Recommended Night Tour Route
Start with Qianmen Street, a well-preserved ancient commercial street featuring traditional Beijing architecture and lively night ambiance, perfect for strolling and taking vintage-style night photos.
Continue to the National Centre for the Performing Arts, also known as the “Giant Pearl”. Its glowing spherical dome reflects beautifully on the surrounding lake, creating one of Beijing’s most elegant and peaceful night views.
Next, explore Beijing CBD, the city’s modern business center. Admire dazzling neon skyscrapers and the unique CCTV headquarters building, showcasing Beijing’s prosperous and fashionable urban night scenery.
Then visit Shichahai (Houhai Lake) and Beijing Drum Tower (from outside), the most representative old-Beijing waterside and historic landmark areas. Shichahai consists of three connected lakes with winding ancient hutongs, laid-back local street vibes.
Standing tall in the historic district, the century-old Drum Tower features classic ancient architectural outlines. When night falls, the whole building is lit up warmly, blending perfectly with the surrounding hutongs and Shichahai’s water scenery, making it an ideal spot for night walks, cultural sightseeing and casual photography.
The final stop covers the iconic National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) and National Aquatics Center (Water Cube). As core landmark venues of the Beijing Olympic Games, the two buildings present stunning and distinctive night views after full lighting. Perfect for sightseeing and taking panoramic night photos.
Your professional driver will wait for you at every scenic spot throughout the tour, allowing you to explore and take photos at your own pace. If you choose the guided tour, the guide will be with you and explain related stories.
