Xinshijie West Side Road, Chongwenmen, Dongcheng, Beijing, China
Visit an ancient quarter of Beijing, whose traditional alleyways known as hutong are being preserved. Your expert local guide will explain how traditional life and modern ways are merging as you witness two very different sides of the city. Explore an outdoor market and a bustling residential neighborhood on foot and then climb into pedicabs and travel along the lakeside to an affluent area, where you can see how China’s new wealthy have restored traditional courtyard homes. The tour ends with the opportunity to learn calligraphy.
