Overview:

In modern Beijing, a few ancient trees have quietly stood watch for over a thousand years—rare survivors from the Tang and Liao dynasties. As we visit them on a guided walk, you’ll hear the stories these trees have lived through and see a side of Beijing that most travelers miss. We’ll wrap up with a quiet tea and traditional pre-lunch snack— a small taste of history.

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

What’s Special:

☑️ Visit ancient trees over 1,000 years old — silent witnesses to centuries of history, ritual, and change.

☑️ Explore hidden spaces and hear stories that connect trees to dynasties, legends, and everyday life.

☑️ Take in a sweeping, story-filled view of the Forbidden City.

☑️ A thoughtful walk for travelers who want to slow down and see Beijing differently.
