BEIJING, May 21 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- With summer in bloom on the Mainland, Beijing has a great mix of outdoor spaces to soak up the sun and sights. Many of Beijing's famous historical attractions sprawl over large outdoor spaces and parks that are kept in great condition adding to the beauty of the monuments. The city also boasts numerous family friendly parks, a traditional hutong neighbourhood and a trendy outdoor modern art district for summer fun. Beijing-based travel company, The China Guide (http://www.thechinaguide.com), urges all travelers to put on some walking shoes and explore the city's outdoor selection this summer season.

The China Guide has put together a number of Beijing tours that include the best of the city and are perfect for summertime. Guests can visit Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall. "These famous sights are a must in every itinerary, but the way to really make the experience special is to see some other less-known outdoor attractions," says Judy Huang, Travel Manager of The China Guide. "We like to give our guests a well-rounded experience of history, culture and a modern element. And in the sunshine in the heart of summer is the best time to explore all of these."

Beijing's hutong district is always a highlight of The China Guide's tours. Guests can explore the old city alleyways by taking a rickshaw ride or opting for a biking tour. A visit to a local family home with home-cooked lunch makes the experience hands-on and unique for guests. The summer light creates a beautiful setting to capture photos of old Beijing.

For a modern experience, The China Guide takes guests to the 798 modern art district. The large outdoor district is built among old factories creating a one-of-a-kind space, perfect for the unique exhibitions and displays of international and local artists. "The 798 area is great for strolling, people watching, getting a cup of coffee and of course slipping into the many galleries to get a break from the heat," adds Huang.

The China Guide is offering a selection of pre-designed city tours or will customize itineraries to match perfectly with traveler's interests, budget and time frame.
