Beijing
Classic Beijing: Imperial Legacy & Hutong Life
4 days / 3 nightsBeijing6 reviews
Overview
Four focused days in one of the world's great capital cities. Beijing rewards slow attention — this tour is built for it. The itinerary moves between the epic (the Forbidden City, the Great Wall) and the intimate (a hutong alley at breakfast, a courtyard teahouse, a neighbourhood park at dusk). The city's five layers of history are all accessible within a few kilometres of each other; this tour connects them.
Tour Highlights
- Forbidden City — the full imperial axis at an unhurried pace
- Great Wall at Mutianyu — less crowded, genuinely spectacular
- Hutong bicycle tour with a local guide who grew up in one
- Temple of Heaven — ritual cosmology made visible in stone
- Drum Tower sunset and Shichahai lake evening walk
Day-by-Day Itinerary
