Description

Select between two tailored tour packages: a private night tour with dedicated driver and vehicle, or an enhanced private tour including both a driver and professional English-speaking guide. Embark on an unforgettable evening exploration starting at Qianmen Street. Stroll through the bustling local snack alley, where you may sample authentic Beijing street food at your own leisure (food and drinks are at your own expense). Your journey continues to the Forbidden City Watchtower. Once built as a defensive lookout for the imperial palace, this beautifully illuminated landmark showcases classical Chinese imperial architecture. Next, travel to Jingshan Park. Perched on this elevated viewpoint, enjoy sweeping panoramic vistas along Beijing’s historic Central Axis. Witness the striking contrast between ancient imperial landmarks and the glittering lit skyline of the modern CBD. The tour then proceeds to Beihai Park, a serene imperial garden dating back over 1,000 years. Its most treasured attraction is the Nine-Dragon Wall, one of only three surviving such stone screens across China. Wander the timeless hutong districts of Houhai and Shichahai. This laid-back lakeside neighbourhood is dotted with traditional courtyard homes, cosy bars and old alleyways that capture the soul of old Beijing. Conclude your private excursion at Olympic Park. Capture memorable photos of the brilliantly lit Bird’s Nest and Water Cube, iconic venues built for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. After your sightseeing adventure, we will transfer you back to your hotel within central Beijing.
