Beijing is one of those cities where emperors’ dynasties meet today’s world and provide travelers with the original blend of history, culture, and memories. With too many world-famous sites to see, a Beijing English Speaking Tour Guide ensures you are able to go to not only the location but also familiarize yourself with its past and how it has been developed. Regardless of whether you are driving for a few hours or more, our staff at Beijing Private Driver will be more than happy to help you maximize your trip. The Top 5 Places listed below are where you can travel with us.

1. The Great Wall (Mutianyu & Jinshanling)

No visit to Beijing is ever fulfilled without a visit to the Wall. Of its many sections, however, the Mutianyu is the most touristy and amenity-filled section with cable cars and toboggans to assist the hike for all ages. The green scenery is just as colorful and changes from the season to season – from peach blossoms in spring to golden leaves in autumn.

For adventure fans, Jinshanling gives a more robust and beautiful wall stretch. It is known for its wonderful views and low crowds, providing an authentic experience of this world’s surprise. With the Beijing English Speaking Tour Guide, you will not only enjoy the climb, but will also learn attractive insights into the military significance and history of the wall.

2. Forbidden City

Forbidden Palace or Palace Museum is among the pearls of Beijing. It was a home to the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties including royal architecture, peaceful courtyards and royal halls. Tickets are limited to 80,000 per day, and booking can be difficult to secure without the help of the locals.

Beijing Layover Tour Driver will also spare you valuable time by arranging transport and escorting you through your entry trouble-free. Having a guide take you through the UNESCO World Heritage site in great detail provides it with context like nothing else, as you will be learning about emperors, imperial life, and dynastic rule.

3. Temple of Heaven

Both for its religious importance and picturesque Ming buildings, the Temple of Heaven is a crowd favorite. The emperors once prayed here for good harvests. Visitors like to do the same these days just as much to walk about, play Tai Chi, play chess, or jam in the park.

A visit here is both cultural and leisurely. With a Beijing English Speaking Tour Guide, you’ll gain an appreciation for the temple’s design and its significance in Chinese cosmology, where heaven and earth meet.

4. Summer Palace

Summer Palace is a concentration of Chinese garden design, a haven of peace in a sea of city strife. At its core stands Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, the summer residence of the imperial family. You can stroll along covered walkways, promenade on stone bridges, and stroll through sumptuously decorated pavilions.

Our guides will also discuss the symbolism of the inner palace layout and how it was imperial China’s “garden of gardens.” A pleasant ride with a Beijing Layover Tour Driver makes the best of your time on this vast UNESCO site.

5. Lama Temple

It is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist temples in Beijing, it is also known as Yonghe Temple. It is the most famous for a huge Maitreya Buddha statue made by a sandy tree, and it is still a worship temple.

See the temple’s religious significance and its architecture, a blending of Han Chinese and Tibetan styles with the aid of an expert from your town. A quiet but intriguing stop to add to your trip to Beijing
