Opis
Explore the imperial Summer Palace with a licensed guide. Master tie-dye in a Ming dynasty courtyard and craft your own scarf. Ideal for first-time visitors to Beijing.
Step into imperial Beijing on an exclusive private journey combining the grandeur of the Summer Palace with the ancient artistry of Chinese tie-dye. Accompanied by your licensed English-speaking guide, delve into Qing court history, stroll lakeside pavilions along Kunming Lake, and step inside a historic Ming dynasty courtyard home to master an ancient textile craft.
Begin with convenient hotel pickup within Beijing's 4th Ring Road in a private 7-seater van, or meet outside Beigongmen Subway Station (Line 4 Exit D). Equipped with personal wireless audio headsets, hear every architectural nuance and royal legend clearly without straining in open spaces.
Enter the Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and masterwork of Chinese landscape design. Commissioned as an imperial summer retreat, this vast garden harmonizes natural topography with temples, halls, and bridges. Follow your guide along Suzhou Street, a charming waterway lined with replica riverside shops built for imperial entertainment, and gaze up at the Four Great Regions reflecting Tibetan Buddhist architecture. Ascend toward the Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Hall of Dispelling Clouds on Longevity Hill for panoramic views across Kunming Lake.
Stroll the 700-meter Long Corridor, adorned with thousands of vibrant mythological paintings. Arrive at the iconic Marble Boat resting at the lake edge. Along the way, learn about Empress Dowager Cixi and the retreat's fascinating history. A scenic dragon boat ride across Kunming Lake is available on site as an optional experience.
At midday, enjoy a relaxing lunch break featuring authentic Beijing flavors recommended by your guide (own expense).
In the afternoon, travel to an authentic Ming dynasty quadrangle courtyard (siheyuan) in a historic Beijing neighborhood. Inside this tranquil heritage residence, take part in an intimate tie-dye masterclass.
Recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Chinese tie-dye (zharan) dates back over 1,000 years. Discover how artisans bind, clamp, and fold fabric using natural plant dyes to produce striking patterns. Fasten your cloth with cords and clips, immerse it into the dye vat, and unwrap your creation to reveal a one-of-a-kind design. Take home your handmade square scarf as a keepsake, along with a complimentary traditional Chinese lucky blessing plaque.

- Private Walking Tour (Meeting Point): Meet at Beigongmen Station for a guided garden walk and courtyard craft workshop.
