Visit an ancient altar venerating China’s legendary father of agriculture; explore colorful Lama Temple—a former imperial palace—and stop off to meet a few pandas, all in one day.

Travel to an altar built in 1420 AD to memorialize "the divine farmer," Shennong, an emperor from thousands of years ago who taught his people the art of agriculture. Visit the location where countless rulers and citizens prayed and gave thanks for good seasons. Inside is a museum documenting the rise of Chinese architecture and agriculture in ancient times.

Enjoy an included lunch before heading off to famous Lama Temple. Once the residence of a royal court, this vibrantly ornamented temple is one of the largest and most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the world. Built in 1694 AD, Lama Temple houses tranquil gardens, superb sculptures, and a veritable treasury of Buddhist art.

Acquaint yourself with living treasures as you make a final stop at Beijing Zoo. Seize this rare opportunity to see the endangered giant panda—China’s loveable national animal.
