Itinerary

  • Bell and Drum Towers

    Begin your bike tour at the historic Drum Tower, an architectural marvel that has stood tall for centuries. Marvel at its intricate design and learn about its significance in Beijing's history. Originally called the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou), the Drum Tower was constructed in 1272 during Kublai Khan's reign, marking the center of the Yuan capital, Dadu. Rebuilt in 1420 during the Ming dynasty under the Yongle Emperor and extensively renovated in 1800 by the Qing dynasty's Jiaqing Emperor, this landmark offers a unique glimpse into Beijing's rich cultural heritage.

    30 minutes

  • Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

    Ride through the iconic Tiananmen Square, one of the largest public squares in the world. Admire the illuminated grandeur of the square and its significant landmarks, including the Monument to the People's Heroes and the National Museum of China. Experience the cultural and historical significance of this renowned site in Beijing.

    30 minutes

  • Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Continue your journey to the majestic Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Glide past the imposing red walls and ornate gates, experiencing the mystical allure of this ancient imperial palace complex after dark. Located in the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is a grand palace complex that served as the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming to the Qing dynasties, spanning from 1420 to 1912. Now housing the Palace Museum, it was the residence of emperors and their families and the political and ceremonial center of the Chinese government for nearly 500 years.

    30 minutes

  • Jingshan Park

    Pedal onwards to Jingshan Park, located just north of the Forbidden City. Jingshan Park is a picturesque 23-hectare (57-acre) imperial park in the Imperial City area of Beijing. The park's central feature is an artificial hill called Jingshan, offering panoramic views of the city. Originally a private imperial garden connected to the Forbidden City, it opened to the public in 1928 and was officially established as a park in 1949. Managed by both Xicheng and Dongcheng districts, Jingshan Park is a Key State Park in the heart of downtown Beijing.

    30 minutes

  • Shicha Lake Park

    Ride through the charming lanes towards Shichahai Lake Park, a picturesque area surrounded by traditional courtyard homes and quaint teahouses. Take a moment to enjoy the serene ambiance of the lake and its beautifully lit surroundings. The name "Shichahai" means "the lake of ten temples," referring to the ten famous Taoist and Buddhist temples around the lakes, along with several royal mansions and gardens. Among the most well-known landmarks are the Prince Gong Mansion and the Prince Chun Mansion. Covering 147 hectares, Shichahai was once the bustling commercial hub of Beijing and is now a popular tourist destination. The area features tall trees lining the lake borders and offers boating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter. Located near the north gate of Beihai Park, Shichahai Lake Park is a must-see scenic spot in Beijing.

    30 minutes

  • Wangfujing Street

    Navigate your way to Wangfujing Street, a bustling commercial hub renowned for its vibrant night market and shopping district. Indulge in local street food delicacies and soak up the lively atmosphere of this famous area. Wangfujing is a well-known shopping street in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. Mostly pedestrianized, it has been a center of commercial activity since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, ten aristocratic estates and a princess residence were constructed here. The street was named Wangfujing after a well full of sweet water was discovered in the area. Wangfujing is also famous for its snack street, offering a wide variety of exotic foods to visitors, making it a must-see destination for food lovers and shoppers alike. From here, we will ride back to the Drum Tower, the tour will be finished then.

Beijing bike tour

Published on Oct, 2019

Excellent!!!!! Dean has a wealth of knowledge and the tour was just what we wanted. I’d highly recommend this tour

A different side to Beijing

Published on Jul, 2019

The tour providers were very responsive and it was easy to arrange the tour at short notice. My guide, Dean, spoke very good English and was incredibly knowledgeable, including lots of fascinating anecdotes and details about Chinese culture and history throughout. The tour was timed to perfection: you catch beautiful golden hour cycling through Beijing's lovely parks and see the major sites lit up in the early evening. I highly recommend the tour for that reason; Beijing has a completely different character at night which should not be missed! The cycling itself was comfortable enough- Dean set me up in an appropriate bike and it felt safe cycling all around central Beijing.

Beijing’s best.

Published on May, 2019

For the experienced cyclist the local Mobikes are less than your carbon dreams. Despite that this three hour tour was fantastic and Dean was a most knowledgeable and thoughtful guide getting us around safely and easily. He even booked us on his own Uber to get us back to our hotel when we finished. We actually found cycling around Beijing much safer than Melbourne. Getting around any city on a bike is a fantastic way to get your bearings and really get a taste for local life. Highly recommended.

Beijing by bike is a great experience

Published on May, 2019

Dean was our very engaging, flexible and capable guide for our bike tour for our final night in Beijing. Beijing by bike is exhilarating and it is a great way to see the city. Dean met us just before sunset between the Drum and Bell Towers. He introduced himself and got us adjusted on our bikes for the evening (for the tours, he used a combination of Ofo and BlueGogo the night we were on the tour). While this tour hits many of the same sites you'll hit on any and every Beijing tour, seeing them via bike, in the evening and through the stories Dean tells is a combination that's hard to beat!
