Beijing’s dinner-time cuisine is more than the crowded tourist markets that often feature novelty snacks. On this small-group food tour you’ll explore traditional dishes in a neighbourhood Hutong, eating shoulder-to-shoulder with Beijingers as evening life unfolds. You’ll meet your bilingual guide and the rest of the group at a convenient location, then head out together to taste foods that Chinese chefs have been perfecting for thousands of years.

Along the way you’ll sample a range of local flavours and get a feel for everyday dining in a Hutong neighbourhood. The experience focuses on authentic, time-honoured dishes rather than tourist curiosities, and gives you the chance to savour food where locals go and to enjoy the atmosphere of an ordinary Beijing evening.
