Descriptions
【Overview of your tour】
Beijing is a city of history, emperors, and iconic landmarks. Yet beyond them, it is, above all, a city where millions of people live their everyday lives.
Rather than spending an entire day moving from one historic landmark to another, we’d rather take you on a journey through Beijing’s two totally different world.
From centuries-old imperial palaces to hutongs that have witnessed everyday life for thousands of years; from the stories of ancient dynasties to the flavors of today’s street food.
This is an immersive journey through every side of Beijing.
