Explore Beijing with Ecoturismo in Mind: Hop on a Bike!

Looking for the most sustainable, local, and immersive way to explore Beijing? Hop on an eBike and experience the city the ecoturismo way — low-impact, full of culture, and connected to the real rhythm of the streets.If you’re dreaming of discovering Beijing while staying true to your ecoturismo values, we’ve got good news: you don’t have to choose between exploration and sustainability. The best way to see the city—responsibly, meaningfully, and memorably—is on two wheels.

At Our Beijing, we believe ecoturismo isn’t just about going green—it’s about traveling with respect. Respect for the environment, for the people who live here, and for the rhythm of the city. And when you hop on a bike, you plug directly into that rhythm.


Why Biking Is the Ultimate Ecoturismo Tool

Choosing a bike over a car or bus isn’t just about convenience—it’s a conscious decision to reduce your footprint and deepen your connection with the places you visit.

  • Zero emissions: eBikes produce no noise, no fumes, and no stress for the planet.
  • Low-impact travel: You glide through neighborhoods, not overrun them.
  • Freedom to engage: Stop to support a local vendor, chat with a resident, or admire a mural.

Whether you’re riding past willow-lined rivers or through historic hutongs, you’re part of the landscape—not a disturbance to it.


See the City, Not Just the Sights

Ecoturismo encourages us to look beyond the bucket list. Sure, you’ll see the Forbidden City and the CBD skyline—but you’ll also ride through everyday Beijing: families playing badminton in parks, noodle shops steaming at dusk, elders watering plants outside their homes.

This kind of exploration builds empathy. You’re not just taking photos—you’re having conversations, supporting small businesses, and leaving only tire tracks behind.


Our Beijing’s Commitment to Responsible Travel

As locals, we’ve spent years designing bike routes that showcase the city’s beauty while preserving its integrity. Our groups are small, our pace is gentle, and our goal is to leave communities better than we found them.

We stop at local eateries, not chains. We visit artists and craftspeople, not souvenir stands. And we build every tour around the question: “Would we want this in our own neighborhood?”


From Hidden Alleys to Green Pathways

One of the best things about exploring Beijing by bike is how it reveals the city’s green side. Ride through riverside parks, duck into shaded alleyways, or cruise along newly-built bike lanes lined with trees and art installations.

On a single ride, you might pass a Taoist temple, a hipster café, a rooftop garden, and a lotus-filled lake. It’s a slow-travel dream powered by pedal—or throttle.
