Highlights

Enjoy a private Beijing day personally planned and hosted by Lao Wang, with time to explore, ask questions and enjoy the city at your own pace. You do not need to know Beijing or plan a route. Before your visit, Lao Wang learns about your interests, walking comfort and places already visited or booked, then recommends a complete itinerary. Leave the planning to him or help shape the day. Explore a mix of historic landmarks, gardens and neighborhood life chosen for you. Lao Wang connects what you see with Beijing's history and everyday life, leaving time for meals, breaks and details that catch your interest. He accompanies you from pickup to drop-off and helps with arrangements, restaurant choices and ordering. The itinerary below is an example. Choose this suggested route or agree on a different itinerary in advance, subject to opening hours and ticket availability.

About Beijing

Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.

At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
