Itinerary
Explore a Local Market: Step into this factory-turned-market brimming with fresh veggies, spices, and neatly sliced meat. We’ll make a stop at Aunt Jie’s stall for some zongzi: glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with seasoned pork and wrapped in bamboo leaves – handmade from her family’s generations-old recipe.
Brace Yourself for Douzhi: This tangy, fermented mung bean soup might just top your personal “weirdest foods” list (love it or hate it, you won’t forget it!). This popular spot has earned a Michelin nod and is the place to get a true taste of Beijing’s boldest tradition.
Discover Beijing Comfort Food: Meet Mr. Yu who serves up childhood memories in the form of crispy sesame flatbread stuffed with cured beef, alongside a warming bowl of tofu pudding – proof that good taste never goes out of style.
Learn Hidden Hutong Secrets Wander historic lanes and discover the secrets hidden in doorway pillars made of stone, the meaning of color-coded street signs, and how to tell how many families live inside each courtyard (plus so much more)!

Grace was very pleasant and the restaurants/ stalls we visited all had delicious food. Grace always made sure that everyone in the group get their spice tolerance level.

This tour was absolutely incredible! Winnie our guide was so kind and informative. She went out of her way to make us feel so taken care of. The food was delicious at every stop, and we learned lot of interesting history about Beijing, China, and the Hutongs.

About Beijing
Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.
At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.
Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
