Your adventure will begin with us picking you up from your hotel at the designated departure time (8am). First, we’ll take you to the Capital Museum, where you’ll spend an hour exploring fascinating exhibits showcasing ancient and modern Chinese culture. Next, we’ll visit the breathtaking National Grand Theatre. Designed by renowned French architect Paul Andreu, this egg-shaped building features a stunning glass and titanium dome and is surrounded by water. Known as “The Egg,” its smooth, translucent exterior and unique oval shape make it a must-see landmark. Noon - Enjoy Chinese food and tea After admiring the beauty of the architecture, we’ll serve you a traditional Chinese lunch at a local restaurant, where you can taste authentic Chinese cuisine. After lunch, relax in a charming teahouse for about 45 minutes. Savor the charm of Chinese tea and feel the long-standing tradition that embodies the essence of Chinese culture. Afternoon - Water Cube, 798 Art District Next, we will go to the iconic Olympic venues – the “Bird’s Nest” and the “Water Cube” for a brief exterior tour. These two main venues built for the 2008 Olympics are a model of China’s modernization achievements. Next, we will go deep into Beijing’s creative center – 798 Art District. Located in Chaoyang District, 798 Art District is often compared to Greenwich Village or Soho.
