Bell and Drum Towers

Begin your bike tour at the historic Drum Tower, an architectural marvel that has stood tall for centuries. Marvel at its intricate design and learn about its significance in Beijing's history. Originally called the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou), the Drum Tower was constructed in 1272 during Kublai Khan's reign, marking the centre of the Yuan capital, Dadu. Rebuilt in 1420 during the Ming dynasty under the Yongle Emperor and extensively renovated in 1800 by the Qing dynasty's Jiaqing Emperor, this landmark offers a unique glimpse into Beijing's rich cultural heritage.
Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

Forbidden City-The Palace Museum
  • 30m
Continue your journey to the majestic Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Glide past the imposing red walls and ornate gates, experiencing the mystical allure of this ancient imperial palace complex after dark. Located in the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is a grand palace complex that served as the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming to the Qing dynasties, spanning from 1420 to 1912. Now housing the Palace Museum, it was the residence of emperors and their families and the political and ceremonial centre of the Chinese government for nearly 500 years.
Jingshan Park (Jingshan Gongyuan)

Pedal onwards to Jingshan Park, located just north of the Forbidden City. Jingshan Park is a picturesque 23-hectare (57-acre) imperial park in the Imperial City area of Beijing. The park's central feature is an artificial hill called Jingshan, offering panoramic views of the city. Originally a private imperial garden connected to the Forbidden City, it opened to the public in 1928 and was officially established as a park in 1949. Managed by both Xicheng and Dongcheng districts, Jingshan Park is a Key State Park in the heart of city centre Beijing.
Shicha Lake Park

Ride through the charming lanes towards Shichahai Lake Park, a picturesque area surrounded by traditional courtyard homes and quaint teahouses. Take a moment to enjoy the serene ambiance of the lake and its beautifully lit surroundings. The name "Shichahai" means "the lake of ten temples," referring to the ten famous Taoist and Buddhist temples around the lakes, along with several royal mansions and gardens. Among the best-known landmarks are the Prince Gong Mansion and the Prince Chun Mansion. Covering 147 hectares, Shichahai was once the bustling commercial hub of Beijing and is now a popular tourist destination. The area features tall trees lining the lake borders and offers boating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter. Located near the north gate of Beihai Park, Shichahai Lake Park is a must-see scenic spot in Beijing.

Mostly pedestrianised, it has been a centre of commercial activity since the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
