Your English - speaking guide will meet you at your Beijing hotel. If you've opted for public transportation, the guide will accompany you on the subway or in a taxi to reach the attractions(at your own cost). For those who have booked a private air - conditioned vehicle, simply follow the guide and enjoy a comfortable ride to the sites.​ First, visit the Lama Temple, once an imperial residence and now the largest, best - preserved lamasery in Beijing. It combines a Tibetan Buddhism museum and an active temple. Admire the Buddha Maitreya statue, carved from a single sandalwood log from Nepal, the world's largest wooden Buddha. The architecture here is a fascinating blend of Han and Tibetan styles, with each hall housing unique religious artifacts. The air is filled with the fragrance of burning incense, creating a truly immersive spiritual experience.​

Next, head to the Confucius Temple. This temple is dedicated to the great Chinese philosopher Confucius and serves as a symbol of traditional Chinese culture and education. It's a place where you can pay homage to Confucius and learn about his teachings that have influenced Chinese society for thousands of years. The temple complex is adorned with ancient steles inscribed with important historical and educational texts, and rows of cypress trees line the paths, exuding a solemn and serene atmosphere.
