The Peninsula Palace Beijing is ideally located in the heart of Beijing in the Wangfujing district, which in itself has become an attraction for visitors and residents. Modern high-rise buildings stand alongside beautifully preserved 100-year-old shops and alleys known as China’s No1 Commercial Street. Themed events at Beijing’s top attractions such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Prince Gong’s Mansion and Summer Palace can be organised by the hotel. Other such programmes available include themed parties such as ‘Trader Meets the Little Emperor’ and Beijing Food Street’ with optional extras such as Chinese opera, acrobatics, strolling magicians and dance displays. For an alternative view of Beijing, visitors can ride on two-passenger bicycle carriages through the maze of centuries-old hutongs (alleys), whose walls enclose small houses built around courtyards.
