Overview

For most first-time visitors, Beijing’s famous landmarks are naturally the top priority — and for good reason. They represent the most iconic chapters of China’s long history.But have you ever wondered how people spend their nights in a city with such an ancient past? Beyond the crowded streets and historic palaces of the daytime, Beijing reveals a completely different side after dark.Through this experience, we hope to take you into Beijing’s underground scene and explore another rhythm of the city. During the day, you will still visit essential historical sites such as the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, the Summer Palace, and the Temple of Heaven. But at night, we will quietly slip into hidden hutongs, rooftop spaces, former factories, and even temple venues to discover creative and forward-thinking scenes set within uniquely Beijing-style architecture.(The exact venues and activities will be arranged based on your interests and venue availability, so please communicate your preferences with us in advance.)We hope that when you think back on Beijing, you won’t only remember its ancient history — you’ll also remember how unbelievably cool the city feels today.
