What To Expect
Bell and Drum Towers
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in one of our vintage sidecars. Depending on your hotel’s location, you may cruise past some of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks, such as Bell&Drum Tower, Houhai Lake, Qianmen Gate, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and more—offering a unique view of the city from the sidecar seat.
Shichahai Scenic Resort
Our destination is the historic Baitasi (White Pagoda Temple) district, an atmospheric neighborhood rich with culture and charm. Unlike the heavily touristed areas of the city, Baitasi is a hidden gem, home to a maze of quiet hutongs that still preserve the authentic rhythm of old Beijing life. Here, you won’t find souvenir shops or commercial food stalls—instead, you’ll be immersed in a local community where generations of Beijingers live, eat, and connect.

5.00Even as someone who had lived in Beijing in the past, we loved our sidecar tour! It was one of the highlights of our trip - we found it to be a very unique way to see the city and learn more about the city. The food tour was a great complement, and we had a great time chatting with our guide John. We felt very safe and would recommend this to anyone traveling to Beijing.
