Step 1 - Start with a Local Breakfast
Begin your morning the way locals do - with a simple, comforting Beijing breakfast near the Temple of Heaven.
This isn’t a tourist restaurant, but a neighborhood spot where nearby residents stop by before their day begins.
Your guide will explain what’s on the table, how locals usually eat it, and why these dishes have been part of Beijing mornings for generations.
Step 2 - Walk Through the Temple of Heaven with a Local Guide
After breakfast, enter the Temple of Heaven and begin a relaxed walk through its vast grounds.
As you move between ancient cypress trees and imperial architecture, your guide shares stories behind the rituals, symbolism, and daily life connected to this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Along the way, you’ll see locals gathering for morning activities — singing, stretching, writing calligraphy, and socializing — offering a glimpse into everyday Beijing life beyond sightseeing.
Step 3 - Experience a Calm Tai Chi Session
The experience concludes with a gentle Tai Chi session led by a local instructor inside the park.
You’ll learn basic movements, focus on breathing, and enjoy a peaceful moment in one of Beijing’s most iconic settings.
No prior experience is needed — this session is designed to be slow, accessible, and calming, offering a meaningful way to connect body, space, and tradition.
Step 4 - End Your Morning Like a Local
By late morning, the experience naturally comes to an end — leaving you relaxed, grounded, and free to continue your day.
Many guests choose to wander into nearby hutongs, explore local markets, or simply enjoy a slow stroll, having already experienced a side of Beijing most visitors never see.
This isn’t a rushed checklist tour, but a calm, immersive morning shaped around real local rhythms.
