Description
This is not a typical food tour. It’s a cultural walk that explores Beijing through everyday food, focusing on why locals eat what they eat and what it reveals about hutong life.
Food plays a central role in daily life in Beijing’s hutongs, but it is rarely just about taste.
On this cultural walking experience, you’ll explore how everyday dishes reflect history, social structure, and the rhythms of local life.
Walking through traditional hutong neighborhoods with a local guide, you’ll encounter small, meaningful food stops that locals rely on in their daily routines. Rather than visiting well-known restaurants, the focus is on understanding how and why certain foods became part of everyday life — and why some traditions survived while others disappeared.
Along the way, food tastings are used as cultural examples, helping explain family structures, work patterns, and changes in Beijing society over time. With a small group and a storytelling-based approach, this experience offers context and insight you won’t find in guidebooks or standard sightseeing tours.
