Historical Sites and Culture
Simatai Great Wall
It would be a shame to visit a city with such a wealth of cultural heritage without going to the cultural relics Beijing has to offer. Because Beijing has so many of these sites, it may be impossible to visit all of them during your stay. Besides these relics, most visitors to China want to see and experience some real cultural heritage in the form of traditional activities, art, language, sports, etc. Below is a package tour for those visitors who want to see not only the cultural sites Beijing has to offer, but also want to experience the cultural activities that Beijing’s inhabitants take part in on a daily basis.
Because we try to stay devoted to economical tourism, even in a city as large as Beijing, we will keep our groups to a limited number of people. The largest group in a tour will not exceed ten people. Should you or your group have any specifications about group size or questions about our prices, feel free to contact us.
