On this tour, we'll wake up early and explore the culinary scene with our trusted vendors, your bilingual guide and a small group of new foodie friends.

Attractions and Activities: Hutong Tour (Ticket included) Heard about Beijing's hutong alleyways, but not sure what to do or where to go? Join us for breakfast as we sample the most authentic and delicious snacks that are hiding in plain sight, once you get off the crowded roads and into the backstreets. 2 hr(s)
Attractions and Activities: Lama Temple (Free entry) After we cross from Lama Temple, we'll see large Chinese gate not unlike those you find in Chinatowns around the world. We will follow the leafy hutong and pass both the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial Academy. This street was particularly important in China's history not only because it was one of the main centers of Confucian thought (at a time when Confucian philosophy was China's dominant ideology), but also because of the Imperial Academy next door. Any person who aspired to attain a government position anywhere in China was required to pass the Imperial Examination, which was held in the Imperial Academy. 30 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: Bei Jing Zhong Gu Lou (Free entry How to visit:No indoor visits) We'll end just a stone's throw from the famous Bell & Drum Towers. These were originally used to mark the hours of the day and are great places to get your bearings in Beijing as they are on the central axis of the city. When you're at the top of the Drum Tower, you will be able to look south and see the temple at the top of Jingshan Park.
