Why take this tour?

As a girl who grew up in a former Prince Mansion (although I am not a Princess :) I feel very attached to Ancient Chinese Architecture and have explored many hidden gems in Beijing. They are like my old house. Many "old houses" are disappearing in Beijing, together with hutongs. I want to share with you its beauty, the way of life and the heartwarming people in the hutongs! Note: 1% of the payment we receive from this experience will go to support Beijing Cultural Heritage Protection Center (CHP), a NGO that help residents to preserve their cultural heritage.

What’s included?

  • A variety of local traditional snacks

  • Priviliged visits to my friends' homes at Uncle Zhu, Uncle Wang or Grandpa Li's.

  • Give a try to dissemble and assemble the Dougong parts, one of the most significant elements of the Chinese Architecture

  • Natural traditional Chinese tea

  • Entry/Admission - Dongsi Hutong

About operator:

Hello, I am Yuhua Bi, a hutong NERD (hutong, the magical lanes of Beijing!), Mom of two kids, and founder of the Beijing Way Experience. I worked at Fortune 500 companies. My life totally changed after I gave birth to my two girls. I had a valuable opportunity to take time off from my busy life. While exploring hutongs in Beijing, I became fascinated by so many interesting things and amazing people ! Now I would really love to share them with you!
