Daji Xiang

Daji Xiang offers a vivid example of urban renewal, where historic charm meets modern life. During Qingming, with spring breezes brushing past red walls and grey-tiled roofs, visitors can immerse themselves in the timeless charm of old Beijing.

Nanbanjie Hutong & Lanman Hutong

Just a short walk from Daji Xiang, you can stroll along these two parallel hutongs. Free from bustling crowds of tourists, the area is home to a variety of charming, offbeat boutiques.

Longfu Temple

This is a spiritual treasure trove for art and literature lovers, where traditional and contemporary urban life come together.

White Pagoda Temple

The White Pagoda Temple is a historic landmark dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. During Qingming, the red walls and distinctive white pagoda create a striking contrast, making it a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts. 

Qianmen & Guijie Street

As night falls, our journey leads us to the liveliest stop. The Qianmen area is home to many time-honored brands for shopping and dining, while Guijie Street is widely regarded as the heart of Beijing's nightlife.
