Must-Try Day Trips for Adventurers

We’ve designed a range of day trips that highlight the best of Beijing’s culture, history, and natural beauty. Here are some of our top picks:

1. Hike the Wild Great Wall

Forget the crowded sections of the Great Wall! Our guided hikes take you to untouched, wild sections where the wall weaves through rolling hills and rugged terrain. These areas showcase the raw beauty of the wall, perfect for adventurers looking for peace, solitude, and stunning views.

  • Why it’s special: No tourist crowds, just you and the ancient stones of history.
  • Family-friendly options: Yes! We even offer hikes that parents can enjoy with their little ones.

2. eBike Through Beijing’s Hidden Hutongs

Hop on an eBike and glide through Beijing’s historic hutongs, the narrow alleyways that hold centuries of stories. Discover hidden temples, local markets, and authentic street food spots that tell the real story of Beijing’s past and present.

    • Visit a courtyard home and meet local residents.
    • Try your hand at making jianbing, a savory Chinese crepe.
    • Marvel at hidden temples tucked away in unassuming corners.

Just outside the city, Beijing boasts majestic mountains perfect for hikers, climbers, and nature lovers. Join us for an epic day hike to secluded trails, or bring the family for a picnic and an easy, stroller-friendly trek.

  • What to expect: Lush landscapes, ancient ruins, and panoramic views that will leave you in awe.

4. Cultural Immersion Workshops

Learn the art of mahjong, calligraphy, Chinese chess, or try your hand at cooking a classic Beijing dish. These workshops offer a hands-on way to understand local traditions and create memories to last a lifetime.

  • Why it’s unique: Engage with skilled locals who are passionate about sharing their culture.
