Tiananmen Square
The Tiananmen Square is located at the central axis of Beijing City, where you can appreciate many outstanding buildings. In the center of the square stands the Monument to People's Heroes, whose reliefs tell the vital events during the modern China history (1840-1949), and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall where the remains of this great leader is preserved. At the northern end stands the Tiananmen Tower which used to be the front door of the imperial city during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the south of the square, you can find the Zhengyang Gate and the Qianmen Arrow Tower, both with a history of around 600 years.

The past time has left the Forbidden City with over 70 imposing palaces and more than 9,000 rooms, as well as millions of rare historical items including paintings, calligraphy works, ceramics, bronze wares, and clocks.

We spent a good time in every scenic spot and the wonderful explanations helped us to learn more about Chinese history and culture. In general, this one-day trip was enjoyable and fruitful!
The lunch recommended by our guide was pretty good and we enjoyed the Beijing’s snacks like pea cake. Besides the Great Wall, we also visited the Forbidden City. The guide’s explanation was fantastic and we were all fascinated.
The TravelChinaGuide helped us to arrange a tour to the forbidden city and after that we went to the great wall of china.
They were very helpfull with the arrangement before we left home and came up with a good solution despite the short time we had for the tour.
We were picked up directly at the airport when we arrived and went direct to the forbidden city to start the tour.
We had an excellent guide that had a great knowledge of the chinese culture and history, so she made the experience even more interesting.
We also had a good car and driver that was with us all day and took us safely between the places we visited.
The guide helped us through the whole day with all practical things such as lunch and were to buy some souvenirs, she even surprised us with an extra stop to taste some local tea.
After this wonderful day we were taken to our hotel and the guide even helped us to check in, so the service and overall experience was excellent and i can recommend to use TravelChinaGuide. ... More
