• Dongsi Hutong - An English-speaking guide and driver will collect you from your hotel in Beijing. Once aboard your private vehicle, embark on a 4-hour evening tour featuring an authentic Chinese dinner in the vibrant Hutong Street neighborhood. Your guide will share insights into Hutong’s history and culture before you arrive at your chosen restaurant.

• LongFuSi Jie - A variety of culinary options will be presented, including spicy Sichuan dishes, Shanxi cuisine with lamb or beef noodle soup, Guilin rice noodle soup, and Muslim cuisine with lamb kabobs and beef noodles. Regardless of your restaurant choice, you’ll enjoy a satisfying meal typically accompanied by rice or noodles.

• Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - Post-dinner, continue with a panoramic night tour of the city, where you can admire Beijing’s iconic landmarks beautifully illuminated against the night sky. You can discuss and decide on specific destinations with your guide based on your available time and real-time traffic conditions. For example, if traffic is light and time permits, you might drive past Tiananmen Square (note that entering requires a reservation made at least a day in advance, with each participant’s full name, passport number, gender, age, and nationality). If traffic is heavy or time is limited, the guide can suggest other well-lit scenic spots or popular night-view areas that are more accessible, ensuring a delightful night tour experience.

• National Center for the Performing Arts - The tour includes a photo stop at the National Center for the Performing Arts. This iconic “Giant Egg”-shaped building shines brilliantly at night, with its semi-transparent glass curtain wall reflecting the soft surrounding lights and the rippling water of the nearby lake, creating a dreamy and elegant atmosphere.

• The Place - A stop at The Place Mall is planned for photos—this commercial landmark is famous for its massive LED TV screen that spans the entire ceiling of its open-air atrium. At night, the LED screen lights up with vivid, dynamic visuals, from twinkling starry skies to flowing natural landscapes, creating an immersive “sky” above. Standing on the ground floor, you can capture unique photos where the glowing screen blends with the mall’s modern architecture and bustling atmosphere, making for memorable shots that highlight this unique urban scene.

• CCTV New Mansion - You will drive past the CCTV Building, known as “Big Pants” for its iconic, bold architectural design that stands out in Beijing’s skyline. As you pass by, admire how its modern, twisting structure is illuminated by night lights, creating a striking visual contrast against the surrounding buildings. If you wish to stop and take photos of this distinctive landmark, simply inform your tour guide, and arrangements can be made based on on-site conditions.

• Back Lakes (Hou Hai) - Next, stop at the Houhai Lake area—a beloved spot that blends Beijing’s traditional charm with relaxed nighttime vibes. Surrounded by well-preserved hutongs (narrow ancient alleyways) and traditional courtyard houses, the lake shimmers gently under streetlights and the glow of nearby cafes, bars, and small shops. Here, you can take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside path, soak in the cozy, laid-back atmosphere, and catch glimpses of local life and traditional architecture, making it a perfect place to unwind and experience the unique night rhythm of old and new Beijing.

• Niaochao National Stadium - Finally, head north to Olympic Park to visit the world-famous Bird’s Nest (National Stadium)—the iconic venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, renowned for its innovative lattice-like steel structure resembling a bird’s woven nest. As night falls, the stadium is illuminated by warm, soft lights, highlighting the grandeur and artistry of its unique design, making it a stunning sight against the dark sky. Please note that the Bird’s Nest’s lights turn off at 21:30, so you’ll admire its illuminated beauty just in time to capture this landmark’s Olympic legacy under the night.

• Water Cube - After viewing the nearby Water Cube (National Aquatics Center)—with its translucent blue bubble-like exterior glowing softly at night, perfectly complementing the Bird’s Nest—your tour guide and driver will then return you to your hotel.
