The Bear looking at all the Beijing tour guides.

VRBO Bear stayed here - 03/22/2006 From start to finish our trip to Beijing was a unique experience. Unlike any other property I know of on VRBO.com, this condo comes with a car, driver, and bilingual tour guide! Dinglian (Ding) and her husband Liupei were available throughout our stay to be sure we had a wonderful time experiencing the marvels of ancient China, the massive ongoing modernization of the city, and the ample shopping opportunities. By the time we left we felt we had known them forever and considered them good friends.

This residence offers the guest the opportunity to live like a local. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, not a resort. While there are a large number of apartment buildings nearby there was little if any noise, particularly during the evening and night hours. It was hard to believe we were in a city of 11 million people, that is until we got into rush hour traffic...grin.

Ding and Liupei know all the local restaurants and grocery markets so you can expect to eat very well and inexpensively while in Beijing. We did, however have the pleasure of taking them to the Hard Rock Café for their first time. They liked the burgers but thought they were expensive...they were.

Highlights of the trip were visiting the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, the Ming Tombs, and climbing the Great Wall, 25 miles outside the city. Each of these places were magical and the memories will last a lifetime. It was very easy to visit all these sites during our short stay since we had our own driver and guide and didn't have to rely on being with a large group and following their schedule. I highly recommend visiting China and this VRBO.com property. If you are interested in visiting Beijing and would like more information, feel free to contact Marvin at webmaster@vrbo.com.

Signed, VRBO Bear

  • I stayed in the Beijing condo with a friend for 5 nights in August, 2009 and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Liu Pei and Monica ran a very professional business that allowed us to do everything we wanted while staying in Beijing. Our itinerary was pretty full and included a lot of the tourist sites in Beijing, but thanks to Liu Pei and Monica we were able to see everything with plenty of time to spare. The condo was an incredible experience in itself as it allowed us to spread out with our large bags and enjoy the comfort of having our own spacious bedrooms. We didn't spend a whole lot of time in the condo as we were always out during the day and evening seeing the sites or eating a meal, but it was always great to come back to the peace and quiet of the condo at the end of the day. The car service included with the condo was terrific and Monica was an excellent guide for many of the tourist sites that we visited. Liu Pei on the other hand was a fantastic driver that knew his way very well around Beijing and we never had to wait long for him to pick us up from wherever we were. We wouldn't hesitate staying in Liu Pei and Monica's condo again and will definitely recommend it to any friends and family that visit Beijing.

  • We were very pleased with our 4 night stay in Beijing with Liu Pei and Monica as our hosts. As other reviewers in this guestbook have mentioned, Liu Pei and Monica are very accomodating and considerate, and we could not ask for anything better with the service and the genunine interest to make our stay memorable. The condo was comfortable and conveniently located for quick access to the highways and also local downtown, but located in a quiet residential neighborhood with nearby stores as well. Our hosts suggestions for restaurants on the fairly inexpensive to a nice 5 star rated Chef Dong (for Peking Duck specialty, but try the Sashimi salad as well, yummy. BTW free drinks in the lobby as you wait for your table) restaurants were good for us. Our hosts would drive us to the restaurants and we will eat, then use the host's cell phone to call for pickup, which was always prompt. As a side note, we want to thank Monica for insisting not to be conned by some tricksters who offered horse rides for a low price to journey from the Dragon Valley Long Qing Gorge parking lot to the actual entrance( usually there is shuttle service but it was not running at that time, which equate to a 30 minute walk in the sun - could not drive to the entrance with Liu Pei's car as it was off limits for some reason), then demanding a much higher price per person 5-10 minutes into the off road journey. Monica was able to control the situation and forced the tricksters to bring us back to the main road and Liu Pei managed to arrranged a private shuttle bus to take us at a much reasonble price. In retrospect, we got a free horse ride !! In a summary, we would not hesitated to reserve a spot with Liu Pei and Monica when we go back to Beijing. Monica & Liu Pei - thanks for everything and the great conversations. Please remember us. Maybe next time we can go to Xian or Shanghai together?

  • We had the most wonderul time in Beijing thanks to Monica and Liu Pei. Throughout our stay, they devoted themselves completely to making our Beijing vacation happy and memorable. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. It had internet access, an excellent washing machine, and plenty of hot water. We were a party of three, and the kitchen and two separate bedrooms with air conditioning gave us everything we needed to rest comfortably after days of delightful excursions. We highly recommend this apartment and Liu Pei and Monica's services as tour guides for your vacaton in Beijing.

  • What a wonderful time we had in Beijing thanks to Monica & Lui Pei. The apartment was just right for the 4 of us. We felt safe the whole time we were in the city. Having our own private guides and driver made it so much easier than if we would have had to do everything ourselves. They greeted us with a smile early each morning and remained pleasant until late at night when they brought us back. The restaurants they suggested were reasonable and the food was good. We appreciated that they never rushed us no matter how long we took at the places we visited. Monica is a great guide and really knows her history. She and Lui Pei taught us a lot. We allowed them to choose the places to visit and were happy with their suggestions. We learned some Chinese and we taught them some "Texan" - like "Yep", "Nope", and "Yee Haw". This was a trip of a lifetime and we are happy to recommend Lui Pei, Monica, and the rental property. We truly enjoyed our stay and have beautiful memories to cherish. -Marilyn & Denny Willmon-Houston, Texas -Sheri & Jim Young-Shanghai and Greenville, South Carolina

  • We had a fabulous time here with our great hosts Lui Pei and Monica, in April 2009. The apartment is exactly as you see it in the photos. It's comfortable, clean, safe, and most importantly, gives you a real feel for life in Beijing. Having a private guide and driver enabled us to see much more than we could ever see in a group tour. The nearby garden/park was a delight each morning to see people doing Tai Chi, and other groups doing various other activities including dancing. There is a takeaway food store just down the road from the garden which makes these amazing pancakes - 2 for 3 Yuan, that's breakfast for less than a $1. It's also worth checking out the Wu Mart, the local shopping centre. If not to purchase, at least to see how the locals go about their daily shopping. Make sure you check out each floor. Overall, a wonderful experience for us. Thank you Liu Pei and Monica.

  • Had a fabulous trip and couldn't have done it without Lui Pei and Monica. Travelling with our kids (ages 10 & 11)they loved the history and stories that Monica was able to share about all the sites we visited, the experience of shopping,the night market, Lui Pei's driving (which saved us lots of walking at all the sites) and their fabulous restaurant recommendations. Staying in the apartment gave us the local experience you can not get staying in a hotel, and having a driver and guide helped us really learn and experience Bejing and China. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again for longer!

  • We stayed in this condo for 4 nights, we have two young boys and it suited us well. We have lived in shanghai for 6 months so we were not as 'new' and maybe not the usual tourist! Lui Pei and Monica were outstanding hosts. Not only were they friendly and helpful they were very obliging to our some what hectic and for ever changing schedule. It was very cold when were there, snowed the last 2 days! was specutular. As it was cold my boys did not handle it very well and Monica was fantastic by taking us through certain parts of eg Forbidden city and Summer palace and showed us the highlights withought having to be there ALL day. We saw a great deal whilst we were there and everything was close by. Excellent location. Even though it was cold and snowing we were warm as toast in our little temporary home and we would always have to go out to the sunroom to check the weather! we were very thankful for the car as a long trip in the car to see the great wall and we could leave anytime we wanted without having to wait for a tour group to leave. Lui Pei is a very safe driver and they both had a good sense of humour about my boys, especially if one of them was having a melt down in the car! Monica and Lui Pei you are an asset to Beijing! and there should be more like you! would makes us young families travelling with small children life much easier! I certainly will be passing on my recommendations to friends here in china and overseas. Will be booking with you again this year in summer! see you soon!

  • This place was just right for us (visiting Beijing for the first time with 5-year-old twins -- we currently live in Shanghai). Though it was the middle of winter the apartment was warm and had limitless hot water. It's not fancy but it was very clean, pleasant, and comfortable and the kitchen was especially convenient. The driver and guide were extremely knowledgeable, skilled, kind, and thoughtful. We saw all the tourist basics and also did two day trips out of town. We had a terrific time and will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Beijing.

  • It is my pleasure to recommend this rental property. Lui Pei and Monica were superb hosts and guides. The condo is exactly as advertised and the excellent location gives westerners a chance to glimpse everyday life in Beijing, from watching Tai Chi in the park, to breakfast from sidewalk venders to children at day-care all is right there. We were there for the last week of the paralympics and our needs were not usual since we needed to travel to and meet friends at different times and places; Lui Pei always manged to get us there on time and this was despite the travel restrictions which meant he had to arrange for alternate cars every other day. All of our unusual requests were met with calm ,patience for beyond what might be expected. Beijing is a lovely, interesting, sprawling city I am sure that the best way to enjoy it is with Lui Pei and Monica.
