This evening walking tour ventures into Beijing’s atmospheric hutongs, the narrow grey-brick alleys that make up the old city. A local guide leads the way past courtyard homes, drum towers and lantern-lit lanes, stopping to sample street-food specialities such as jianbing, lamb skewers and local snacks. Along the way the guide explains the history and daily rhythms of hutong life, offering an intimate, flavour-filled look at a fast-disappearing side of the capital.
