour

Don’t spend your Beijing stopover inside the airport; maximize your time in China and opt for a private and customizable sightseeing tour instead. This personalized layover tour is tailored to your needs and allows you to tick off Beijing city attractions, such as Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Beihai Park, etc. in limited time. English speaking tour guide, private vehicle, and airport or hotel pickup and drop-off are included.

Your professional tour guide will greet you at the airport arrival hall by holding your name sign. You will travel to the Beijing city (about 40-60 minutes) by private car. Since this midway trip can be adjusted flexibly according to your interests, you can freely discuss it with the tour guide on your way to downtown.
Typically, you will first visit the world’s largest public areas—Tiananmen Square, home to the National Museum of China, the mausoleum of Mao Zedong and the great Monument to the Peoples’ Heroes. From there you will pass through the South gate to the magnificent Forbidden City – a 250-acre complex of courtyards, palaces, pavilions and gardens, which served as the imperial palace for emperors and their households for more than 500 years. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987.
Then, you will visit the Temple of Heaven which was visited by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is one of several worship sites in the capital where the emperors offered sacrifices. It was constructed between 1406 and 1420 during the reign of Ming Emperor YongLe, who also oversaw the creation of the Forbidden City during the same period. You will get a change to enjoy the local’s exercise in the temple and are welcome to join them in the park.
After that, you will take the rickshaw along the Hutong allay and visit a local family in their courtyard home to discover the life style of the locals.
