Overview
Join us on a captivating journey through Beijing's heart, where hidden sites and rarely-told tales bring its most turbulent history to life.
Your exploration begins at the site of a once-famous ghost market—the Baoguo Temple. Here, you'll uncover the legends of how a grand imperial temple transformed into a shadowy hub of commerce and intrigue. Next, we came to Changchunyuan city garden that used to be center of Beijing's cultural hub . There, we'll immerse ourselves in the stories of the vigorous and revolutionary minds who provide a powerful window into a time when the nation struggled at its lowest point.
The journey then leads to Beijing's oldest temple, Fayuan Temple. Beyond its profound religious significance, this sacred ground has witnessed everything from the first sparks of revolution to the tragic ends of forgotten heroes.
We’ll conclude our tour by walking through an ancient residential compound, where ageing relics quietly house stories of lives that continue to evolve, even today.
