Discover Beijing’s Timeless Icons 🏯✨
Experience Beijing’s vibrant heartbeat by strolling through its iconic landmarks—Drum Tower, the legendary Tiananmen Square, and the bustling Wangfujing Street. This itinerary delivers a perfect mix of history, culture, and modern city vibes all in a single day!

Kick off at the Drum Tower (Di'anmenwai Street) at 9:30 AM, catching the mesmerizing drum performances and climbing all the way up for panoramic, insta-worthy views of Beijing’s ancient hutongs—try shooting from the upper balcony for the best skyline angle! Afterwards, walk south to Tiananmen Square (Chang'an Street): soak in its vastness, admire the Monument to the People's Heroes, and snap classic photos of the grand gates with morning light for clean backgrounds. Tiananmen Square opens early (5:00 AM), so if you’re an early riser, catch the flag-raising ceremony—truly moving!

For a taste of modern Beijing, stroll to Wangfujing (north side of Dongchang'an Street). This is foodie heaven, where you can try candied hawthorn or witness daring street snacks (scorpion skewers anyone?). Perfect spot for candid street shots with neon lights after dark—late evenings are lively!

Pro tips: Drum Tower’s stairs are steep—wear comfy shoes. Tiananmen Square requires security checks, so bring ID and pack lightly. Wangfujing gets crowded; watch your belongings and keep small cash handy for street bites. Avoid visiting on major national holidays to dodge crowds.
