Hutong is an ancient alley or lane typical of Beijing. As the city develops, its traditional hutongs are disappearing quickly. Hutongs wind through local residences, exposing years of tradition & history. Some are older than 700 years. A bike is the best choice to explore these timeless mazes surrounding the Forbidden city. I know the name of each alleyway, and share the unique history hidden within. You'll learn the code to identify the resident's rank and prosperity. You'll explore courtyards, Antique Street, Beijing's lakes and Drum Tower. Compared with the Imperial Bike Tour, Bike Hutong explores civilian Beijing, telling the story of growth and change, daily local life from ancient to present.
During the Hutong bike tour, we can visit the Ancient Residential Area, Old Hutongs, Lakes, Drum Tower and Bell TowerCelebrities's Residences, Ancient Streets Nanluoguxiang, Local daily Life
