Picked up by our tour guide at Beijing airport in the morning. Then head to Tiananmen Square,the largest public square of this kind in the world. Located in the heart of Beijing City, it is the site for massive parades and rallies. This was the site when in 1949, from a rostrum on Tiananmen (the Gate of Heavenly Peace), Chairman Mao proclaim the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
Then move on to Forbidden City ( 2 hours ). The Forbidden City is the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644 -1911). For almost 500 years, it served as the seat- bed of the Emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.
People have to enter Forbidden City from its southern gate ( linked to Tiananmen Square) and exit from its northern gate, which is officially set as a one-way south to north travel route.
Then have an excursion to Mutianyu Great Wall (hiking about 2 hours), the most beautiful section of the all 5 major sections of the Great Wall around Beijing, less crowded than Badaling Great Wall with picturesque views. Mutianyu Great Wall once worked as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs. It is a green section of the great wall in Beijing with vegetation, green pines and cypresses covering 90 per cent of the section.
There are 23 watchtowers on the Mutianyu Great Wall snaking the ridge for about 3000 meters. The watch towers at Mutianyu Great Wall are distributed at short intervals. The 23 watch towers are numbered from right (east) to left (west). The 23rd tower is highest point of the Mutianyu Great Wall.
