Explore three iconic Beijing landmarks in one day: hike Mutianyu Great Wall, wander the Summer Palace, and explore the historic Old Summer Palace.

What sets this experience apart is that it’s not just a tour — it’s a ride into a side of Beijing most visitors never get to see. You’ll explore the city the most authentic way possible: riding in a vintage sidecar through the narrow hutongs, passing iconic landmarks like the Drum Tower of Beijing and the vibrant Houhai. But the real highlight comes at the end. Instead of stopping at typical tourist markets, your journey finishes at a hidden local shop, known only through insider connections. No signs, no online listings — just a door that opens to something unexpected. Inside, you’ll find a selection of designer-style bags, watches, and clothing, with surprisingly high quality and attention to detail — the kind of place where many visitors say it’s hard to tell the difference. This is not your typical sidecar tour — it’s about access, discovery, and a side of Beijing few ever experience.
