Begin your private trip with a visit to Tiananmen Square. Every early morning and sunset, people can watch the most majestic national flag raising and lowering ceremonies. After that, you will walk for a few minutes to the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the most comprehensive palace museum, as well as the largest ancient culture and art museum, containing a great collection of valuable historical items in China. To avoid the cheap tourist restaurants as the most are doing now, we specially arrange you an a la carte welcome lunch at a famous and elegant restaurant. The afternoon visit will take you to the Temple of Heaven. Four times larger than the Forbidden City in area, the Temple of Heaven has always been a sacred imperial temple for the emperors to sacrifice to the God of Heaven and pray for a good harvest year. Afterwards, you will have a Hutong rickshaw tour to experience the traditional Hutong culture and the local way of life. Meals: Western buffet breakfast, A la carte welcome lunch

Today's highlight is to visit Mutianyu Great Wall. The round-trip cable car is included. We will specially provide red wine for a group-toasting on the Great Wall. The restaurants nearby the site are of low standard, so we do not arrange the lunch today. It may be the best that you have a big breakfast at the hotel and have some fast food for lunch by yourself. Your guide will show you some restaurants. In the afternoon, we will drive you back to downtown and pass by the Bird's Nest, also called the Olympic National Stadium, we will make a stopover for you to take pictures of this huge nest.  At last, you will enjoy some free time at a local market.
