Sample private Beijing itinerary

Beijing in 48 hours.

The headquarters city. The old lanes. The Great Wall. One private brief can connect them.

Ask about Xiaomi, Baidu or Sony Music China, then see Beijing beyond the meeting. Company visits require each host’s agreement. This route is illustrative and individually quoted.

01 — The routeIllustrative · Arranged around your dates

Arrival + two days

Read the company.
Read the capital.

Eric X.D. Tan brings two decades across games, music and technology to the brief. He looks at Beijing through a Western business and media lens, with room for the city on its own terms.

The host, route, dates, access and final fee are agreed before booking. No company visit or senior meeting is guaranteed.

Arrival / Set the tone00Airport or station → hotel → dinner

Arrival / Set the tone

First, a table.

Arrival

A considered arrival

Optional private transfer from the airport or station. The vehicle, route and cost are set out in your quote.

Evening

Peking duck, properly

Begin with a Peking duck dinner, or request a Michelin-starred restaurant for a separate fine-dining evening. Availability and reservations are checked for your dates.

Day one / Business and the city01Haidian or Chaoyang · Tiananmen · Nanluoguxiang

Day one / Business and the city

Where ideas meet scale.

Morning

A company conversation, if confirmed

Frame a relevant request around Xiaomi’s Beijing campus, Baidu’s Beijing headquarters or Sony Music China’s Beijing office. These are possibilities, not three promised stops; each company chooses whether and how to receive visitors.

Afternoon

Tiananmen Square

Walk the monumental civic centre with historical context. Entry rules, passport details and advance reservations are checked before the day is fixed.

Late afternoon

Nanluoguxiang and the hutongs

Trade scale for a slower street-level view of Beijing: courtyards, shops, food and the lived city around the old lanes.

Evening

The second table

Choose a local meal or a Michelin-starred option according to appetite and budget. Any meal, drinks and evening hosting are separately specified.

Day two / The long view02Great Wall excursion · Beijing · Closing conversation

Day two / The long view

Change the scale.

Morning to afternoon

The Great Wall

A dedicated excursion to an appropriate open section, such as Mutianyu, with transport and tickets planned around your party, weather and opening hours. This is the centrepiece of day two, not a rushed stop between meetings.

Return

The private readout

Eric connects the company question to what you saw of Beijing. Separate observations, interpretation and worthwhile follow-up.

Departure

Onward on your schedule

Optional airport or rail transfer. Extra company requests can be scoped as an extended programme rather than compressed into these 48 hours.

Commercial note

Built for your brief.

Individually quoted

Company access, host, scope and total fee are confirmed in writing before payment. Hotel, transfers, dining, tickets and evening hosting are optional and separately quoted.
