Itinerary

  1. National Art Museum Of China

    30 min

    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.

  2. Stop 2

    30 min

    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.

  3. Stop 3

    30 min

    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.

  4. Stop 4

    30 min

    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)!
