Description

Discover the essence of Beijing on two wheels with this unique Central Axis e-bike tour, following the sacred line that has shaped the city for over seven centuries. Your adventure begins at the Temple of Heaven, where Ming and Qing emperors once prayed for good harvests. After a short briefing and e-bike safety check, set off northward along broad boulevards and quiet lanes. Glide past Qianmen Gate and into Tian’anmen Square, the political and cultural heart of China. Learn about its monumental architecture, including the Great Hall of the People and the National Museum of China. Continue your ride through the majestic Forbidden City area (outer perimeter), stopping for stories about the emperors who ruled from within its golden roofs. A short climb up Jingshan Park rewards you with the best panoramic view of Beijing’s Central Axis stretching both directions. After a refreshing local snack break, ride through the hutongs around Shichahai — narrow alleyways filled with traditional courtyard homes, local markets, and teahouses. The final stop is the Bell and Drum Towers, once the city’s ancient timekeepers, marking the northern end of the axis. Throughout the journey, your expert guide shares insights into how this sacred alignment expresses the philosophy of balance between heaven, earth, and humanity. It’s not just a bike ride — it’s a moving story of Beijing’s past and present, told through its streets, monuments, and people. Return to the starting point by vehicle or continue exploring on your own at the end of the tour.
