Day Trips
Day Trips in and around Beijing
Great Wall
A unique experience during your stay in Beijing is a trip to the Great Wall!
Many parts of the Great Wall nowadays are mostly renovated and very touristy.
Instead we offer to take you to the Wild Wall.
Although you can easily book a day trip to the more touristy spots (like Badaling) yourself - most hotels can arrange this for you - for your convenience we still have included some of them in our program.
Summer Palace
A visit to Beijing is not complete without a trip to the Summer Palace!
But why join the masses, wouldn’t it be much nicer to make a very special entree into the Palace? We can take you there by boat via the Imperial Canal!
Explore the hutongs
Hutongs (胡同) are narrow streets or alleys which used to form the heart of Beijing and housed everyone who worked for the Emperor. A lot of these hutongs have been demolished (the character “拆”, pronounce as “chai”, is painted on the walls of houses that will be knocked down) to make place for modern real estate projects. Fortunately there is still quite a large area of hutongs left and Beijing Day Trips offers you a couple of different ways to explore them!
Olympic Green
As you know Beijing is the hosting city for the 2008 Olympic Games and during the past 7 years there has been a lot going on to prepare the city for this huge event.
The eye-catchers of the Olympic Green are the Bird’s Nest (the National Stadium) and the Water Cube (the National Aquatics Center) and Beijing Day Trips gives you the chance to see a glimpse of them!
Architectural Highlights
Apart from the Olympic Green, the main grounds for the Olympic Games, over the past years all kinds of buildings with different functions have been and are being built.
The day trip to the Architectural Highlights will take you on a tour around Beijing to see the most eye-catching buildings / construction sites.
Beijing Sidecar Tours
A popular mode of transport among expats who live in Beijing as well as some Chinese is the sidecar! How would you like it to see Beijing during the day or even by night aboard one of these unique sidecars?!
Beijing nightlife
Many people who visit Beijing are also looking for entertainment in the evening. Whether you want a relaxing foot massage after a long day climbing the Great Wall or dinner in a not so touristy restaurant or perhaps you want to explore the Beijing nightlife?! Beijing Day Trips again goes beyond the standard tours and can offer you all this and more!
