Anya Zhang, a guide in Beijing

Anya Zhang, a guide in Beijing: Open your soul with the eyes of the man who lives here.

This photo album is not just a collection of vivid images of Beijing. This is a personal invitation to travel from a person for whom the Great Wall is not a landmark, but a native history, and the Beijing Hutongs are not an open-air museum, but live streets where he spent his childhood.

What you will see in these 12 frames - and what will remain behind the scenes before meeting Anya:

• The majestic Forbidden Wall: Not just ceremonial views, but those very angles and moments of silence, when thousands of people disappear, and you are left alone with the grandeur of ancient architecture.

• Forbidden City at Dawn: A unique opportunity to see the Imperial Palace without the usual pandemonium, when the first rays of the sun golden dragon figures on the roofs.

• Live Hutongs: Labyrinths of old Beijing lanes where time flows differently Here Anya will show you not tourist facades, but real life - with a game of mahjong at the entrances, the aromas of street food and friendly smiles of local old people.

• Temple of Heaven in motion: The morning scenes where locals practice tai chi, dance and sing are a symphony of Beijing morning.

• Taste of real China: Bright shelves with duck in Beijing, smoking woks in street markets and those tiny restaurants that are not found in any guidebook.

Why you should choose Anya Zhang:

• Guide with Chinese Soul and Russian Heart Anya speaks fluent Russian and understands the mentality of guests from Russia, but at the same time remains a carrier of authentic Chinese culture and traditions.
