What to expect
Temple of Heaven: The Temple of Heaven is one of the world's largest religious building complexes, enclosed by two layers of walls and divided into inner and outer坛 (altar) areas. The main buildings are in the inner altar, with the Circular Mound Altar in the south and the Prayer Hall Altar in the north. The two altars are on the same north-south axis, separated by a wall. The main buildings in the Circular Mound Altar include the Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, etc. The main buildings in the Prayer Hall Altar include the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Hall of Imperial Zenith, and the Prayer Hall Gate, etc.
Prince Gong's Mansion: Prince Gong's Mansion is located on Qianhai West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. It is one of the most well-preserved royal mansion complexes in China, divided into two parts: the residence and the garden, with the residence in the front and the garden in the back. The mansion covers an area of approximately 31,000 square meters and is divided into central, eastern, and western sections, consisting of multiple courtyard complexes connected by a strict axis. The residence is not only large but also built to a high standard, as evidenced by the gatehouse and the number of rooms.
Shichahai: Shichahai is located in the northwest corner of Beijing's inner city, including the three water areas of Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and adjacent areas. It echoes the "Former Three Seas" and is commonly known as the "Later Three Seas." The Hutongs and courtyards of Shichahai constitute the folk culture of old Beijing and the history of old Beijing. Along the winding riverbanks of Shichahai, irregular but densely woven network-like Hutongs have formed, built according to the terrain and naturally created.
Beihai Park: Beihai is located northwest of the Forbidden City in Beijing, bordering Jingshan to the east and Shichahai to the north. It is an imperial garden that was gradually built during the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. With a history of 900 years, it is one of the oldest, most complete, comprehensive, and representative royal gardens in China. Beihai, along with Zhonghai and Nanhai to its south, were important royal gardens within the ancient imperial city, collectively known as the West Garden at the time because they were located west of the Forbidden City.

Reviews
Tour was fun and tour guide was very knowledgeable. Wished there was more time for the tour as we ran a little short towards the end and did not have much time to explore the beihai park. Overall, would recommend this tour as tour guide was good and transport is provided between locations.
于导 took really good care of us during our trip to Temple of Heaven, Behai, Shichahai and Prince Gong’s Mansion , going through only the important spots in the limited time we had. Definitely one of the most knowledgeable guides I met this trip. Thank you!
the guide is very knowledgeable, she explained well in details with good flow. but not enough time for the beihai garden and shichahai which is quite a pity. those 2 locations barely stayed for half hour each. at least the other 2 are well explained
I don’t speak mandarin, so if you speak mandarin this trip is perfect! I got it because the Temple of Heaven tickets were sold out. even though I don’t speak mandarin, the tour guide was very helpful and tried to communicate with me. beautiful places visited!
tour guide is a ex professor. a very knowledgeable man. had fun listening to his many interesting history stories. highly recommended
Mr. Ding (Ding Song), our guide, has extensive experience and delivers engaging and entertaining explanations. His vast knowledge spans both official and unofficial history, making him a walking encyclopedia and a living history book. I greatly enhanced my knowledge of our country's history thanks to him. Furthermore, he skillfully handles various situations, provides meticulous arrangements, gives clear instructions, and proactively cares for the elders in my family. I'm grateful to Mr. Ding for his dedicated guidance throughout the day.
A family of three came to Beijing from Hong Kong for a trip. This time we took our daughter to the Temple of Heaven for a one-day tour. We thought that history would be boring, but we didn't expect to get a lot of rich history and interesting knowledge from the tour guide. We appreciated the tour guide's rich experience in leading groups, his humor, and his ability to enhance the curiosity and interest of the group members in the attractions/history. He did his best to do every work link and never slacked off throughout the whole process. We had a great time and highly recommend it to everyone!
For first-time visitors to Beijing, this day tour is quite convenient as it allows you to visit multiple places. Our guide, Mr. Ding, was very lively and engaging in his explanations. The only minor disappointment was the beef noodle soup at the recommended restaurant; it really wasn't good. Especially for tourists from Taiwan, the difference in quality would be quite noticeable. 😁
ding song is my guide. he is extremely knowledgeable. spent a great time to ensure we understand every bit of history behind building, gates. the timing of each location is ideal and allow ample time to explore and take photos.
Tour guide Li Ning (Da Ning) added WeChat before departure and clearly communicated the meeting time and location. Along the way, he entertained and explained things in a lively manner, allowing people to clearly understand the history and culture of the scenic spot! Prince Gong's Mansion was especially wonderful. Thank you so much! 😊
