Day 2: Beijing

Having been the power seat of the Ming and Qing dynasties for over 500 years, the Forbidden City in Beijing provides a supreme model for traditional Chinese architecture and insight into the feudal ritual and court culture.

Combining natural landscapes and artificial buildings harmoniously, the Summer Palace is full of magnificence and natural interest and displays Chinese traditional aesthetic value perfectly.

Today, after visiting Tian'anmen Square you will discover these two UNSECO-listed world heritages. In the Forbidden City, in addition to the three main buildings on the central axis, your tour guide will also lead you to do some more in-depth exploration.

Day 3: Beijing

The Temple of Heaven once served as the communication bridge between the emperor and Heaven in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its architecture, whether on the overall layout or a single building, embodies the theory of the Harmony between humans and Nature and the theory of the imperial power coffered by the god.

Built for more than 2,000 years and spanning over 20,000 kilometers, the Great Wall is a grand military project to most feudal dynasties in the central plains and the artificial watershed between agricultural civilization and the nomadic civilization of China. What's more, it provides very magnificent landscapes.

Your today's tour will focus on these two heritage sites. Besides the dignified buildings, at the Temple of Heaven, you may also see many locals enjoying their retired time: playing Tai Chi or diabolo, practicing calligraphy on the ground with a huge bush, singing, or dance in folk styles.

At the Great Wall, Mutianyu section, you will take the cable car up and then hike a little more to enjoy the magnificent surrounding landscapes.

Second Honeymoon My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary by spending a few weeks touring around Asia. We loved how Odynovo worked with us to craft a tour of what we wanted to see and how we wanted to see it. This was our first time traveling with a private tour guide, and it was truly amazing. they took care of all transportation, tickets, and everywhere we went we had someone who not only spoke our language, but was also very well-versed in the places we were visiting. We saw Beijing and then took a bullet train to Xi'an. In both cities we had tour guides who had done this "a thousand times," and as a result knew all the tricks on where to take the best pictures, what lines to stand in, where to eat, and what not to waste your time seeing. At one point our guide pulled out ponchos from her backpack when it started to rain, while another helped us haggle for a good price on a new suitcase. We were surprised by how much we loved China, and it is safe to say that is because of the quality of service we got from Odynovo. Oh, and the hotels were great, too! In our first hotel my wife fell in love with her breakfast soup that she had to have every morning, while in Xi'an we were right around the corner from the Muslim Night Market and were able to get to it in less than 5 minutes of walking.We are already looking to see what tours we will be doing next through Odynovo, as the service was amazing, the quality was remarkable, and the cost was very worth it for what we received.

Fabulous! We had a fabulous experience with our guide and Odynovo walking the Great Wall of China, and all other sites in Beijing. We loved our Peking duck dinner. It was fabulous. Thank you, Sammie/Jing for a great experience.

Amazing travel experience My name is Zarah M. Babangida a Nigerian and i visited Beijing with my colleagues from the office. During our 5 day stay in Beijing, Ms. Eva Ma, was our Tour guide and from the minute we came through the Arrival Gate of the Airport, we were embraced by her alluring smile and warm welcome. She remained consistent with her warmth, a kind and intelligent professional who exuded unique passion not just for her job as a tour guide but, even more so as a proud Chinese woman. Her outstanding insight and knowledge of the sweet Chinese history and heritage left us in awe. I couldn't be more proud and thankful that she was assigned to our group and she made our stay exciting, fun-filled effortless and knowledge packed. I absolutely commend her dedication to work which she depicted throughout our stay. I recommend her to every visiting tourist because to know Eva, is to love her. If it were up to me, i will increase her bonuses or upgrade her salary as i am sure most tourists would want or revisit for her sake first and then perhaps other reasons.Thank you Eva and keep the passion up🙌.
