Day 1: Airport Pickup
 Upon your arrival in Beijing, our English-speaking tour guide will greet you and transport you to your hotel. This evening you will have the opportunity to rest up from your long journey to Beijing, or our tour guide can assist you with plans for the evening, maybe a stroll down Wangfujing’s night food street or bar-hopping at Houhai or Sanlitun?
Day 2: Hutong Rickshaw Tour - Kindergarten Visit - Tea with a Hutong Family - Drum and Bell Towers - The Forbidden City
 An early start to a day filled with Chinese culture both past and present. Your English-speaking tour guide will pick you up at your hotel at 8 a.m. by private vehicle for a morning rickshaw hutong tour of the ancient alleyways that Beijingers have called home for centuries. You will have the opportunity to visit the home of a local family for tea and a talk, as well as a local kindergarten.

We will have you back in Beijing in time for a traditional Chinese tea ceremony that will aptly demonstrate the place of importance that tea holds in Chinese culture. It is much more than just a drink, and the art and science of making a proper cup of Chinese tea as well as the accompanying elaborate ceremony is very impressive.

We will pick you up at your hotel for a visit to the Summer Palace, a beautiful former summer resort for China’s emperors (and an empress).
