Backstreet Beijing Walking & Sightseeing Tour - May 2026
If you have a half-day to spare in Beijing, this backstreet walking and sightseeing tour is the perfect way to uncover the city’s hidden gems. Begin at the historic Red Building of the old Peking University, birthplace of the influential 5.4 Movement, before strolling along the picturesque Wusi & Wenjin Streets—lined with culture and history.
Admire the striking corner tower of the Forbidden City and the scenic moat, then cross the bridge dividing Beihai Park and Zhongnanhai Lakes, ultimately arriving at the palatial Beijing Library. Marvel at its stone lions and pillars, relics from the Old Summer Palace, and explore the Northern Cathedral—a unique fusion of Chinese and Western design.
The tour’s finale takes you through authentic hutong alleys, past traditional courtyard houses, and finally back to your hotel by public transit. This trip’s standout feature is its off-the-beaten-path focus, revealing the stories and spirit of Beijing beyond the usual tourist trails.
