Day 2: Xuanwu Lake and Ancient City Walk

Your day starts at Zhonghua Gate, a remarkable Ming Dynasty fortress known for its strong structure and military ingenuity. You'll walk through this historic structure, passing through four impressive rows of gates. Next, visit the tranquil Xuanwu Lake Park, where the cherry blossoms create a dreamlike setting in spring, with scenic bridges and islands perfectly blending with the landscape. Then, witness how the 1,700-year-old Jiming Temple appears primitive and elegant amidst cherry blossoms, and the pink cherry blossoms swaying against the yellow walls of the temple along a scenic 400-meter-long avenue.

After that, ascend the Ming Dynasty City Wall, which nestles the Zijin Mountain, embraces the Xuanwu Lake, and extends to futuristic skyscrapers. From vantage points along this 6km section of the world's longest and best-preserved city wall, you'll have panoramic views of the city's natural beauty, historic sites, and modern vibrancy.

Day 4: 1912 Block, Museum Visit, and Departure

Kick off your day at the bustling 1912 Block, an area with exotic, classic-style architecture that transports you back to early 20th-century Nanjing. Take a leisurely walk, browse some trendy vendors, and have a coffee here. Next, choose between the Six Dynasties Museum, which delves into the city's rich history as an ancient capital since the 2nd century, or the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, a reminder to anyone raised in peace. This site, commemorating those lost in the tragedy of 1937-1938 caused by Japanese armies, inspire insights into the modern Apocalypse - and more. After your museum visit, your guide will escort you to the airport or train station for your departure or next stop.

Second Honeymoon My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary by spending a few weeks touring around Asia. We loved how Odynovo worked with us to craft a tour of what we wanted to see and how we wanted to see it. This was our first time traveling with a private tour guide, and it was truly amazing. they took care of all transportation, tickets, and everywhere we went we had someone who not only spoke our language, but was also very well-versed in the places we were visiting. We saw Beijing and then took a bullet train to Xi'an. In both cities we had tour guides who had done this "a thousand times," and as a result knew all the tricks on where to take the best pictures, what lines to stand in, where to eat, and what not to waste your time seeing. At one point our guide pulled out ponchos from her backpack when it started to rain, while another helped us haggle for a good price on a new suitcase. We were surprised by how much we loved China, and it is safe to say that is because of the quality of service we got from Odynovo. Oh, and the hotels were great, too! In our first hotel my wife fell in love with her breakfast soup that she had to have every morning, while in Xi'an we were right around the corner from the Muslim Night Market and were able to get to it in less than 5 minutes of walking.We are already looking to see what tours we will be doing next through Odynovo, as the service was amazing, the quality was remarkable, and the cost was very worth it for what we received.

Fabulous! We had a fabulous experience with our guide and Odynovo walking the Great Wall of China, and all other sites in Beijing. We loved our Peking duck dinner. It was fabulous. Thank you, Sammie/Jing for a great experience.

From adventures to The Great Wall, Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, to local markets, delicious Beijing food and roof top tea houses.Roy and our driver, Mr. Zhou, were prompt in picking us up and driving us around safely.The knowledge and fact about history and Beijing that Roy knows and explains is amazing and the fact he could answer my weird and inquisitive history questionsnwoth ease was a treat.He made it so easy to enjoy ourselves and absorb all that was around us, he even takes great photos too! 😊Polite, kind and thoughtful and ever patient in letting us take our time with things that interested us.I would highly recommend this tour and Roy again and again.

Amazing travel experience My name is Zarah M. Babangida a Nigerian and i visited Beijing with my colleagues from the office. During our 5 day stay in Beijing, Ms. Eva Ma, was our Tour guide and from the minute we came through the Arrival Gate of the Airport, we were embraced by her alluring smile and warm welcome. She remained consistent with her warmth, a kind and intelligent professional who exuded unique passion not just for her job as a tour guide but, even more so as a proud Chinese woman. Her outstanding insight and knowledge of the sweet Chinese history and heritage left us in awe. I couldn't be more proud and thankful that she was assigned to our group and she made our stay exciting, fun-filled effortless and knowledge packed. I absolutely commend her dedication to work which she depicted throughout our stay. I recommend her to every visiting tourist because to know Eva, is to love her. If it were up to me, i will increase her bonuses or upgrade her salary as i am sure most tourists would want or revisit for her sake first and then perhaps other reasons.Thank you Eva and keep the passion up🙌.
