The Best Way To Cruise Beijing This Summer

BEIJING (July 13, 2011) – Besides easy access to world-class attractions, sensational dining venues and cosmopolitan nightlife hotspots in the capital, The Opposite House is offering guests a chance to experience Beijing from an exciting perspective this summer - in a motorcycle sidecar.

This package is a unique way to explore the capital and beat the traffic jams and tourist crowds, allowing guests to cruise the hidden-gems in this vintage-looking vehicle that is reminiscent of a black-and-white movie with an experienced guide.

The $450 USD package for one guest includes a one-night stay in a Studio 70, breakfast, and a four-hour customized motorcycle sidecar trip. Trips for two with a driver start at approximately $570, and include a one-night stay in a Studio 70, breakfast and a four-hour sidecar trip for two guests.
