Beijing Off The Beaten Path Tips by ahoerner

Hutong tour... Hutongs Review

Great experience... you get to know how the chinese really live in their hutongs...

Highly interesting, but arrange a price before starting.

Beijing city walls

In the southern part of the city the unaware tourist may find also interesting the remains of the old city walls of Beijing, which were demolished during the Cultural Revoltion in China.

A nice park lies along the walls, where people gather to walk, talk or even just be there.

Beijing Train Station

Another nice surprise when you arrive in Beijing by train is the beautiful building of the Central Train Station.

Marble Boat at the Summer Palace

If you are tired after hours walking, climbing stairs and visiting temples, you might miss this huge marble boat.

Impressive construction...
