What to Expect

Your local guide leads you into the hutong maze after dark. The first stop is a family-run restaurant where you work through 10+ Beijing snack dishes. The guide explains each one. From there, you walk through narrow alleyways to a hidden courtyard bar serving craft beer. The courtyard setting is old Beijing meets new. The guide shares stories about hutong life, architecture, and the locals who still live here. The small group format keeps it intimate and social.

Who It's For
