My Short Experiences Explore Beijing
by Eufemio Martinez Cintron

The tour that I booked from this local travel agency was ideal with very comprehensive itinerary. Since we only have short time in Beijing then this 4 days Beijing group tour was really suitable for us. For me, a visit to Beijing surely should not miss 2 iconic sites, Great Wall and Forbidden City. So our tour should be included a visit to those attractions. Then finally we choose this tour complete with accommodation.

At the first day of our tour, driver picked us up at the exit gate of Beijing airport holding a sign name of me. Arrived on time and the service was really reliable. Although driver who picked us cannot speak English, but he was really helpful and looks friendly. Anyway, we reached hotel safely. On the second day, we did visit Great Wall. Not really special actually, but it was nice to personally have a close look to the magnificent and famous Great Wall of China. That was like a dream comes true.

Mutianyu Great Wall is a really recommended section for visit. Although it is takes longer to get there, the Mutianyu section is a lot less busy and offers spectacular views as it is located in the mountains. We took the cable car up, it was cold and there is plenty of walking to do on the wall itself. Once on the wall you can spend a few hours walking up and down this section, took some pictures and memorize the moments.

Next magical place is Forbidden City. Although during those 4 days, we did visit lots of cultural sites around such as Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven or Ming Tombs etc. But, Forbidden City still is my best! According UNESCO, Forbidden City has listed as one of World Heritage sites as the largest collection of ancient wooden structures in the world. With beautiful buildings, gardens, museums and palaces inside the city walls, so in fact, I should prepare more time for exploring. Such a pity! We did not have that much time!

Here, we could have a close look to its authentic architecture details which are so impressive. Although for mostly people the building inside Forbidden City looks quite similar, but for me there were just amazing and magical. For art lovers, really recommended for allow yourself a minimum of half a day to stroll around and soak in the fantastic royal culture and design around you. Take in the diverse architectural styles of different eras and admire centuries of incredible antiques and art works which will take your breath away.
