Welcome to take our China private tour with daily departure, which can be tailored to meet your individual interests. You will enjoy a more personalized experience as the trip is only for your private party, with no other people.  Today your international flight will arrive in Beijing. After you reclaim your luggage and clear Customs, you will see our guide greeting you at the exit of the airport, holding a sign on which your name is written. We will transfer you to the hotel and help you finish the check-in procedure. The remainder of the day is free for you to rest or explore.

The morning excursions will be the famous Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. As a palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has a mysterious aura. An a la carte welcome lunch at a nicely decorated and noted local restaurant will follow allowing you to taste diversified Chinese food. In the afternoon we will visit the Temple of Heaven, a delicate ancient architectural complex where emperors once offered sacrifices to the God of Heaven. After that enjoy the old local culture and local customs by visiting the narrow alleys, also called Hutongs. You may take a special rickshaw ride through various Hutongs and enjoy the prosperous street view with dazzling goods on sale.  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. 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 you will take a look at the Bird's Nest, used for the 2008 Olympic Games and take some pictures. Finally, your guide will accompany you to a famous local market and leave you some free time for exploration. Meals: Western buffet breakfast
