Things to do in Beijing

Beijing: The Imperial Capital

Beijing is the beating heart of Chinese history. For centuries, it has been the center of power, from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to the modern government today. Our Beijing Group Tours take you behind the red walls to explore a city that was once forbidden to the common man.

The Great Wall & Beyond

• The Great Wall (Mutianyu Section): We take you to the scenic Mutianyu section, which offers spectacular views with fewer crowds. You can even take a toboggan ride down from the wall!
• The Forbidden City: The world's largest palace complex. Walk through the Meridian Gate and explore the 9,999 rooms that once housed the Emperor and his concubines.
• The Summer Palace: A masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. Take a dragon boat ride across Kunming Lake and walk the Long Corridor.
• Hutong Tour: Hop on a rickshaw and explore the ancient narrow alleyways (Hutongs) to see how traditional Beijing families have lived for generations.
