Old Beijing Hutongs Private Half Day Tour by Rickshaw
starts from
$94
Description
Ride a traditional rickshaw as you explore old Beijing. Stroll along hutongs (alleyways) and see what Beijing was like before tall buildings and skyscrapers. Climb a bell tower overlooking the city! Hutongs are narrow lanes or alleyways that crawl through traditional houses and connect neighborhoods in China. They are most prominent in Beijing. In recent years, these hutongs are fast disappearing, with China's economic growth paving the way for high-rise buildings and apartment complexes. Join this tour for a look at the old city and let a rickshaw ride show you fragments of the past dissolving into the present. Talk to a local family and find out what life in Beijing is like then climb a bell tower to see a bird's-eye view of a community that may soon be swept away by change.
