Descriptions
【Overview of your Hutong tour】
When you visit Beijing, you must experience the Hutongs!
Beijing has two faces: one imperial and grand, but distant from daily life, and one civilian and lively, full of heart.
After admiring the city’s luxurious palaces, venture into the Hutongs to truly discover its down-to-earth side. With more than 1,000 Hutongs crisscrossing the city like capillaries, each alleyway tells its own story. They have witnessed the changes of society, history, and countless lives. Come with me!
Uncover legendary tales, explore local religious traditions. Then taste local street food, unwind like a true Beijinger, and finally climb the Drum Tower for a panoramic view of the gray-tiled rooftops along the city’s central axis.
A journey where tradition meets modern life.
