Beijing, the capital of China is a wondrous city with even wonderful past. Hutong Bike Tour is an interesting event in the Beijing trip itinerary. "Hutong" is an ancient alley or lane typical of Beijing. Hutongs wind through local residences, exposing years of tradition and history. Some are more than 700 years old. As the city grows manifold, the hutongs are fast disappearing. Many of them were razed to ground during Beijing Olympics in 2008. A bike is the best choice to explore these timeless mazes surrounding the Forbidden city. The guides of the Hutong Bike Tour know the names of each alleyway, and share the unique history with the tourists. One gets to learn the code to identify the resident’s rank and prosperity. Do explore courtyards, Antique Street, Beijing’s lakes and Drum Tower.
Hutong Bike Tour explores the ever evolving Beijing, telling the story of growth and change, and daily local life from ancient to the present.
Your hutong bike tour allows you to explore the old and traditional area of north Beijing and starts with Chengxian Street ( some part of the street is also called Guozijian Street), west of Lama Temple; passing by the Confucius Temple and Guozijian (Imperial College).

Do experience some typical hutongs in the Shichahai area like Da Jinsi Hutong Tao that ends at Nanluoguxiang Hutong. The sites are famous for their scenic beauty too.
