Bespoke’s Big, Beihai Park Scavenger Hunt
Earlier this year, Bespoke Beijing launched their grandest, most epic scavenger hunt activity that takes place all around one of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks: Beihai Park! This activity can actually be done at any time at all, but we think it’s the perfect weekday getaway activity.
