Overview

Embark on a fantastic culinary adventure, delving into Beijing's historic Hutongs. In these winding alleyways, traditional flavors collide with vibrant street food culture, composing a unique gastronomic symphony for you. Begin your journey by encountering the iconic Peking Roast Duck. Its crispy skin gleams with an enticing luster, and with a gentle bite, it crackles, releasing tender and juicy duck meat that instantly melts in your mouth. Every bite fulfills your wildest culinary fantasies. Pair it with a glass of Baijiu, a potent Chinese liquor, that perfectly balances the richness of the roast duck, stimulating even more flavorful layers and immersing you in this classic Beijing combination. Afterward, dive headfirst into the steaming world of涮羊肉 (Shuan Yang Rou, or Hot Pot Lamb). In a copper pot, the charcoal fire is blazing, and clear broth or rich sesame sauce broth bubbles merrily. Tender slices of lamb, as thin as cicada wings, quickly change color with a gentle swirl in the pot. Dip them in sesame sauce seasoning for an explosion of fresh fragrance. Cabbage, glass noodles, crown daisy, and other vegetables also tumble in the pot, absorbing the meaty aroma. At this moment, enjoy an ice-cold beer, letting your taste buds dance between hot and cold sensations. Shuan Yang Rou and beer are a match made in heaven, warming you from your taste buds to the depths of your heart. Sample the dazzling array of street food along the way. As the journey nears its end, a Yunnan-style culinary delight brings this gourmet feast to a satisfying close. Slippery rice noodles, golden and crispy fried dumplings, and tofu skewers covered in spicy seasonings, paired with sweet rice wine, will give your taste buds a unique surprise as they transition between northern and southern flavors. When booking your trip, you can choose to join an exclusive small group of up to 12 people, sharing the joy of delicious food amid the laughter of fellow travelers; or you can opt for a private tour, enjoying exclusive hotel pick-up and drop-off services, making your culinary journey even more comfortable and worry-free.
