The Summer Palace
颐和园A lakeside escape into the art of imperial living. Wander painted corridors, pause by the water and discover the stories behind the scenery.
Private Beijing experiences
Beyond the red walls and mountain ridges, there’s a Beijing worth getting to know. Discover it with Green, your personal English-speaking guide.

Less rushing. More discovering.
Some places deserve more than a photograph. They deserve a good story, a little time, and someone to share them with.
The Beijing collection
Palace courtyards, blue-tiled temples, lakeside paths and a wall that follows the mountains. Where shall we begin?
A lakeside escape into the art of imperial living. Wander painted corridors, pause by the water and discover the stories behind the scenery.
Behind the red walls, an emperor’s world awaits. Look past the grandeur to the symbols, ceremonies and human stories of palace life.
Why a blue roof? Why so many circles? Find the ideas connecting heaven, earth and the emperor in one remarkable landscape.
Follow the wall into the mountains. Take in the watchtowers, the changing views and the stories of the people who guarded this frontier.
These four are favourites to start with, not the limit. Green also guides across the rest of Beijing — the Lama Temple, the hutongs, other sections of the Great Wall, the Olympic Park and more. Tell me where you’d like to go →

Absolutely — tell me which places interest you and how much time you have. We’ll discuss a practical route. Mutianyu is outside central Beijing, so it works well as a separate day.

Tell me the children’s ages and what captures their imagination. We can discuss a pace, breaks and stories suited to your family.
