• Beijing - Immerse yourself in the heart of Beijing with this custom private tour, an ideal introduction to a capital where ancient heritage meets modern vibrancy—all centered on the Beijing Middle Axis (known as the “Dragon Line”). This curated experience takes you through iconic landmarks, hidden hutongs, and local delicacies. Discover Beijing’s essence through its history, cuisine, and culture—flexible for morning departures, and led by locals who truly know this city.
  Your journey starts right at your hotel lobby, where you will meet our guide. We offer two adaptable packages to meet your preferences:
  Value Option: You handle transportation costs, and our guide will navigate via taxi or subway—perfect for those wanting to experience Beijing’s daily commute like a local.

Comfort Option: Enjoy door-to-door service with a private car, including hotel pick-up and drop-off at the tour’s conclusion, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

• Jingshan Park (Jingshan Gongyuan) - Your adventure centers on the Beijing Middle Axis—the spiritual and geographical core of the capital. We’ll guide you to its most fascinating spots, where each site narrates a story of dynastic splendor and everyday life.
  Coal Hill Park: Begin with a climb to its peak, where the morning light casts a warm glow over the Forbidden City’s golden rooftops. Relish an unparalleled panoramic view of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and let our guide explain how this former imperial garden connects to the axis’s ancient design.
• Shichahai Scenic Resort - Shichahai Lake: Stroll along the shores of this trio of interconnected lakes, where willow trees dip into tranquil waters and traditional courtyard homes (siheyuan) line the banks. Here, you’ll experience Beijing’s relaxed charm: observe locals flying kites, chatting over tea in lakeside pavilions, or taking a leisurely walk—regardless of the time, the lake’s atmosphere remains warm and welcoming.
  Nearby Hutongs: From Di’anmen Street, step off the main path into quiet hutongs (narrow alleys) that wind like hidden threads through the city. These lanes reveal Beijing’s true character: red-lacquered doors with brass knockers, courtyard homes (siheyuan) with potted flowers on their steps, and small stalls selling local crafts. Whether wandering in the afternoon sun or under the soft glow of alley lights, you’ll see locals going about their days—playing chess on stone tables, hanging laundry on bamboo poles, or chatting with neighbors—and gain insight into life as Beijingers live it.
• Di’anmen - Di’anmen Street: This lively stretch along the Middle Axis is a treasure trove of local life and flavor. Lined with both traditional shops and cozy eateries, it’s where “old Beijing” charm meets everyday hustle: you’ll pass stores selling handcrafted paper-cuts, traditional silk fabrics, and vintage-style snacks, plus beloved spots like Huguosi Snacks—a local institution serving up a variety of Beijing’s classic flavors. As you walk, your guide will stop at carefully selected spots along the way: savor a warm bowl of miancha (creamy grain porridge) topped with sesame and nuts, enjoy a flaky youbing (savory pancake) filled with pickled vegetables, or try aiwowo (chewy glutinous rice cakes) filled with sweet red bean paste—each bite a taste of Beijing’s street food heritage. They’ll also share stories about how these dishes have been passed down through generations, making every snack feel like a piece of the city’s history.
• Bell and Drum Towers - Beijing Drum and Bell Towers: Conclude the axis exploration at these towering relics of imperial China. Once the “timekeepers” of the capital, their ancient wooden structures stand tall against the sky. Our guide will share tales of how drumbeats and bell chimes once marked the passage of time for millions, linking the past to your present experience—whether you’re visiting as the towers catch the afternoon sun or are softly illuminated at night.
• Nanluoguxiang - What sets this tour apart is our team of guides—each with over 10 years of experience and a deep love for Beijing. They’re not just tour leaders; they’re storytellers who turn landmarks into living history, and adapt seamlessly to your chosen departure time:
  They’ll unpack the Middle Axis’s significance, explaining how it shaped Beijing’s layout from the Ming and Qing dynasties to today, with insights tailored to the hour (like pointing out how the Forbidden City’s light shifts at dusk, or sharing how hutongs feel different in the evening).
  They’ll handle practical needs too—from arranging tickets to key sites (like the Forbidden City) to sharing tips on beating crowds, ensuring a smooth, relaxed journey no matter when you go.
  Most importantly, they’ll keep the experience engaging: no dry facts, just vivid anecdotes about the people, events, and traditions that make Beijing unique, plus personalized recommendations for how to extend your day (or night) afterward.
• Yandaixie Street - The tour concludes at the Drum Tower, leaving you perfectly positioned to continue your Beijing adventure—whether you want to explore more hutongs, try another local eatery, or soak in the city’s vibe at your own pace, with tips from your guide. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of Beijing—its rich history, its delicious flavors, and its quiet, everyday charm.
