Descriptions
【Overview of your Beijing tour】
Beijing is more than just a checklist of famous landmarks, it’s full of flavors, stories, and daily moments.
I believe a meaningful journey balances action and rest, history and real life. While exploring iconic sites, don’t forget to slow down, try local flavors, and enjoy how Beijingers unwind.
This tour blends sightseeing with authentic local experiences:
– Iconic site: Great Wall & Forbidden city & Hutongs at Shichahai Discover Beijing’s imperial grandeur at the Forbidden City & the Great Wall. Then dive into hidden Hutongs to truly explore its down-to-earth side.
– Delicious food: Peking Duck & Copper Hotpot & Street Food Enjoy the city’s local dishes at the top-rated restaurants — and hear the interesting stories behind them.
– Local relaxation: TCM foot massage After hiking Great Wall, unwind just like the locals do — with a relaxing foot massage based on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Trust me! This is nothing like the foot massages you’ve had before.
