Itinerary

1. Dongsi Hutong

Your personal English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up at your Beijing city hotel. After boarding your private vehicle, begin a 4-hour evening tour with an authentic Chinese dinner in the lively neighborhood of Hutong Street. Your guide will provide a detailed explanation about Hutong's history and culture before arriving at the restaurant of your choice.

Duration: 60 mins

2. LongFuSi Jie

A variety of cuisine options will be detailed including Sichuan spicy food; Shanxi cuisine with lamb or beef noodle soup; Guilin rice noodle soup and Muslim Cuisine with lamb kabobs and beef noodle. Whichever restaurant you choose, you will enjoy enough food to satisfy your palate which generally includes a side of rice or noodles.

3. Tiananmen Square

After dinner, you may continue your evening with a panoramic night tour of the city, where you can admire the iconic Beijing landmarks glowing beautifully against the night sky. Regarding the specific destinations of the night tour, you may discuss and decide with your guide based on your available time, real-time traffic conditions at that moment. For instance, if traffic is smooth and you have ample time, you might choose to drive past spots like Tiananmen Square (please note that entering Tiananmen Square requires a reservation made at least one day in advance; when booking, you need to provide each participant’s full name, passport number, gender, age, and nationality). If there is heavy traffic or time is limited, the guide can recommend other well-lit scenic spots or popular night-view areas in the city that are more easily accessible, ensuring you still have a pleasant night tour experience.

Duration: 30 mins

4. National Center for the Performing Arts

The tour will include a stop at the National Center for the Performing Arts specifically for taking photos — this iconic "Giant Egg" - shaped building shines brilliantly under the night sky, with its semi - transparent glass curtain wall reflecting the soft surrounding lights and the rippling water of the nearby lake, creating a dreamy and elegant atmosphere.

Duration: 20 mins

5. The Place

You will make a stop at The Place Mall specifically for taking photos—this commercial landmark is renowned for its stunning huge LED TV Screen that spans across the entire ceiling of its open-air atrium. When night falls, the LED screen lights up with vivid, dynamic visuals, ranging from twinkling starry skies to flowing natural landscapes, creating an immersive "sky" above your head. Standing on the ground floor, you can capture unique photos where the glowing screen blends with the mall’s modern architecture and bustling atmosphere, making for memorable shots that highlight this one-of-a-kind urban scene.

Duration: 20 mins

6. CCTV New Mansion

You will drive past the CCTV Building—familiarly known as "Big Pants" for its iconic, bold architectural design that stands out prominently in Beijing’s skyline. As you pass by, you can admire how its modern, twisting structure is illuminated by night lights, creating a striking visual contrast against the surrounding buildings. If you wish to stop and take photos of this distinctive landmark to capture its unique charm, simply let your tour guide know, and arrangements can be made based on on-site conditions.

7. Back Lakes (Hou Hai)

Next, you will stop at the Houhai Lake area—a beloved spot that blends Beijing’s traditional charm with relaxed nighttime vibes. Surrounded by well-preserved hutongs (narrow ancient alleyways) and traditional courtyard houses, the lake shimmers gently under streetlights and the glow of nearby cafes, bars, and small shops. Here, you can take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside path, soak in the cozy, laid-back atmosphere, and catch glimpses of local life and traditional architecture—all making it a perfect place to unwind and feel the unique night rhythm of old and new Beijing.

Duration: 20 mins

8. Bird's Nest National Stadium

Last, you will head north to Olympic Park to visit the world-famous Bird's Nest (National Stadium)—the iconic venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, known globally for its innovative lattice-like steel structure that resembles a bird’s woven nest. As night falls, the stadium is lit up by warm, soft lights, highlighting the grandeur and artistry of its unique design, making it a stunning sight against the dark sky. Please note that the Bird's Nest’s lights turn off at 21:30, so you’ll get to admire its illuminated beauty just in time to capture this landmark’s Olympic legacy under the night.

9. Water Cube

After you finish viewing the nearby Water Cube (National Aquatics Center)—with its translucent blue bubble-like exterior glowing softly at night, a perfect complement to the Bird's Nest—your tour guide and driver will then take you back to your hotel.
