Who we are / The Our Beijing team

Good people. Great adventures.
A few excellent detours.

Meet the people behind the pedals, the mountain days, the local flavours and the “shall we see what’s down here?” moments.

Our story

It started with a city.
It grew into a way of exploring.

Dominic, from England, and Li Dong, from North-East China, co-founded Our Beijing after discovering just how much adventure this city holds. The mission was simple: share the places, people and everyday moments that made them want to keep exploring.

Today that spirit runs through our rides, hikes, food experiences and workshops—and through our adventures in Shanghai.
