Itinerary Quick Look
Beijing Evening Food & Slow Boat Brewery Tour: A Taste of Local Flavors & Culture
1. Tour Kick-Off: Convenient Hotel Meeting (6:00 PM)
Your unforgettable Beijing evening begins with a hassle-free meeting at 6:00 PM in the lobby of your city center hotel. Meet your friendly, knowledgeable guide, who will brief you on the night’s adventure before you set off together toward the historic hutong neighborhoods—where Beijing’s old-world charm and delicious street food await.
2. Historic Hutong Exploration & Street Food Feast
Step into the labyrinth of Beijing’s hutongs, where time seems to slow down. These narrow alleyways, lined with traditional courtyard houses (siheyuan), are the soul of old Beijing, offering a vivid glimpse into local life away from the bustling modern streets.
History Snapshot: Beijing’s hutongs date back over 800 years to the Yuan Dynasty, serving as the residential backbone of the imperial capital for centuries.
Must-Try Local Eats on the Route
-
Barbecue Kabobs: Sink your teeth into juicy, charcoal-grilled skewers with a variety of mouthwatering options—tender beef, fragrant lamb, savory chicken hearts, crisp veggies, and more. The smoky aroma wafting from the stalls is impossible to resist!
-
Stinky Tofu (For Adventurous Eaters): A beloved (and polarizing) street food classic! Fermented to perfection, it boasts a pungent aroma that gives way to a crispy exterior and silky interior—perfect for brave foodies looking to try authentic local flavors.
-
Ma La Tang (Sichuan-Style Hot Pot Skewers): Warm up with a bowl of this fiery, flavorful Sichuan specialty. Pick 5-8 of your favorite ingredients—from tender meat skewers to fresh veggies—then watch them cook in a bubbling, spicy (or mild, if you prefer) broth. Wash it all down with a cold beer or soft drink for the ultimate comfort food experience.
-
Guilin Mi Fen (Rice Noodles): Slurp up a bowl of this comforting local favorite, made with silky rice noodles simmered in rich pork bone broth, topped with fresh greens and crunchy peanuts. A staple for Beijingers craving a light yet satisfying bite.
3. Huguosi Food Street: A Nostalgic Snack Haven
Next, head to Huguosi Food Street—Beijing’s iconic snack paradise. Once adjacent to the historic Huguosi Temple, this street has evolved into a food lover’s mecca, where you’ll sample a curated set menu of 12 classic Beijing snacks.
History Snapshot: Huguosi Temple, first built in the Liao Dynasty, was a prominent Buddhist temple; its surrounding area transformed into a bustling food street as locals and pilgrims gathered there for centuries.
Highlights of the snack set include:
-
Douzhi: A unique Beijing beverage made from mung beans, with a tart, earthy flavor similar to soy milk but with a distinct twist—an acquired taste beloved by locals.
-
Jiaoquan: Crispy, golden, and ring-shaped (like an onion ring, but with no onion!), this crunchy snack is the perfect pairing for douzhi.
-
Preserved Vegetables: Tangy, savory preserved veggies that add a zesty kick to your snack spread.
4. Slow Boat Brewery Taproom: Local Craft Beer & Camaraderie
After satisfying your food cravings, it’s time to unwind at Slow Boat Brewery Taproom—Beijing’s most renowned craft brewery bar. Rub shoulders with locals and fellow travelers as you sip on fresh, aromatic craft beer straight from the tap.
History Snapshot: Slow Boat Brewery, founded in 2011, is a pioneer of Beijing’s craft beer scene, bringing artisanal, locally brewed beer to the city’s beverage lovers.
What makes Slow Boat special? They offer the largest selection of craft beer in Beijing, all brewed on-site without preservatives or chemicals—just pure, high-quality beer proudly made in the heart of Beijing. Enjoy every sip as you soak up the lively, friendly atmosphere.
5. Tour Conclusion: Flexible Return to Hotel
As the evening comes to an end, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel. If you’re not ready to call it a night and want to linger longer at Slow Boat Brewery Taproom, your guide will happily see you off there, ensuring you have a stress-free and enjoyable end to your tour.
