Overview

Escape the tourist traps and delve into a lesser-known area where princes, nobles, and government procurement offices of the Qing Dynasty were once located in Xisi. Unlike popular spots like Gulou and Qianmen, this area may not be as familiar, ensuring a quieter experience with fewer tourists, especially on weekday mornings. Immerse yourself in the local culture by savouring beloved street foods and snacks as you stroll through this blend of modernity and tranquility. After sampling from 7 different stops, we'll hop on shared bikes for an exhilarating ride through Beijing's most beautiful avenue! Just a heads up - be prepared to feel quite full after this culinary adventure.

Activity itinerary

Xisi South Avenue
  • 30m
We will sample an array of local breakfast and street foods as snacks at 2 stops on Sixi South Avenue. Additionally, we will enjoy some local dessert for Chinese tea time along the way.
Zhengyang Shuju
  • 40m
Situated in a Beijing courtyard, Zhengyang Shuju houses a tower built in the Yuan Dynasty, dating back 800 years ago. While the courtyard may not be expansive, it holds a wealth of untold stories waiting to be uncovered. As part of the experience, we will have the opportunity to enjoy Chinese tea in the serene yard.
Xidan Mall(Xidan)
  • 1h
After sampling one of the most popular cold noodles for summer, we will explore another culinary delight - Malatang, the highly favoured street food in Northern China. At this cosy eatery, you can choose from over 30 varieties of vegetables and meats to customise your own unique flavour combinations.
Hutong Tour
  • 10m
One of Beijing's most beautiful Hutongs is Yidali Hutong. Yidali Hutong, once the residence of the Prince Xun in the early Qing Dynasty and later the betrothal residence of Yonghuang, Prince Qindan of Empress Dowager Chongqing, is a unique lane community. With Republic of China-style gateways and alleys, Yidali Hutong is a closed community beloved by tenants. Alley communities in Beijing often sprung up in vacant spaces of palaces and government offices; considering the high number of royal and noble families in the West City, many Hutongs were established. Noteworthy lanes within Yidali Hutong include Lequn Lane, Qinjian Lane, Fude Lane, and Cixiang Lane.
Hutong Tour
  • 30m
We will indulge in stuffed pancakess and aubergine boxes at a quaint eatery tucked away in a Hutong. Owned by a local Beijing family, this eatery has been serving customers for over a decade and remains a popular lunch spot in the area.
Wenjin Street
  • 20m
Considered one of the most picturesque avenues in Beijing, this is a must-see destination! The best way to explore this avenue is by bike. Beihai Park lies beneath the avenue, with the prominent white stupa visible in the distance on the left. On the right, you'll find Zhongnanhai, home to significant agencies.
Jiaolou
  • 5m
At Jiaolou, a corner of the Forbidden City, we will make a stop for photos as it offers a fantastic photo opportunity!
Wusi Avenue
  • 20m
For our final stop, treat yourself to a cup of coffee at the cafe, which was transformed from a bookshop. You can also browse and purchase books and souvenirs from the bookshop.
