Hutongs by Rickshaw & Tea Ceremony (PRIVATE TOUR)

Rickshaw Ride The word “hutong” refers to the narrow network of lanes created by closely built quadrangular homes. Once the primary architectural feature of China’s capital city, hutongs now make up only a small fraction of Beijing, having been replaced by high-rise buildings in recent years. Recapture the feeling of Beijing’s past from the wooden seat of a traditional rickshaw, and visit a local family’s courtyard home along the way.

Tea Ceremony Learn about the many and varied types of Chinese tea and the equally varied ways to drink them in this tea appreciation class. You will sample several types of tea in a local teahouse and see that there is indeed a different tea for every occasion.
