What to expect

  1. Temple of Heaven
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your private English-speaking guide will meet you in your hotel lobby at 2:00 PM for a comfortable transfer to the Temple of Heaven — one of Beijing's most awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    Built in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven served as the sacred stage where Chinese emperors performed elaborate annual rituals to pray for a bountiful harvest.

    Stroll through the vast temple complex with your guide, who will bring its remarkable history to life. Marvel at the iconic Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Qiniandian), with its spectacular triple-tiered circular roof — one of the most photographed structures in all of China. Discover the magical Echo Wall and the perfectly circular Circular Mound Altar, where emperors once stood to communicate with heaven. Unlike the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven is surrounded by beautiful ancient parkland, giving you a peaceful and unhurried experience rare in central Beijing.
  2. Red Theatre Beijing Acrobatic Show
    3h · Admission ticket included
    From the Temple of Heaven, head to Chinese acrobatic performance and a must-see spectacle for any visitor to the capital.

    The show is nothing short of extraordinary: witness world-class acrobats, contortionists, and martial artists perform breathtaking feats of strength, balance, and precision that have dazzled audiences for generations. The performance is colorful, fast-paced, and genuinely spectacular — a perfect window into one of China's most treasured performing art traditions. Suitable for all ages, this is the kind of show that stays with you long after you leave Beijing.

    After the performance, round off your perfect Beijing evening with a traditional Peking duck dinner at a classic local restaurant.

    After dinner, your private vehicle will transfer you comfortably back to your hotel.
