You will even have the unique opportunity to meet a local family! With a local guide, visit a Beijing family to see how they live their daily lives. Interact with this family and form a connection between your cultures.

Then you will visit the Prince Gong's Mansion, which was the private home of He Shen, an important official during Emperor Qianlong's reign.
