Beijing is a city that’s both modern and traditional, forward-looking and connected to its past, and in our opinion, one of the best ways to experience it all is by bike! Ride along the Forbidden City moat and through the parks nearby and visit a very well preserved Hutong family home.
This Beijing bike tour winds through the Hutongs, narrow alleyways and backstreets around the Forbidden City home to many of Beijing's residents as well as shops, markets, temples, and historic buildings. Experience up close this traditional neighborhood as it slowly disappears and the developers move in. Visit a local community organization and enjoy a simple, yet tasty Chinese lunch in a hutong house. You'll get the chance to learn about Hutong culture and support their efforts to protect their community, all while making new friends! Hop back onto your bikes and continue through the hutongs until you are back at the drum tower, then hop on the public bus for a 15-minute ride back to the bike rental place, as your guide points out more of the city’s historic landmarks and top foodie joints.
To take your experience to the next level you can choose to have a private guide, just for you and your group! Simply select the option you prefer at checkout.
