Description
Choose between two tour options: meet your guide directly at Shichahai without transfers, or book private round-trip hotel pick-up and drop-off service. Follow your guide to Shichahai Lake, a historic waterfront district dotted with traditional local dwellings, and take a relaxed walk along its lakeshore. Then arrive at Yandai Xiejie, a time-honored slanted street lined with unique handmade craft shops for casual browsing. Next we reach Drum & Bell Tower Square, Beijing’s top historic photo spot, where you will learn the ancient timekeeping history of the two towers. Continue to wander twisting quiet hutong lanes with your guide and hear vivid stories about local residents’ daily lives. We will then head to a renowned hidden hutong restaurant to taste crispy authentic Peking duck. Afterwards we stroll through Nanluoguxiang, an old lane blending classic architecture and fashionable boutique stores, and finally arrive at a secret riverside hutong beer bar. Hidden inside a tranquil lane, this lively spot is popular among young locals and offers a wide selection of fresh draft beers. Your guided walking experience ends here; travelers with transfer service can return to their hotel with the driver, while everyone is free to stay longer and explore nearby hutongs independently.Includes
