What you can expect

Enjoy an authentic Beijing experience on a pedicab as you tour the hutongs (narrow streets and alleys) in the city's Shichahai neighborhood. Watch as culture come alive through the stone drums located in front of each gate, and observe the layout of traditional Beijing courtyards. You will even have the unique opportunity to meet a local family! With a local guide, visit a Beijing family to see how they live their daily lives. Interact with this family and form a connection between your cultures.

Then you will visit the Prince Gong's Mansion, which was the private home of He Shen, an important official during Emperor Qianlong's reign. During Emperor Xianfeng's reign, it was given to Prince Gong and is now the most well-preserved mansion in Beijing, attracting thousands of visitors each year!

After that, climb the Drum Tower, a historic symbol of Beijing built during the Yuan dynasty over 700 years ago, for beautiful panoramic views of the city.
