You'll also see newly renovated alleys transformed into boutique cafes and stylish spaces.

-
A rare gem hidden in the historic Hutong neighborhood. Here the narrow alleys wind alongside a small meandering river where ducks swim and the water sparkles under the Beijing sun. This peaceful waterside setting offers a quiet contrast to the busy city and shows a softer side of old Beijing. Step inside a traditional courtyard house and hear how Beijing families lived for centuries. Learn how several generations shared one home, how daily life was organized around the courtyard, and how the layout reflects traditional Chinese values of family, harmony, and hierarchy.
-
XianYuKou MeiShiJieThis historic street is home to many time-honored Beijing restaurants and classic local snack shops. We will try a local favorite dessert shop and stop by a traditional Peking duck restaurant to see how the duck is carefully prepared and roasted in a traditional oven (subject to store opening; viewing only, Peking duck not included).
-
Qianmen Main Street MallA lively commercial street lined with historic shops and traditional eateries that have served locals for generations. We will step into one of these century-old stores and discover how it has preserved its craftsmanship and reputation while remaining popular with both locals and visitors.
