The experience

A hutong breakfast crawl through ten dishes with a foodie guide.

A small-group morning walking tour, capped at 10 guests, through a hutong neighbourhood most visitors miss, stopping at four or five family-run eateries for more than ten different breakfast dishes and drinks.

Along the route past Longfusi Street and Dongsi North Street, the guide explains how locals actually eat breakfast, with a stop at a local market to see what’s in season and a running commentary on the neighbourhood’s history.
