Beijing is an enormous city of nearly 15 million people, with one of the oldest cultures on Earth. So it's no wonder this Beijing operator has divided the city's vast history into two tours.
This tour is the Historic Beijing II (Tour Two)
Tour Two of Historic Beijing begins at the Yonghe Lamasery and one of the best examples of the region's many sacred temples. Lama Temple reveals diverse architectural styles from Han, Mongolia, Manchuria and Tibet, and the impressive 60-foot Maitreya Buddha, carved form a single sandalwood tree.
Then it's on to one of the highpoints of anyone visiting Beijing, a trip to the zoo to see the frolicking Pandas, a living Chinese treasure. After a stop for lunch, you'll then visit the emperor's retreat, the historic Summer Palace. Used for eight centuries, the Empress Dowager Cixi had the estate renovated in the 19th century, including the manmade lake we see today.
Besides touring the ornate palace, you'll stroll through one of Beijing's favorite parks. During the day, we will also go on a shopping excursion to the White Peacock Silk Carpet Factory.
Historic Beijing II Tour Highlights:
- Lama Temple
- White Peacock Silk Carpet Factory
- Panda Garden at Beijing Zoo
- Lunch
- Summer Palace
We recommend you also take Tour One (Historic Beijing I), which is held on alternating days. Each is a complete tour and can be taken separately. Please make a separate booking for the Historic Beijing I (Product Code: 2042SIC_05).
