About this activity
Your friendly guide and driver will pick you up from the hotel at 8:00 A.M. Start your day from Jingshan Park, a green space in the heart of Beijing. This area once served as an imperial garden during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. You have the opportunity of overlooking the whole of the Forbidden City from the top of the park.
Next, visit the famous Shichahai area on rickshaw to see the beautiful gardens, rockeries, ponds, elaborate pavilions and distinctive water features. Meanwhile you are able to explore the old streets of Beijing and traditional Beijing old houses around Hutongs by visiting a local family to gain insight into traditional customs.
Continue your tour to the Bell and Drum Towers, visibly prominent constructions that represent the symbol of this old city. Followed by a visit to the famous Olympic Center "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" where you can enjoy some photo moment and an exterior tour.
After your tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
