This morning after breakfast, we depart to visit the Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world. Located at the center of Beijing City, you can also see Tiananmen Tower, Monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, and Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. Thousands of people come to the Square every day. It is the must place to visit in Beijing City. Initially built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty (1368 A.D.- 1644 A.D.), the Square was the front door of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was the home of Chinese Emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 500 years.
The
Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer
Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The
northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family.
Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen
emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned
here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous
rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage
Site in 1987,
the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions
world-wide.
Lunch is also included and will be served at a local restaurant. After lunch, we will visit the Temple of Heaven, one of the finest examples of Ming Dynasty architecture in Beijing.
In the evening, OSSN members are the guest of honor at a special welcome banquet given by the China National Tourism Administration!

As a special treat, we will be invited to visit local families and we will also inspect some of the nice hotels in Beijing if time permits.
This evening, all attendees are treated to a special "Chinese Gong Fu Show!" The Gong fu Show will feature by the Tian Chuang Performing Art Company that is also owned by China Travel Service Group (Holdings) Hong Kong Limited, parent company of China Travel Service (USA), Inc.
