Overview

This private day trip takes you off the beaten path to two of Beijing’s most extraordinary (yet rarely visited) historical treasures: The Ming Tombs and the Yinshan Pagoda Forest, hidden in the quiet folds of the mountains.
Glide past ancient stone guardians, climb into pine-covered hills, and experience a deep sense of freedom — all from the comfort and thrill of a classic sidecar. For those who crave more mystery, you can add a descent into Dingling Tomb, the only excavated imperial tomb in China.
This is not just a sightseeing tour. This is a ride into forgotten history with style.

Walk the iconic Sacred Way of Ming Tomb
Explore the Pagoda Forest, a peaceful site of ancient Buddhist pagodas nestled in the hills
Enjoy a delicious local lunch at a countryside
Optional Add-On: Enter Dingling Tomb’s underground palace, the only Ming tomb ever excavated
Experience true freedom: stop for photos, views, and local stories whenever you like

What to expect

  1. Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling)
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Meet your private driver-guide and climb into your vintage Changjiang sidecar. Hear the engine roar to life as you leave the city behind, riding through winding backroads into Beijing’s green northern hills.
    Step down onto the stone path once walked by emperors and their spirits. The avenue is lined with majestic stone animals, generals, and ministers — guardians of the imperial afterlife.
  2. Yinshan Pagoda Forest
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Ride through quiet villages and mountain roads, then stop for a homemade lunch in a peaceful countryside courtyard. Breathe deep. You’re far from the city now.

    Follow a scenic climb into a secluded valley where dozens of ancient Buddhist stone pagodas hide under pine trees. It’s haunting, spiritual, and absolutely stunning. Few tourists ever come here.
  3. Dingling Underground Palace
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Optional Add-On: Dingling Tomb
    For those who want to go deeper: descend into the actual underground tomb of Emperor Wanli, the only Ming tomb archaeologically excavated. The stone chambers, vaults, and relics feel like a real-life tomb-raider experience.
    (Choose this when booking — adds about 1–1.5 hours to your day)

    Take a final ride through Beijing’s rolling hills, with optional photo stops or tea breaks along the way.
