Urban Exploration
Modern China is bold, fast, and full of contrast — where hotpot meets haute couture, and tradition lives next to neon.
At Hexa, we blend big sights with local secrets, so you can experience the city like it’s meant to be: unexpected, alive, and always evolving.
Beijing Day Tour: Royal Power & People’s Lives in the Hutongs
Beijing, Urban Exploration
This is a journey into the layered soul of Beijing, where emperors once rode through vermilion gates, and time lingers in the alleys like morning steam. Not behind museum glass, but in courtyards where elders play chess beneath grapevines, and dumplings are still folded by hand.
In one day, trace the arc of a dynasty from imperial palaces to hutong homes, stand where history thundered at Tiananmen, and sip jasmine tea in a teahouse older than most nations. Walk through the bones and breath of a city that has always been more than its monuments.
Shanghai Day Tour: Modern China in the Paris of the East
Shanghai, Urban Exploration
This is a journey into the layered soul of Shanghai—where colonial clocks once chimed over rickshaw wheels, and history lives not in silence, but in conversation. Not behind velvet ropes or glass cases, but in lane houses where radios still hum old love songs, where laundry sways over café tables, and where modern life tiptoes across cobblestones.
In one day, walk the banks where foreign powers once negotiated empires, trace the lines of Shikumen alleys where poets and revolutionaries once whispered, and sip coffee in a villa where East and West still meet eye to eye.
Chongqing Day Tour: A Taste of Everyday China
Chongqing, Urban Exploration
This is a journey into the vertical heart of Chongqing — a city carved by rivers and built on cliffs, where fog curls through alleys and memories cling to stairs. Not preserved in stillness, but alive in hotpot steam, mahjong tiles, and hillside echoes.
In one day, ride through air across rivers once crossed by warships, wander lanes where revolutionaries hid and poets wrote by candlelight, and cook a Chongqing-style meal that speaks the city’s fiery dialect.
Guangzhou Day Tour: Made in China — A World Factory Tour
Guangzhou, Urban Exploration
This is a journey into the living heritage of Guangzhou—a city where dynasties traded silk and porcelain, and where the Pearl River once carried dreams to every corner of the world. History here doesn’t sleep in museums—it lingers in arcades shaded by banyan trees, in alleys echoing with the clang of dim sum carts, in temples where incense curls beneath neon signs.
In one day, step onto the cobbles of Shamian Island, where colonial facades still face the river breeze. Wander through ancestral halls etched with family legacy, and explore markets where Cantonese opera shares space with street food.
