I was traveling for work with two colleagues and we had one day for some exploration. What a great tour- a perfect mix of cultural sights and some adventures in the Hutong area. Lots of walking which was a really nice way to see many things without the dreaded traffic or a bus!! Our tour guide, Angel, was wonderful- Fun, knowledgeable, organized. It was a perfect day!!
