What to expect

  • Tanzhe Temple: Depart in the morning and first head to Tanzhe Temple in Mentougou District, Beijing. Tanzhe Temple, founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, is Beijing’s oldest ancient temple, with the folk saying, “First there was Tanzhe Temple, then there was Beijing City.” During your visit, you can sequentially explore the central axis buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and the Vairochana Pavilion, experiencing the solemnity of Buddhist culture and the charm of ancient architecture. Be sure not to miss the temple’s thousand-year-old Emperor Tree, one of Tanzhe Temple’s iconic attractions.
  • Lugou Bridge (Marco Polo Bridge): After lunch, proceed to Lugou Bridge. Lugou Bridge is not only the oldest existing stone arch bridge in Beijing but also the starting point of the full-scale outbreak of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, holding significant historical importance. Strolling on Lugou Bridge, you can admire the various forms of stone lions and feel the vicissitudes and weight of history. At the same time, you might want to visit the Lugou Bridge Incident Memorial Hall to gain a deeper understanding of this period of history.
  • The entire itinerary is compact and well-organized, allowing you to appreciate both the tranquility and solemnity of a thousand-year-old temple and the profoundness of history and cultural heritage. The private tour service will provide you with an exclusive guide and vehicle, ensuring a comfortable and convenient visit.
  • If you require a French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, or Thai guide, customer service will contact you after booking to make up the price difference of approximately CNY 200-300.

Reviews

Review for: Private Chinese Tour

The driver and the guide were brilliant and attempted to offer alternatives when unexpected situations might upend the trip. The guide has a good command of time and provide good information whenever we chanced upon something without impacting my desired pace too much. Would gladly book again in the future.
