In the morning, we take rickshaws for a fascinating tour of Beijing`s Hutongs-old narrow lanes lined with ancient courtyard houses, giving us a glimpse into the daily life of Beijing residents.

After lunch at the imperial Fangshan Restaurant inside the Beihai Park, we visit the beautiful Summer Palace, the largest and best preserved of all imperial palace gardens which boast such delicacies as the famous Marble Boat and the ornately painted 'long corridor'.
