This group tour takes you to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City (Palace Museum) and the Treasure Gallery, Beijing's signature landmarks, with a professional guide. The operator handles ticket reservations and preparation, so you can join comfortably without worrying about sell-outs. Save time by entering Tiananmen Square through the operator's passage, while your guide brings 600 years of palace history and architecture to life. Choose the option that fits your schedule, including whether Tiananmen Square is included, departure time and English or Spanish guide.

Follow your guide around Tiananmen Square and the iconic buildings nearby for about 1 hour. You enter the square through the operator's passage, saving entry time. Then pass through the Meridian Gate, the main gate, to enter the Forbidden City.

Spend about 3 hours in the Forbidden City visiting major halls along the central axis, such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Preserving Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, Palace of Heavenly Purity and Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The route continues to the Six Eastern Palaces and the Imperial Garden, with clear commentary on the history and architecture of each site. Commentary can be heard through earphones (depending on the option).

The tour finishes at the Treasure Gallery. Admire exquisite imperial jade, porcelain and gold artifacts, then the tour ends at the North Gate of the Forbidden City.

The Tiananmen, Forbidden City & Treasure Gallery group tour takes about 4.5 hours and departs at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:30 AM from Laoshe Tea House (Qianmen branch). The Forbidden City & Treasure Gallery group tour (without Tiananmen Square) takes about 4 hours and departs at 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM from the Bank of China Dong'anmen branch. There are also options for a Tiananmen Square reservation only, or a Forbidden City ticket + guided entry for last-minute bookings.
※ If Tiananmen Square is closed without notice due to government events, it will be skipped; the Palace Museum visit is prioritized and Jingshan Park is visited as an alternative stop.
