What To Expect

Bell and Drum Towers

Depart your central Beijing hotel by private, air-conditioned minivan with your guide. Stop to view the Bell and Drum Towers, and learn how they were used to announce the time — the bell in the morning and the drum by evening — during China’s Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Yandai Xie Street

Continue into the nearby hutong neighborhood and walk along Yandaixie Street, one of Beijing’s oldest lanes. Pass the imperial-style architecture and shops, and visit a family home for a traditional, home-cooked dinner.

Chat about daily family life here as you eat, and continue around the hutongs to see a courtyard house (siheyuan). Discover how these vintage homes are some of Beijing’s most expensive properties, and then discover the Back Lakes (Houhai), one of the city’s most popular night-time haunts.

1 hours • Admission Ticket Included

Back Lakes (Hou Hai)

Admire the beautiful lake and waterside bars as you learn how the area’s excellent feng shui attracted high-ranking court officials during the Ming and Qing eras. Then, follow in their footsteps with a 60-minute private lake rowing boat cruise. Savor tea and snacks, and relax as a musician serenades you with a guzheng (zither) or pipa (lute).
