Description:

Explore the cultural hutong area in Beijing and enjoy a traditional rickshaw ride along narrow streets and alleys. Discover an intricate web of densely populated corridors that offers a unique insight into the secret life of Beijing.

Be picked up from your hotel and proceed to the hutongs—old streets—of Beijing. Explore the area, starting with a traditional rickshaw ride—still popular among the locals—in the hutongs of the Old Town. Be comfortable and stop anytime during your ride to snap some pictures.

Move along the alleys and take a short cut to the 220-foot (67-m) high Drum Tower. Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the surrounding communities of hutongs and siheyuans, traditional Beijing courtyards.

Visit a local household and make a cultural exchange with the family while appreciating the architecture and lifestyle of people in this area. Complete your day with a traditional Chinese lunch before making your way back to your hotel.
