We had an absolutely perfect day with our tour guide - Rogin Luo - who took us for a hike along The Great Wall! Didn't know what to expect and were thrilled to have him as our guide. Very imformative, knowledgable and fun! We go to experience a part of The Great Wall that was unrestored and see all its natural beauty. Got a long history lesson along the way!

After the hike, we all went to lunch at a small place at the bottom of the hill. Located in a house, we ate lunch in the proprietors bedroom! What a hoot! Rogin is the Best of the Best! This tour company delivered for us and we are extremely grateful.

Beijing Map
Tour Description
Beijing central "axis" is interpreted as a royal line. The emperors in ancient China believed that they were the center of the world, so all of their palaces should be built on the axis or alongside the center from south to north of Beijing. As the core of old Beijing city, the Central Axis of Beijing also show us the ingenious urban planning in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as China today.

Tiananmen Square

Jingshan West Stree

Yandai Xiejie

Drum and Bell Towers

Bell Tower

Now the Central Axis of Beijing is on the tentative list for UNESCO cultural heritage, which was submitted in Sept 01, 2013 by National Commission of the People's Republic of China for UNESCO . The Central Axis of Beijing is 7.8km long from Yongdingmen Gate in the south and Bell Towert in the north. This 3-4 walking tour starts from Qianmen Street in the mid-axis instead of the southern tip of Yongdingmen Gate and ends at Drum and Bell Towers (3.5km).

We improvise the walking tour with you. The 3-4 hour walking tour may include the following tentative itinerary:

- Qianmen Street, the renovated old commercial street
- Tiananmen Square
- Nanchizi Street and Beichizi Street
- The photogenic Forbidden City Turret and Moat
- Walk alongside Jingshan Park
- Jingshan West Stree
- Dinganmen Inner Street
- Dinganmen Outer Street
- Shichahai (Houhai - Back Lake)
- Yandai Xiejie (one of the capital's oldest hutongs)
- Drum and Bell Towers
