What To Expect
Your hutong gastronomic experience will take you to family home from pre-Hispanic food to contemporary cuisine, from 100 year old Mongolian hotpot to family operated BBQ; all this in a 3-hour stroll through the 1000-year-old historic hutongs. In the hutong alleys, you’ll see hutong stores, vegetable shops, and local residences and courtyards. Your guide will share the legends of this vibrant metropolis, helping you to travel through time, taking you to numerous restaurants to see and eat a lot of street delicilous food, some typical Family Noodles, Beijing Wraps, BBQ cooking, and tasting local beers including one pint of homemade draft beer or several Beijing sodas. At the last stop, you will have a cup of fresh hand-made yoghurt or frozen yoghurt pop. You’ll end your tour armed with recommendations for the rest of your trip and a happy and full stomach. Your guide will help you find your way back to your hotel or you can stay longer in the hutongs.
