| AG-5 Tian An Men Square-Beihai Park-Lunch-Old City (Hutong) Tour 9:00-17:45 Price: USD 45/person |
| The Tian An Men Square is an enormous square facing the Gate of Heavenly Peace. It is the heart of modern Beijing. Beihai Park to the west of Prospect Hill is one of the most beautiful spots in Beijing. We strongly recommend the Hutong Tour, which is essentially a tour of residential areas. Some of the houses are hundreds of years old. It is the place where you can feel the local culture, tradition and the informality of ordinary life. To better feel that, you will take the tour on a special transportation tool -- the old style tricycle. |

| One-hour bus driving from BICC. To the Liulichang Antique Street, located in the downtown. |
