Detailed itinerary
Day 1: Palace courtyards and old Beijing
Explore the Forbidden City with your guide, then visit Jingshan Park for an elevated view across the palace roofs. Continue into the hutongs for a courtyard visit, looking at how the city’s residential streets differ from its ceremonial spaces. A Peking Opera introduction adds a performing-arts element to the day, with the format confirmed before your visit.
Day 2: Temple of Heaven and Mutianyu
Begin at the Temple of Heaven, where circular structures, blue roof tiles and the surrounding park introduce imperial ritual and everyday recreation. Travel out to Mutianyu for a walk along the restored Great Wall. Your guide selects a stretch that suits your pace before the return to your hotel or the onward transfer arranged in your booking.
Planning your visit
Palace admission, courtyard visits and the opera introduction require advance coordination. The proposal confirms transport, guiding, tickets and any meals; Mutianyu lift or toboggan arrangements are specified separately.
