Escape the main avenues and dive into the real Beijing on this immersive 3-hour small-group walking tour. Your adventure begins in the historic Drum Tower area. Follow your knowledgeable local guide through a maze of ancient hutongs. Your first stop is Yao Ji Chao Gan, where you'll feast on their famous, steaming Pork & Scallion Buns. Then, wander down the lively Yandai Xiejie, cross the picturesque Yinding Bridge, and learn about the history of Beijing's beloved Zhajiangmian noodles as you pass by Fangzhuanchang Hutong. The journey continues as you trace the path of the 700-year-old Grand Canal at the Yuhe River Site and discover the surprising blend of East and West at Great Leap Brewing, hidden in Doujiao Hutong. Step into the serene and beautifully restored Songzhu Temple & Zhizhu Temple complex to hear its remarkable story of preservation. Feel the pulse of daily life at the vibrant Zhaojunsheng Market. We'll finish not in a tourist restaurant, but at a beloved local halal eatery, Zengshengkui, right next to the market. Sink your teeth into a perfectly flaky Beef Pie and a sweet, crispy Fried Cake—a truly authentic way to end your Beijing food adventure.
