🌟 Key Points
Start your evening adventure by meeting your guide and small group (max 12 guests) at Beixinqiao Station at 7:00 PM. From there, head to the eastern end of Ghost Street (Guijie)—one of Beijing’s most iconic late-night food streets. Your guide will introduce its legends and show you why locals flock here for after-dark bites.
Then, slip off the main road and into the hidden alleyways of Old Beijing’s hutong neighborhoods. These maze-like lanes are full of mom-and-pop eateries and culinary secrets that tourists rarely find.
Along the way, you’ll make multiple food stops. Sit elbow-to-elbow with Beijingers while sampling hand-stuffed dumplings, Mongolian-style hotpot, and Beijing’s famous sauced meat. Enjoy cold local beer and classic street snacks prepared just the way they’ve been for generations.
Your food journey ends with a tasting flight at Nuoyan Rice Wine Shop, a boutique mijiu producer. Sample six types of rice wine, including osmanthus, rose, and their signature original brew.
Throughout the 3-hour tour, your guide shares insights on Beijing’s culinary roots—from imperial cuisine to Silk Road influences. Afterward, they’ll help you return to your hotel or recommend more foodie stops nearby.
