The China Guide Introduces Specialty Tours in Beijing: Modern Art, Architecture and More

BEIJING, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The China Guide ( http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ) is now offering specialty tours to enhance the unique aspects of Beijing. Beijing has many traditional and famous destinations popular to visitors but there are also a variety of other aspects to explore including art, sport and architecture. Specialty tours are designed to focus on one theme that can be seen and explored within the city.

Modern art in Beijing has flourished in the last few years and travelers can visit a wide selection of galleries, with work from local artists and abroad. As the modern art scene has only developed recently in China, many visitors are unaware of the location and scope in the country. For both art lovers and visitors seeking a unique tour of Beijing, The China Guide's specialty art guides can introduce the scene in Beijing, visiting some trendy neighborhoods. The 798 Art District is home to many local artists and offers a large collection of works.

Photography has become a popular hobby among travelers looking to capture one-of-a-kind moments and the Mainland is a perfect setting. In 2010, The China Guide will be offering photography tours with an Australian professional photographer to accompany the guests. Photographers will discuss different techniques and elements while visiting some of the guide's favorite locations to capture classical and modern China on digital film.

Other special interest tours include architecture and martial arts. Beijing is filled with architectural gems, most famously the Bird's Nest Stadium and the Water Cube. Visitors will be surprised to find that the city is also home to a number of fascinating buildings, both traditional and modern. Martial Arts have many different variations and learning some basic or advanced skills from an expert is a great way to experience China. Guests can learn martial art skills as well as see local people practicing their own variations around the city parks.

Specialty tour guides can be both foreign and local experts. The guides have a history with each aspect and will offer unique personal input during their tour. "We want to offer travelers a one-of-a-kind experience in Beijing. Our guests and their traveling companions will enjoy a great tour to start with, and then the added benefits of our select experts," says Peter Danford, Managing Director of The China Guide.

The China Guide can arrange special-interest tours in a range of fields for individuals, student groups or business professionals. Tours can range from half-day to longer periods that include multiple destination cities. Customization is possible, let them know your needs.
