Highlights
Enjoy a private one-hour Chinese calligraphy class in a Beijing hutong near Ciqikou Station. Your English-speaking instructor introduces the brush, ink, paper, basic strokes, and the meaning behind simple Chinese characters before guiding your group to write your own calligraphy piece. The class is beginner-friendly, calm, and hands-on, making it a good cultural break for families, students, and first-time visitors who want to understand Chinese writing through practice instead of a lecture. All practice materials are prepared at the activity location, so you can focus on the experience and take your finished work with you.

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).
