Description

Meet your English-speaking guide at the meeting point or in your hotel's lobby (for private tour option) and begin your journey under the cover of darkness. Make your way to Qianmen street, which was one of the busiest streets in Beijing during the Ming and Qing dynasties and displays the traditional characteristics of local architecture and merchant culture. Because of its grandeur and unique design, Qianmen Street has long been seen as a symbol of old Beijing. It has also been a commercial center for nearly seven centuries. Qianmen Snack Street has a selection of exotic food on the Snack Street as well as lots of mouth-watering common foods, such as Chuanr (meat kebabs, commonly made of lamb) and desserts like Tanghulu and candied fruits. This is the best place to sample local street food and snacks as well as souvenir shopping. After walking around this old street, just cross Zhengyang Gate, you will get to Tian'anmen Square, one of the largest civilian squares in the world. The Tian'anmen Rostrum is the majestic structure that sits at the northern end of the square, facing south. Its stature and positioning represent authority and power. As you stand in the heart of this vast square surrounded by majestic monuments and buildings, you'll feel the weight of history bearing down on you. Watching the flag lower against the setting sun is truly a mesmerizing sight that will stay with you long after your visit. After admiring the Square, jump out from 'the past,' walking to the National Theatre. It is an ellipsoid dome of titanium and glass surrounded by an artificial lake. The best time to see the theatre is when it lights up at night. Walk along the Chang'an Street to the lively Wangfujing Street. Continue to the lively Wangfujing Street. The Wangfujing street is the best place to shop for Chinese souvenirs and authentic Chinese products. There are over three hundred famous Chinese brand shops. After that, if you wish to find a place for a drink and relax, your guide will help you find a taxi to the night bars, or head back to your hotel from there.
