2 Hour Beijing in a Nutshell City Tour
Tour Description
We improvise the sidecar tours with you. This short sidecar trip gives you a first impression about the city, which enables you to decide where you want to spend more time during your stay in Beijing and learn a few travel tips from our knowlegeable insiders.
The 2 hour tour may include the ride following this tentative itinerary:
- Central Business district and its new innovating world famous buildings and the famous Reem Koolhaas's CCTV building
- Hutongs (traditional small alleys) in the South, authentic Beijing life!
- A very animated street market
- Fanyuan Temple– The oldest Buddhist Temple in Beijing (since 645)
- Tiananmen Square and the new Beijing Urbanism (old hutongs to be destroyed and new artifical ones)
- The New Beijing Opera, the "eggshell" by French Architect Paul Andreu
- Drum and Bell Tower one of the oldest monument in the city
- Confucius Temple and Imperial Academy
- Ride along Houhai lakes.
Once again: we can't do it all.
