Served as China’s capital for more than 800 years, Beijing’s glorious ancient past and modern vibrancy mingle perfectly. If you have already visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, you could choose Beijing One Day Tour to Hutong, Lama Temple, Panda Zoo and Olympic Stadiums to personally experience the difference between old Beijing and modern Beijing.
“There are 360 hutongs with names, but those without names are countless”. At the time being there are about 5000 hutongs in existence, basically keeping the layout of Ming Dynasty with the broadest wider than 4 meters and narrowest less than 1 meter. Beijing Hutong is just as historical books, in which are recorded the cultural relics and historical monuments, interesting stories of famous figures and historical legends.
Lama Temple is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Beijing located in the city center. In a sense, Lama Temple now shows the most prosperous and the most brilliant culture to the modern face. Today, people who have visited it will be appealed to the splendid imperial garden architecture, mysterious Tibetan Buddhist statues and unique Tibetan Buddhist culture.
After the two representative historical sites, tourists of Beijing Day Tour will visit Panda Zoo, from where you will have a close contract with a various kinds of lovely animals.

Before finishing History & Modern Beijing Tour, the last destination is the Olympic Park. All the visitors will have 45 minutes to take pictures at the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube. Bird’s Nest and Water Cube has become the new symbols of modern architectures in Beijing since 2008. If you are interested in the inner structure of the stadiums, the tour guide will assist you in buying the tickets, and you could enter in the stadiums for a visit.

The Kung Fu show at the Red Theater is very beautiful performance that captures your attention. I found it all the more interesting when I was told by our tour guide that it is performed by local monks.
