Itinerary

  1. Bell and Drum Towers

    Passing by

    Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in one of our vintage sidecars. Depending on your hotel’s location, you may cruise past some of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks, such as Bell&Drum Tower, Houhai Lake, Qianmen Gate, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and more—offering a unique view of the city from the sidecar seat.

  2. Shichahai Scenic Resort

    Passing by

    Our destination is the historic Baitasi (White Pagoda Temple) district, an atmospheric neighborhood rich with culture and charm. Unlike the heavily touristed areas of the city, Baitasi is a hidden gem, home to a maze of quiet hutongs that still preserve the authentic rhythm of old Beijing life. Here, you won’t find souvenir shops or commercial food stalls—instead, you’ll be immersed in a local community where generations of Beijingers live, eat, and connect.

  3. Qianmen (Zhengyangmen)

    Passing by

    Once we arrive, your sidecar journey transitions into a guided walking food tour. Led by our knowledgeable local guide, you’ll wander through narrow alleyways and stop at a carefully curated selection of family-run eateries and hidden food stalls. From savory dumplings and hand-pulled noodles to traditional Beijing snacks like zhajiangmian and crispy-fried treats, you’ll sample a range of flavors that represent the heart and soul of Beijing cuisine.

    2 hours

    Come hungry—and ready to explore Beijing as few ever get to.
