Live like a local. Explore like a pro.
Looking for a day trip that takes you beyond the tourist spots and into the hidden adventures of local life in Beijing? This curated experience blends culture, adventure, and relaxation, letting you discover Beijing’s hidden gems. From savouring authentic dumplings to hiking stunning mountain trails and unwinding in soothing hot springs, this is the perfect way to explore like a pro and live like a local.
Start your day the way hardworking Beijingers do—with a traditional breakfast that hits the spot! Feast on freshly steamed dumplings, perfectly cooked eggs, and a steaming bowl of flavourful soup. This hearty meal isn’t just delicious; it’s the fuel you need for an adventurous day ahead. Plus, it’s a great introduction to local flavors and a side of Beijing life you won’t find in touristy cafes.
Getting there is half the fun! As we drive out of the city, the scenery shifts from bustling urban streets to peaceful countryside and winding mountain roads. The journey offers a peek into Beijing’s diverse landscapes. It’s also your chance to rest—especially if you’ve just arrived in the city. Whether you’re soaking in the views or taking a quick nap, this drive sets the stage for what’s to come.
Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in Beijing’s natural beauty on a hike through one of the city’s lesser-known mountain trails. These hidden paths offer stunning views and tranquil surroundings. If you have your furry friend in Beijing, they’re welcome to join! If you’re okay with pups, we often bring ours, who is always up for a hike. It’s a unique way to connect with nature and experience a quieter side of Beijing.
After a day of adventure, it’s time to unwind. On the way back to Beijing, we’ll stop at a serene hot spring retreat. Soak in mineral-rich tubs that promote relaxation and wellness, or detox in the sauna. You’ll feel your muscles relax and your mind clear as you enjoy this peaceful setting. To cap off the experience, dig into a comforting bowl of handmade noodles paired with refreshing drinks.
Want to keep the fun going? If you’re up for it, we can arrange a visit to one of Beijing’s local craft breweries or a hidden bar. It’s the perfect way to toast a day well spent and mingle with locals.
