4 Hour Beijing in a Nutshell City Tour

We improvise the sidecar tours with you. This 4-hour 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 4-hour tour is quite similar as the 2-hour tour but having more time to take longer, mainly including the following 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 Si – The oldest Buddhist Temple in Beijing (since 645)

• Tian An Men 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

• JInshan park (the Charcoal Hill), So we can have the view of the "sea of golden roofs" of the Forbidden City

• NanLuo Guxiang a "fancy hutong" that hosts new boutiques, cafes and restaurant

• Drum and Bell Tower one of the oldest monument in the city.

• Confucius Temple and Imperial Academy

• Ride along Houhai lakes.

Note: On the 4 hour, we make stops and visit sites such as the Confucius Temple or the Drum Tower, we can also get up the Park Hyatt tower, the roof terrace of the Hongqiao, and even on weekends stroll in the alleys of the colorful Panjiayuan flea market.

Once again: we can't do it all.
