How it worksEvery guide in Beijing is employed by Locals China. No partner agencies.
Get in touch with the guide to create an itinerary that is the perfect fit and uniquely yours.
Customize your tourBeijing is where China's imperial story is still standing: the Forbidden City at the centre, the Temple of Heaven to the south, the Summer Palace to the north-west, and the Great Wall curling over the mountains an hour's drive away. Between them run the hutongs, the grey-brick lanes where Beijingers still play chess under the trees. A private tour with a local guide gets you into the Forbidden City before the crowds, onto a quiet stretch of wall at Mutianyu or Jinshanling, and to the duck restaurant locals actually book, with a car when distances are long and a bike when the lanes are narrow.
