Experience Details

Escape the tourist traps and delve into a lesser-known area where princes, nobles, and government procurement offices of the Qing Dynasty were once located in Xisi. Unlike popular spots like Gulou and Qianmen, this area may not be as familiar, ensuring a quieter experience with fewer tourists, especially on weekday mornings. Immerse yourself in the local culture by savoring beloved street foods and snacks as you stroll through this blend of modernity and tranquility. After sampling from 7 different stops, we'll hop on shared bikes for an exhilarating ride through Beijing's most beautiful avenue! Just a heads up - be prepared to feel quite full after this culinary adventure.

Hutong Tour

One of Beijing's most beautiful Hutongs is Yidali Hutong. Yidali Hutong, once the residence of the Prince Xun in the early Qing Dynasty and later the betrothal residence of Yonghuang, Prince Qindan of Empress Dowager Chongqing, is a unique lane community. With Republic of China-style gateways and alleys, Yidali Hutong is a closed community beloved by tenants. Alley communities in Beijing often sprung up in vacant spaces of palaces and government offices; considering the high number of royal and noble families in the West City, many Hutongs were established. Noteworthy lanes within Yidali Hutong include Lequn Lane, Qinjian Lane, Fude Lane, and Cixiang Lane.
10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
