Itinerary
1. Then you will be driven towards to the Olympic park, you will take photos to the "bird's nest" and "water cube" from outside.
2. Tiananmen Square, located in the heart of Beijing, is one of the largest public squares in the world and a symbol of modern China. Covering about 44 hectares, it is surrounded by important landmarks such as the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Monument to the People’s Heroes. At its north end stands the Tiananmen Gate, which leads directly to the Forbidden City. The square is a historic site where major national events, parades, and flag-raising ceremonies take place, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Beijing’s political and cultural heritage.
3. Jianlou , also known as the Arrow Tower, is a prominent historical structure located at the southern end of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, just inside Zhengyangmen (Qianmen) Gate. Built during the Ming Dynasty in the early 15th century, Jianlou was an essential part of Beijing’s ancient city defense system. The tower was originally used as a military watchtower and had openings for archers—hence the name "Arrow Tower." Together with the gate tower of Zhengyangmen, it once formed a formidable inner defense for the imperial city, guarding the southern entrance of the old capital. Architecturally, Jianlou is a striking example of traditional Chinese fortress design, featuring thick grey brick walls, a massive base, and a grand wooden superstructure topped with green-glazed tile roofs. Today, though no longer used for defense, it stands as a symbol of Beijing’s historical legacy and a striking contrast to the modern buildings around Tiananmen Square.
4. You will walk to the Xianyukou shopping street. You have chance to taste many different kind of old Beijing street food and sweet snacks (pay extra) and if time permit, you can buy a typical Peking duck dinner before back to airport (pay extra). Later on, driving back to airport.
