Overview

Join this 2.5-hour evening walking tour around the most famous hutong to explore China’s diverse food heritage and Beijing’s old-and-new charm.

We start at Qianmen Foodie Hub, sampling signature snacks from across China, including Northeast sweet fried pork, Beijing door-nail meat pie, Fujian meat swallow and Northwest camel meat. Just one meal for full-round Chinese Cuisine Culture.

Next, visit time-honored Du Yichu to try classic dumplings paired with vinegar, the soul of Chinese dumplings.

We then step into Liubiju Museum, home to a well-preserved Ming ancient well. Learn the legend of this centuries-old pickle brand and listen to fascinating hutong tales as we wander quiet alleyways.

The tour finishes at PageOne bookstore in Beijing Fang. Admire breathtaking night views of Beijing Central Axis through large glass windows.

This small guided walk blends delicious food, local history and iconic city night scenery. Perfect for travelers who want genuine local experiences.

Things to note

- If you have severe allergies (especially to peanuts, gluten, or dairy), or you need gluten-free food, or you are a vegan, etc. It's fine to book this trip, as we have so diversed food culture here in China, I will find the delicious and suitable food for you!
- Please bring some cash if you don't have Alipay or WeChat Pay.
- Worried about ordering? Don’t be! I’ll handle the ordering. We split the cost of the shared food at the food court (usually around 30-60 RMB per person), allowing you to try 4 to 7 different regional dishes without wasting food.

How can the tour be free?

Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.

Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.

Cancellation policy

You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
