Overview:

Before the city fully comes alive, you’ll run past palace walls, old alleyways, and quiet courtyards most tourists miss. This guided 7am run winds from the Forbidden City’s watchtowers through hutongs just beginning their day — ending with a hot, hearty local breakfast that’s as satisfying as the scenery.

Free cancellation • Full refund if cancelled up to 48 hours before the experience starts (local time).

What’s Special:

☑️ A rare, crowd-free glimpse of imperial Beijing in the calm of early morning.

☑️ Run through the heart of imperial Beijing — where stone walls, watchtowers, and quiet alleys echo centuries of history.

☑️ Refuel with a no-frills Beijing breakfast, where the locals start their day.
