We just got back from an incredible day exploring Beijing, and I have to share how amazing it was! Our adventure started at Tiananmen Square, where we were instantly struck by its vastness. Standing there, listening to our guide Frank share insights about the significant events that took place, made us feel the weight of history. His passion really brought the square to life for us.

Next, we moved on to the Forbidden City, and it was truly something special! As soon as we entered, we were in awe of the stunning architecture. Frank guided us through the courtyards and halls, telling us fascinating stories about the emperors who lived there. We couldn’t help but feel like we were part of a royal story ourselves! It was definitely the part of the day that left the deepest impression on us—so rich in culture and history.

After that, we visited the Temple of Heaven, where we strolled through the beautiful gardens. It was refreshing to see locals practicing tai chi and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Frank pointed out some interesting details about the temple’s architecture, which added to the experience.

Finally, we ended our day at the Summer Palace. The views over the lake were breathtaking, and we loved wandering the paths and taking photos. Frank made sure we had plenty of time to explore and even suggested some great snacks to try from local vendors. His attentiveness and knowledge truly enhanced our experience.

All in all, our day was packed with unforgettable moments and new discoveries. Thanks to Frank and his excellent service, we left Beijing with a newfound appreciation for its history, especially after our time in the Forbidden City. We can’t wait to share our stories with everyone when we get home!
