From Emperor to Commoner : A One-Day Beijing Tour

Our tour traces the lives of different social classes in old Beijing — from the emperor at the top, to a prince below him, and finally to the common people in the streets. Along the way, you'll see the most historic and authentic side of Beijing. Where did they live? What did their daily lives look like? And what troubles did they face?



By the end of the day, you'll have walked through the full social spectrum of old Beijing — from the throne to the streets — and experienced the city at its most genuine. This is an experience you won't find anywhere else.
