Day-by-Day Itinerary

Forbidden City in Beijing
Day 1

Forbidden City, Jingshan and hutong evening

Make the Forbidden City the main visit if a reservation is available. Add Jingshan only if walking and timing allow, then choose a nearby hutong meal. Temple of Heaven is an alternative focus, not another required stop on the same day.
