Gather at the designated meeting point at 09:00. At 10:00, begin your tour at Prince Kung’s Mansion, the largest royal mansion of the Qing Dynasty. Originally the lavish residence of the notorious official Heshen and later Prince Qing, it eventually took its name from Prince Kung. Spanning the era from the Qing's peak to its decline, it is often said that "one Prince Kung’s Mansion tells half the history of the Qing Dynasty."

After a self-arranged lunch (** × **), spend your afternoon (13:30–16:00) at the Beijing Zoo. With a history of over 100 years dating back to the reign of Emperor Guangxu, it is one of China's oldest and most diverse urban zoos. The zoo is home to precious species native to China, including the Giant Panda, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, and Siberian Tiger. You can also see representative animals from around the world, such as African chimpanzees, Australian kangaroos, and American jaguars.

At 16:00, head to Sanlitun for free time. As Beijing's premier landmark for fashion and lifestyle, Sanlitun is the heart of the city's youth culture and nightlife. Explore its famous bar street, trendy shopping malls, and flagship designer stores that define the cutting edge of Beijing style. At 20:00, gather for your transfer back to the designated location for dismissal.
