Trip Summary
Chinese Culture, Adventure, At a Glance, Romantic
Experience Beijing's thriving sharing economy – and the city itself – first hand with this one-day cycling tour. We'll rent bikes using one of the city's many bike-share apps, such as Mobike and Ofo, and then head off into the hutongs to explore the area around the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, and Houhai Lake. Complete your local experience by traveling home on the subway.
Note that due to the limitations imposed by the bike-sharing app, this tour is only available for groups of a maximum of four people.
