Hey guys, this was my first time visit Beijing, the capital city of China. My first time in Beijing with my family comes to China and I was very happy to have a nice and memorable trip in Beijing. What the most favorite thing we had in Beijing? For me, join a local trip in Beijing is an ideal choice. We did not only get impressive experience but also great service from each tour guide guided us during that time.

Autumn on Mutianyu Great Wall

From Shanghai, we got a flight ticket to Beijing then arrived at Beijing, we did see the tour staff who already waiting for us right at the exit gate of the airport. At that time, from the early morning, we did start our trip. A short excursion to the Great Wall surely was unforgettable and interesting. We did take a cable car ride to above on Mutianyu. For save energy and time, took the cable car was a nice option. Our guide gave us only 2 hours time to hike on Mutianyu. The view around Mutianyu was stunning and impressive. I could not believe how the ancient people of China could think about built this feature of Wall.

Large Courtyard of Forbidden City

Not only Great Wall, the highlight of our trip in Beijing from Shanghai I think when we were in Forbidden City. It was used as the living and administrative area of emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. As one of the World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO, Forbidden City offers a breathtaking ancient architectural style. From our guide, we could know that the palace was separated into two big parts of that including Inner Court and Outer Court. During the trip, our guide brought us to explore numerous important halls and buildings which hidden lots of stories and histories behind it. All of them were seriously impressive and had a remarkable historical importance for China.

Not only visited both of those famous places in Beijing, there we also could have a short visit to the large Tiananmen Square, learnt lot about sacrificial altar of Temple of Heaven, etc. From this tour, we got much from what I can imagined before, experience more than I thought, and saw lots of new things about China. Thank you for such an organized trip from Shanghai to Beijing which was really accommodating and priceless.
