What you can expect

If you are tired of overcrowded tourist spots and long for a quiet, authentic experience to truly understand a city’s evolution, this tour is tailor-made for you. Designed for travellers who pursue unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences, this one-of-a-kind itinerary perfectly combines industrial heritage, traditional art and modern urban vitality. This exclusive tour cannot be found anywhere else on the platform.

⭐ Shougang Park
As the first stop of our tour, Shougang Park witnesses Beijing’s industrial transformation after 1949, representing the city’s vigorous industrial development that was gradually phased out with urban upgrading. Sharing a similar transformation fate with Germany’s Ruhr Region, it fully preserves original factory buildings and industrial structures. The abandoned industrial site has been revitalised into stunning industrial-punk style landscapes and even served as an official competition venue for the Winter Olympics. You will capture countless stunning, one-of-a-kind photos with its unique retro-industrial and modern aesthetic collision.

⭐ Beijing Liuli Industrial Park
This is an even more hidden local gem, rarely known even by Beijing residents. Liuli (ancient Chinese glaze) art occupies an indispensable position in traditional Chinese culture. The glazed tiles decorating the roofs of the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven are all crafted with this timeless technique. Rebuilt from abandoned old factory workshops and original kiln sites, the park fully showcases the complete development history of Liuli craftsmanship. You can witness the entire handmade production process on-site, relax in peaceful boutique cafes, and immerse yourself in a pure, quiet and authentic local atmosphere far from tourist crowds.
