You’ll leave a central Beijing hotel around 4:30 p.m. for a Peking duck dinner, then watch a high-energy acrobatics show at Chaoyang Theatre. The package includes transport and a city-center hotel return, but restaurant quality, seating, and timing can vary.

“The show itself was great! The venue was ok, but very crowded. Our party of six could not sit together but no couples were separated. The dinner afterward was great! Plenty of food and our guide was fantastic. If you’re visiting this country for the first time you may want to add this to your list”

2.Private Night Tour: Discover Beijing in Bustling Lights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 67 reviews · from $88Top rated

This 3 to 4-hour private evening tour pairs Beijing’s ancient center with its Olympic-era architecture. A guide such as Linda Shi, Jenny, Jeffrey, or Jack may lead the way, with hotel pickup, photo stops, a walk through old streets, and time for local snacks at Dashanlan.

“I took this tour my first night in Beijing with my tour guide/ driver Jenny, she was extremely personable and knowledgeable of the area. We walked for a bit by Houhai lake and I sample local lamb kebab and duck roll which were both delicious. The sights chosen were good but due to time constraints it was difficult to get truly wonderful photos at some. The Olympic stadium being one such location. I wished we spent more time at Houhai lake to take in a few minutes of the vibe and eliminate other street walking. Or even stopped off on Ghost street and join in the liveliness. Overall the tour…”
