Description
If you are tired of overcrowded tourist spots and long for a quiet, authentic experience to truly understand a city’s evolution, this tour is tailor-made for you.

This exclusive tour cannot be found anywhere else on the platform.
⭐ Shougang Park
Our first stop is Shougang Park, which records Beijing’s industrial development and urban renewal. Much like Germany’s Ruhr District, this former heavy industrial zone kept its original workshops and steel facilities intact. The deserted factory area has been renewed into dramatic industrial-punk scenery and became an official competition venue for the Winter Olympics. Snap fantastic photos where retro industrial architecture meets modern Olympic construction.
⭐ Beijing Coloured Glaze Art Park
This is a well-kept local secret unknown to most city dwellers. Liuli, or traditional Chinese glaze craft, underpinned imperial architecture. The coloured roof tiles of the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven were all made using this ancient skill. Renovated from old workshops and original kilns, the park displays the full evolution of glaze craftsmanship. You can watch artisans create pieces by hand, unwind at quiet boutique cafés, and soak up peaceful local vibes away from tourist crowds.
