Classes & Workshops in Northern China

Combine your Old Beijing sightseeing experience with several different cultural activities on this immersive, multi-part tour. Meet your guide directly at your hotel, and travel to Beijing's hutongs - traditional alleyways and courtyard dwellings that have been a part of the city for centuries. In addition to a sightseeing tour of the area, you'll also take part in a Chinese opera mask-painting session, followed by a tea ceremony. For an upgrade, you can also add a traditional, local meal to your itinerary.

Learn why it appeals to people worldwide, and pick up its slow, rhythmic movements and teachings on life. Finish with a Beijing restaurant breakfast of steamed buns and other specialities.
