This is a very well-received boat riding and walking tour, providing an opportunity to see a bit of everything in the capital, both historical sites and everyday life of Beijing.


Beijing Boat Tour Through gardens and Parks

Cruise along the imperial canal in a traditional style motorized canopy boat past Beijing Zoo, Beijing Aquarium and the Purple Bamboo Garden while appreciating the great views en route. We stop at the Purple Bamboo Garden to stroll around and meet up with a local sing-along group which is hidden in bamboo forests. Appreciate the passionate amateurs of the community singing.


Summer Palace walk

Then we continue our journey by boat heading directly into the Summer Palace,and change boat to cruise on the Kunming lake. Then we continue our tour with a guided walk (mounting on the hill or take a side walk around the hill) that ends at the North gate. And then we will drive back to CCC office. (Please note that we will not visit the palaces near the east gate, as they are packed most time of the year. )


For participants who don't want to tour the Summer Palace, you are welcome to leave the boat at the Purple Bamboo Garden near the west third ring road, or at the South gate of Summer Palace on your own.


Please bring your own picnic lunch.
