This was arguably my favourite tour I did during my stay in Beijing. Seeing the Tanzhe Temple is not a classic tourist item in Beijing - but it really should be. The temple is stunning and our tour guide, Jackie was fantastic. He had such amazing knowledge and he made the trip so insightful. I would recommend this tour to those who appreciate religion and culture, and those seeking to do things that most others won't.
