Description:

Visit Beijing’s historic sites and see giant pandas on this full-day tour. Marvel at the diverse architectural beauty of Yonghe Lamasery Temple, a sacred Buddhist site, explore giant pandas at Beijing Zoo, and explore the majestic Summer Palace.

Be picked up from your hotel and take a break as you head to the sacred Yonghe Temple. Upon arrival, wonder at the exquisite structural design of the temple and, once inside, pass by the 85-foot (26-m) tall statue of Maitreya Buddha, which was carved from a single piece of white sandalwood.

Next, visit Beijing Zoo’s Panda Hall for a memorable encounter with the rare giant pandas. Watch as these marvelous creatures roam, interact, and play with each other in a setting that replicates their rainforest environment.

Break for a delicious Chinese lunch before visiting an ancient altar dedicated to a renowned Chinese emperor. Walk into a museum that documents China's agricultural past and present. After a full day of exploration, your driver takes you back to your hotel in comfort.
