Summer Palace & Temple of Heaven Private Tour

On this tour, we explore two significant monuments in Beijing: the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven, along with a visit to the Pearl Market.

Summer Palace & Temple of Heaven

After pickup from your hotel's foyer, we will travel northwest to the Summer Palace, covering 290 hectares. This property was used by Qing dynasty emperors in summer. We will explore its notable areas while learning about its history and legends.

Following the visit, we'll have lunch at a location of your choice.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Temple of Heaven, a large sacred building where emperors made sacrifices for abundant harvests. The surrounding park is also notable, featuring locals engaging in tai chi, playing cards, flying kites, and attending dance classes.

Our last stop is the Pearl Market, which offers a variety of clothes, accessories, jewelry, and replicas, despite its name suggesting otherwise.

The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel (or another location) 8 hours after pickup. During winter or in summer with an early finish, we may also visit the Beijing Olympic Village.

Hotel Pickup

Pickup is included at central hotels in Beijing. An additional fee applies for hotels outside this area.
