Overview
Starting at a hidden temple at the edge of Nanluoguxiang, we’ll discuss the very practical nature of Chinese faith—why we pray to the God of Wealth and what money truly represents in our culture.
As we stroll toward the picturesque Yandai Xiejie (Tobacco Pipe Lane), we’ll dive into the fashion of the Qing Dynasty and the folk customs of old Beijing.
We’ll then take a break with stunning rooftop views of Shichahai from a local café before walking along the serene lakeside.
Our journey concludes at the memorial of Guo Shoujing, the brilliant scientist who connected Beijing to the Grand Canal, the lifeline of ancient China.
