Details

No other city in the entire world has hutongs. What does that tell you? That you should go see them of course!

These ancient, labyrinthine alleyways are where ‘real’ Beijing life happens! To help you navigate some of the city's most interesting bits, we’ll fix you up with Frank, an old Beijinger who has lived in the hutongs his entire life.

You will then be taken you to meet a local cricket trainer. Yes you read that correctly. This colourful local character actually trains crickets and grasshoppers to fight in local competitions. A fascinating insight into a bizarre Chinese sport you won’t forget in a hurry!

Itinerary

Explore Drum and Bell Tower Square and the surrounding area.

Includes: Rickshaw Ride through the Hutongs (including the tips) and a demonstration by Beijing’s resident cricket trainer.
