Itinerary Quick Look

We’re happy to tailor this private tour of Beijing to match your interests. Please note that the time frame is for reference only and may vary due to traffic conditions on the day of your tour.

Your tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge.

Shijia Hutong Museum

Shijia Hutong Museum is a historically significant cultural heritage site in Beijing that provides an in-depth look into the traditional lifestyle and history of the city’s iconic hutongs. Through carefully curated exhibits, visitors can explore the unique hutong architecture, discover how local residents lived in these narrow alleyways, and understand the evolution of hutong life from ancient times to modern Beijing. The museum features interactive displays, historical artifacts, old photographs, and detailed reconstructions, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Beijing’s cultural history, hutong tours, and traditional Chinese architecture.

Beijing Local Market

Discover the ancient secrets of Chinese cuisine during a guided visit to a bustling local market in Beijing. Here, you can learn about and handpick fresh ingredients for traditional Chinese dishes. Venture further to a nearby food market, immersing yourself in the vibrant sights, aromas, and flavors of authentic Beijing street food culture. As you browse through stalls brimming with fresh produce, your guide will provide fascinating insights into the wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and local specialties. After purchasing your ingredients, your tour guide will help you arrange a taxi (at your own expense) to your hotel or the restaurant of your choice, but will not accompany you on the ride.
