—Itinerary Introduction—

08:30 Gather and head to the Temple of Heaven.

Around 09:30, visit the Temple of Heaven, the world's most complete imperial architectural complex for worshiping heaven, where two generations of Qing Dynasty emperors offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven on the winter solstice and prayed for good harvests on the first day of the first lunar month.

The Temple of Heaven is China's largest and best-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty imperial architectural complex. It lies east of Beijing's central axis, symmetrically juxtaposed with the Altar of Agriculture. Its main buildings, including the Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, embody ancient China's reverence and worship for nature.

12:00 Lunch (meals not included, to be provided by the client)

Around 13:30, visit the [Prince Gong Mansion Garden], the residence of Heshen, a famous Qing Dynasty official. It was later awarded to Prince Gong Yixin by Empress Dowager Cixi and named [Prince Gong Mansion].

Divided into two parts, the Prince Gong Mansion and the Gardens, it is one of the best-preserved princely mansions in Beijing. Having witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, it carries a wealth of historical and cultural information, leading to the saying, "Prince Gong's Mansion holds half the history of the Qing Dynasty."

Around 3:00 PM, stroll through the Shichahai Scenic Area. Once the back garden of Qing Dynasty royalty, Shichahai still retains numerous palaces, gardens, and former residences of prominent figures. Enjoy breathtaking natural wonders, such as "Silver Ingot Mountain View" and "Lotus on Willow Bank," each boasting centuries of history. Here, you can fully experience the ambiance of the old Beijing hutongs and courtyards. As night falls, the surrounding bars burst into vibrant lights, offering a glimpse into the vibrant nightlife of Beijing.

17:00 The tour ends and you are returned to the hotel.
