Beijing's Hutongs, a tapestry of narrow alleyways and traditional courtyard residences, are ancient neighborhoods that have endured for centuries. They offered us a rare glimpse into Beijing's past.

During our week in Beijing, we delved into the Hutongs' labyrinth and uncovered hidden gems. We savored authentic flavors, like crispy jianbing (煎饼), and tried millet mush (面茶) in off-the-beaten-path streets. Our exploration also led us to the Hutongs' bustling commercial markets and the vibrant nightlife at Shichahai (什刹海). Embrace this adventure with us and discover the heart of Beijing's history and traditions!
