Hello all my dear friends! "Ni Hao!" Welcome to China and Welcome to Beijing! My name is Alice. I'm not only a licensed tour guide but also eager to give you a wonderful trip! I am a certified intermediate-level English Tour Guide with over 15 years of professional experience in the tourism industry. My Chinese name it means double red. The meaning of the color red in China is good luck and happiness. So I hope our trip will be a wonderful and happy tour. I graduated from Beijing Normal University, and my major is English. I have been a tour guide since 2009. When I become a tour guide I have took part in many important events to give me a deep impression. I took part in the Beijing APEC Conference in 2014 to receive the delegations that come from Cambodia. I took part in the ceremony is the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of The People's Republic of China. During these years, I have guided many groups to Shanghai, Xi'an, Suzhou, Hangzhou, the Three Georges, and so on. I try my best to help all the travelers in my group, such as to help them to take the train or plane, to take assist with their food, life habit, the rooms of hotel. I'm familiar with these popular cities in China very well. In addition, I have traveled to Europe , Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Korea, and so on. I love China’s long‑standing history and rich culture. Beijing is a city over 3000 years old and is one of the oldest civilization countries in the world. Every dynasty has their stories. I wished to share all my stories about this city with you. There is a saying which says "if the wall could speak". When we go to the Great Wall, it will be a strong feeling in our heart. How did the laborers build Wall in 2000 years ago in that hard environment? If the wall in the Forbidden City could be talk, it will tell you the stories of emperors. If the wall in the old city could talk, it will talk to you about local people's life, and the real culture in China. Now, I will be the "old wall in Beijing". I want to show you the beautiful places and tell you the stories of Beijing. What happened here in the past 3000 years. Beijing is the capital of China. It not only has tourist's places, but also a profound cultural connotation in here. For example, the Kongfu show, the acrobatic show or enjoy a tea ceremony in the peaceful afternoon. If you are drawn to spectacular ancient architecture, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Beijing’s highlights, authentic local culture and everyday city life, feel free to reach out to me for your private tour. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Beijing! No messy schedules, no hidden hassles—just pure Beijing magic, one amazing stop at a time. Let’s go!

Overview of your Beijing tour

"Ni Hao" My dear friend! Thanks for dropping by my page. I warmly welcome you to Beijing. Do join me to experience the vibes of Beijing with a local! Our tour include the Forbidden City, Old town of city- Hutongs and the Temple of Heaven. The Forbidden City is the biggest and best preserved imperial palace in the whole world. Let's go explore it together. The Hutong area is located at the old part of city. Ever wondered how did the city looks like hundred years ago? Then you need to be here. We can take a rickshaw to see the narrow lanes and go to the courtyard to visit the local people's home. We'll also go to the Temple of Heaven where is for the emperors to worship to the God of Heaven. If you wish to visit Tiananmen Square: in the low season when crowds are small, we can join the queue and go inside. But during peak tourist season, we will drive past Tiananmen Square for viewing. Feel free to tell me if you have any special requests. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Alice was the best Tour Guide we had so far. Wonderful day in Beijing!

Alice was so knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited. She was engaging, patient and passionate in her sharing. We really enjoyed her acrobatic show recommendation. A definite help for non-native Chinese speakers to navigate the various sites especially security at Tiananmen Square.

This was my second day tour with Alice and once again excellent. Alice shared fascinating and detailed stories of China's past as we visited the more than impressive Forbidden City, followed by a fun and insightful trip to a Hutong and finally, the Temple of Heaven. Once again, Alice was considerate and incredibly patient with me after I ran late having some stomach pain from the night before. An excellent guide and a well put-together tour once again. Thank you Alice!!

Alice is one of the sweetest and most professional tour guides I have toured with. She is very thorough and has an extensive knowledge of the history of China. Her driver and her were very punctual. Communication was great. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 pre-teens. She was able to keep everyone engaged. We liked her so much that we booked a great wall tour with her the following day.
