Top Beijing Holidays and Seasonal Packages

Go off the beaten path in Beijing to visit a hutong (traditional-style neighborhood) with a private guide for an authentic experience of local Chinese cuisine and the rich culture of old Beijing. Sample more than 20 different dishes at small eateries including locally owned shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Meet the owners and learn about Chinese culinary customs on this half-day tour including all food tastings.

Beijing’s food culture is incredibly rich, but the most memorable meals are rarely found along the main tourist streets. This guided dinner tour takes you deep into Old Beijing to walk through one of the city’s remaining hutong (narrow lane) neighborhoods and dine at local, family-run spots known mainly to residents. Instead of guessing where to go, follow an insider route to sample traditional dishes and experience the flavors that have shaped Beijing’s everyday life for generations.
