Overview

This private tour is ideal for people who want to get some special souvenirs and try different things to do in Beijing. You will visit three iconic markets in Beijing: Panjiayuan Market - the largest and most popular antique market in Asia; Liulichang Culture Street - a well-known place for Chinese handicrafts and antiques; Hongqiao Pearl Market - a major knock-off market in Beijing. Besides exciting markets visiting, you will also enjoy a delicious lunch at famous Du Yi Chu Shaomai Restaurant, which is the oldest and best restaurant for traditional Beijing Shao Mai. In addition, you will enjoy a total 100-minute Chinese Massage for both your foot and body.

Itinerary

Meet your guide in your hotel lobby at selected time and set off to your first stop: Panjiayuan Ghost Market. The market spreads over 2.4 acres (5 hectares) and boasts more than 4,000 stalls dealing in antiques, arts, handicrafts, and second-hand goods.

Then drive to Hongqiao Pearl Market, one of the two major dirt markets in Beijing. The reason it is named the Pearl Market is that it is more famous for its Chinese South Ocean Pearl. The last market you will visit is the Liulichang Culture Street, which is known throughout China and the world for its ancient books, calligraphy, paintings, brushes, ink stones and other traditional Chinese handicrafts.

Lunch will be the famous Shaomai served in Duyichu Restaurant (Fangzhuang Chain), founded in 1738 during the Qing Dynasty. Besides Shaomai, other dishes and vegetables are also available to order in Duyichu.

During the tour and before lunch, you will enjoy a 100 minutes massage in a place with traditional Chinese decoration. The service includes 40 minutes foot massage and 60 minutes whole body massage. There are also complementary tea and fruits.

Sorry for the late review. I booked several private tours via La Vacanza Travel in Beijing. All went smoothly. My guide, Serena, spoke excellent English and was very efficient. She was also very friendly, took a genuine interest in me and took time to explain to me a lot of things about Chine, her way of life, food....would happily book again.

Sang Yu, aka Ms. Maria, was a fantastic Guide who showed me around Beijing as we were chauffeured by a great driver. Her English was impeccable, she took me to see a slice of real life in the markets and out to lunch. Sang Yu is knowledgeable and so sweet. She shares her insight and introduces you to some great vendors if you like to shop. We ended up with a massage, unlike any I have ever had on a queen size table. It was a day to remember. Thank you Sang Yu
