Embark on an enriching full-day sightseeing tour to experience two of Beijing's premier historic landmarks alongside iconic Chinese cultural treasures.

The tour then heads to the zoo to observe China's living treasure, the giant pandas, in their habitat.
Following a relaxing break for a Chinese-style lunch, the day proceeds to the historic Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed imperial retreat used by dynasties for centuries.
