Get a glimpse into China's past with a ride through the historic hutongs of Beijing. Tour the traditional hutongs, which comprise a network of long, narrow alleyways, and epitomize the nature of living in the city of Beijing for centuries.

In this Beijing hutong tour, you will ride in a rickshaw, or pedicab, through the narrow streets of old Beijing. These hutongs are the old neighborhoods of Beijing, and they are still heavily populated by the local people, who live in the homes in the hutong alleyways. You will climb a bell tower and take in a bird's eye view of the hutong and the wealth of activity that occurs in it. While touring the hutong, you will also visit one of the homes of a Chinese family and learn about the traditions of hutong home life and its connection to the ancient past.

After the hutong sightseeing tour, you will stop at a local tea house selling authentic Chinese tea. This is the perfect ending to a short trip before being dropped back off at your hotel. The Beijing half day hutong tour will let you explore the more authentic parts of the city and see how many Chinese live with each other and their ancient history.
