Pick up from your hotel around 9:00am. First drive to Shichahai bar area. Shichahai area is a centraly preserved zone showcasing the life of old Beijing. It is comprised of three-lake area: Qian Hai Lake,
meaning Front Sea; Hou Hai Lake, meaning Back Sea and Xi Hai Lake, meaning Western Sea. Lots of bars are clustered in the Shichahai area or along the Shichahai Lakeshore. Then take a a boat cruising on the Shichahai Lake for 40 minutes. The local boat company uses the boats which are 7 meters in length and 1.7 meters in width. It is made in line with the old Chinese Traditional painting dating to the Song Dynasty 800 years ago. All the boats are paddled by the boatmen who wear in yellow vests and bamboo hats. You also have the chance to get a close view of the local peoples daily life on the banks while enjoying the sweet tune from the Chinese stringed and woodwind instruments played by the ladies on the bow of boats.
After the boat tour, take a pedicab to visit the most famous hutongs keeping the original layout. Then move on to Prince Gongs Mansion. It was once the private living place of He Shen, a favorite minister of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it was first constructed in 1777. In 1851, the mansion was offered to Prince Gong by Emperor Xianfeng (1851-1862), hence the name. Now it is the most well preserved mansion in Beijing. You have a typical Chinese lunch at an ordinary family courtyard home.
After lunch, you will go to Drum Tower dating from 1420, ascending the big drum tower and having birds eye view of the surrounding communities of hutongs and siheyuan. Whole day tour ends, you are returned to your hotel. |
