Discover the culinary delights of Beijing on a 3.5-hour walking food tour through one of the city’s charming historical hutong neighborhoods. Stroll past food stalls along hutong alleys as a guide introduces you to savory specialties like a Chinese pork burger and fresh pancakes. Learn how items are produced and used in gourmet Chinese cooking, and top it all off with a glass of 'baijiu' (a local liquor). After initial food and drink tastings, you'll also visit the wet market. This small-group walking tour is limited to six people for a personalized experience. Select a morning or afternoon departure time when booking.
Your introduction to the art of Chinese cuisine starts as you meet your guide and set off on a leisurely walking tour of an off-the-beaten-path hutong neighborhood, stopping along the way at several food shops.
China is made up of several regions with distinct styles of cooking, and you'll hear about the ingredients used based on the natural and agricultural products of each region. Explore China through a culinary perspective by trying different styles of Chinese cooking. The exact itinerary varies based on your group’s preferences and the season; about 15 tastings are included.
Learn about the traditions behind the culinary scene as you walk with your foodie guide, who shares with you hutong history, information about Beijing culture, and tidbits about local life in this neighborhood. Stop at the traditional courtyard along the hutong to check out typical living quarters, and take a stroll through the wet market to explore local food sources, such as meats and fresh ingredients.
This tour is interactive—while you eat, your guide fills you in on a few final bits of local knowledge, gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and provides some tips and tricks for the rest of your time in the city of Beijing. Your tour finishes at a conveniently located spot where you can catch public transportation back to your hotel.
