Highlights
  • Red Theatre Beijing Acrobatic Show - This tour begins at 3:50pm. After meeting your tour guide, you’ll travel by private vehicle to kick off your Beijing adventure. With tickets pre-arranged, you’ll enjoy the brightest and best of Beijing’s acrobatic talent. The show runs from 4:20pm to 5:10pm.

  • Pearl Market (Hongqiao Market) - Next, indulge in a unique shopping experience at the renowned Pearl Market. Your guide will offer tips on which vendors to visit for specific items and how to find the perfect souvenirs to bring home.

  • 大碗居 - Finally, savor a Peking Duck dinner at a local restaurant. Peking Duck, originally from Beijing, is prepared using fruit wood, giving it a fruity flavor and crispy skin. The meal is enjoyed in a special way: first, you use a special bread, then you can start your delicious feast.

The duck is divided into three parts and prepared in three different styles:

The first method is the most popular. The meat, selected from the most flavorful part of the duck, is boned and served with green onions and dressing, making it savory and slightly sweet. It comes with thin crepes; you spread the dressing on the crepe, add some green onions, and roll it up. The second method uses the less meaty parts of the duck, which can be stir-fried with garlic, chilies, ginger, or onions. The third and final method utilizes the entire duck to make a soup with cabbage and duck meat with bones.

After dinner, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel.

Market Mania, Delicious Duck and KungFu Kings - Getting a great tour guide can be a lottery but we struck it lucky with Beccy. Her warm and friendly personality combined with fantastic English put the whole family instantly at ease. The tour was great - from the crazy bartering experience of the Pearl Market (where Beccy taught us a great Chinese phrase to keep insistent stall holders at bay) through to a delicious duck dinner (where Beccy explained how to eat each of the dishes) to the grand finale of the KungFu show which had my 12 and 11 year old boys totally transfixed. Really worth doing and my big tip is insist on getting Beccy as your guide.

I thought they'd show how they prepare it but instead our tour guide showed how they eat it at the table. Our tour guide Lucy was lovely! She was very sweet. While my husband and I was shopping at the Pearl Market, she offered to walk around with my son and played with him while we get our shopping done. Please ask for Lucy!</p>
