What To Expect
Chang'an Avenue
When the hustle of daytime fades, Beijing transforms into a captivating nightscape—where the glittering lights of Chang’an Avenue meet the solemn grandeur of Tian’anmen, the tranquil grace of Houhai blends with the nostalgic warmth of Hutongs, and the modern sleekness of Olympic venues stands alongside the bustling skyline of CBD. To let you deeply experience this "night beauty" of the city, we’ve crafted this 4-hour private night tour—it takes you to iconic landmarks while adapting flexibly to your preferences, revealing a side of Beijing you’ve never seen.
Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)
Our route focuses on "classics + characteristics," covering 4 must-visit zones. The specific schedule can be adjusted with your guide at any time, balancing freedom and immersion: 1: Qianmen-Tian’anmen Area: Include Qianmen Street, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and Tian’anmen Square (optional). 2: Houhai-Hutong Area: Featuring Houhai Lake, Old Beijing Hutongs, and specialty shops, this area lets you enjoy Beijing’s slow life and encounter the nostalgic atmosphere of old Beijing among gray bricks and tiles. 3: Olympic Village Area: With Beijing National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) and National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) as its main attractions, it offers the chance to check in on the night view of Olympic landmarks, and the light show of these modern buildings creates a stunning visual impact. 4: CBD Area: Centered on CCTV Headquarters and The Place, it enables you to feel Beijing’s "international style", as LED lights and skyscrapers outline a bustling skyline here.

5.00I did a night tour in Beijing with Miko as the guide and John as the driver. We visited the CCTV building, Olympic Park and other landmarks lit up beautifully at night. Miko was knowledgeable and engaging, while John drove smoothly and safely. A great way to see the city after dark.

5.00We just arrived in Beijing after a long travel. Jack was so accommodating to us. Jack was a wealth of information that helped us gain a deeper understanding of the history of China. There is so much history and beauty in Beijing!! Jack and Jason (driver) safely took us to all the sites we wanted to see for great photo ops but also provided us with the best meal we have ever had! Cannot say enough about the content of the tour, the dinner, the conversation and the attentiveness to tailor our tour to meet our needs! So glad we selected this tour …we really enjoyed our tour with Jack and highly recommend!!! Thank you again for a beautiful evening in Beijing!
Excellent tour

5.00Nice visit through the city and its animated areas. The driver and the guide were good. Good to have an hotel pickup as it is tricky with taxis if you don’t have Alipay .
Historical tours with many details and inside stories.

5.00This was our first night in Beijing and I think it was a great introduction. Our guide picked us up from our hotel with our driver (nice modern car!) and drove us around the city. We went to the old part of Beijing, entering some shops and areas and then towards the Olympic Park, past Tiananmen Square. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the lights and the friendliness. Our guide gave us a really good historical lesson. I would recommend.
