Start your culinary adventure in Nanluoguxiang, one of Beijing's best-preserved hutong neighborhoods. Your private guide leads you through centuries-old alleyways, stopping at local vendors and hidden eateries to sample iconic Beijing street foods — from jianbing (savory crepes) and zhajiangmian noodles to steamed dumplings and baozi. Experience the flavors and daily life of old Beijing in one of the city's most atmospheric corridors.

Stroll along the scenic Shichahai lake area, one of Beijing's most charming historic neighborhoods. Your guide takes you to the Drum Tower viewpoint for a panoramic bird's-eye view over the ancient hutong rooftops — a 600-year-old landmark that once marked time for the entire city. Explore the lakeside hutong lanes and discover the blend of old Beijing charm and vibrant local culture that makes this area iconic.

End your tour at a hidden craft brewery bar tucked inside a traditional courtyard in the heart of the hutong area. Enjoy a complimentary glass of locally brewed beer while soaking in the atmosphere of old Beijing alleyways. This is the perfect way to unwind and wrap up an immersive day of food, history, and culture. Your tour concludes here — your guide will help you arrange a taxi back to your hotel.
