Day by Day Itinerary
Day 01: Arrival in Beijing
Our guide will meet you outside the baggage claim area at Beijing Airport and transfer you to the 5 stars Crowne Plaza Hotel (Address: No. 48 Wangfujing Avenue, Beijing, 100006). The rest of the day is free for you to have a good rest.
Accommodation: Crowne Plaza ☆☆☆☆☆
Tips: Your hotel is well located on the famous Wangfujing area, which is the golden commercial district in Beijing. Several historical sites, shopping markets and business streets are within walking distance. After checking in the hotel and having a good rest, you could just walk out of your hotel, turn right at the crossing and then turn left. It will take you no more than 5 minutes to reach the flourishing Wangfujing pedestrian street, an ideal place for shopping. You could also find a restaurant along the street for a decent dinner. It is a good choice for your free time in Beijing.
Day 02: Beijing
Visit Tian’an Men Square and the Forbidden City this morning. Then an a la carte lunch is served at a very nice restaurant to taste the authentic Chinese food. In the afternoon, visit the Temple of Heaven. A Beijing Duck Dinner will be served at a famous restaurant followed by a lively Chinese Kung Fu Show at Red Theatre.(B+L+D)
Accommodation: Crowne Plaza ☆☆☆☆☆
Descriptions:
Forbidden City - The dominant color in the Forbidden City is yellow, as yellow is the symbol of the royalty. Roofs of the major architecture in the city are covered with yellow colored glazed tiles; decorations of the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are yellow. However, Wenyuan Ge is an exception. Its roof is black colored. Why is it like this? Actually, Wenyuan Ge was built for collected books. Ancient people believed that the black represents water and could extinguish fire. To prevent the books from fire, black glazed tiles were used.
Temple of Heaven - Different from yellow tile roof of the Forbidden City, all of the buildings’ roofs of the Temple of Heaven are covered with the dark blue glazed titles widely. It just corresponds to the blue sky, because this altar is used to worship the god of heaven.
Day 03: Beijing
Visit the Badaling Great Wall. To avoid having lunch at shopping site restaurants, you will be driven to a local popular restaurant to have Sichuan food. Visit the Sacred Way and the Ming Tomb in the afternoon. On the way back to downtown, drive by the Bird’s Nest (Olympic National Stadium). You will see its appearance at a distance.(B+L)
Accommodation: Crowne Plaza ☆☆☆☆☆
Tips: After a whole day’s intense visit, you may like to find a pleasant place for relaxation. Apart from the famous Sanlitun bar street, Houhai abounds with rows of bars and cafes in the Shichahai area that are becoming people’s new favorites. The bars associated with the beautiful natural lake scenery create a perfect atmosphere. The most popular one in this area is the No. 5 Bar in the traditional Sihe courtyard style, where some bands occasionally perform. Only 10-minute taxi drive from your hotel is needed.
