Beijing, China, 7 April 2026 - April in Beijing – magnolias begin to bloom, willows dress in fresh green, and delicate blossoms quietly unfold against the backdrop of crimson walls and golden tiles. It is the perfect season for a spring outing. Marco Polo Parkside, Beijing, cordially invites Marco Polo DISCOVERY members to embark on a spring journey rich with the timeless charm of old Beijing.
Spring in the Hutongs – A Tailored Journey for Two through the Blossoming Capital
Spring in Beijing belongs not only to the imperial gardens, but also to the hutongs, where the pulse of daily life beats strongest. Marco Polo “Discovery” members can enjoy an exclusive local experience – a tailored hutong walking tour for two. Led by a professional guide, guests will wander through the ancient hutongs around Nanluoguxiang and Shichahai. During this season, lilacs and magnolias burst into bloom in the small courtyard gardens, peeking over grey brick walls and creating a charming contrast with vermilion wooden doors. Stroll along the blossom-dappled alleys, listen to stories of old Beijing, and visit the former residences of famous figures. Beneath the warm spring sun, guests will experience the unhurried rhythm of the capital and the poetic, flower-filled charm of its streets. Price for the two-person hutong tour: CNY 1,500.
