On this tour of Beijing's hutongs, we will explore the narrow alleys of the city's old town.

Tour Details

At the appointed time, we will meet at Exit I of the Qianmen subway station and walk along a busy shopping street to delve into the history of Beijing.

We will reveal the secrets of the capital's narrow alleys by venturing into Xianyukou, known as “fresh fish street,” a popular spot for street food and Beijing's culinary traditions.

Then, we will visit Sanlihe Hutong, a modern area where these alleys have evolved over the centuries into a key commercial and residential zone.

Next, we will return to the heart of Beijing to explore Dashilan Hutong, over 500 years old and recognized for its preservation of the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

For our final stop, we will head to Fangjia Hutong, where we will experience the blend of old and modern Beijing, featuring trendy bars, restaurants, hostels, themed shops, and street vendors, alongside typical gray houses and ancient trees.

We will conclude the 2.5-hour tour at this last stop.
