    2. Di'anmen

      We will sample some typical Han majority cuisine at a restaurant opened in 1953, which was one of the first commercial restaurants established since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

    3. Bell and Drum Towers

      The Beijing Drum and Bell Towers, located at No. 9 Zhonglouwan, Dongcheng District, were the timekeeping centers during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The Drum Tower, originally built in 1272 and rebuilt in 1420 and 1539, stands 46.7 meters tall with two stories and striking red paint. It features a double-eave wooden structure and houses 25 large drums.

    4. We will sample Beijing traditional street food (Dalian Baked Bun), and Mongolian BBQ in two restaurants. The history of Dalian Baked Bun dates back to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. We often confuse pot stickers with Dalian Baked Bun. In fact, pot stickers have a shape similar to the dumplings we often eat, while the appearance of Dalian Baked Bun resembles the cloth bags that Northern people used to carry when going out to markets in the past. Particularly when made with softer dough, when picked up by chopsticks from the middle, the two ends droop down, hence the name.

    5. Great Leap Brewing Original #6

      The tour will end at a brewery hidden in a Hutong. You will try local craft beer here. Pace yourself and enjoy the nightlife in Beijing.

    Hutongs of Shichahai

    This area is a very beautiful comprising three serene lakes (Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai), is the soul of the itinerary. Wandering through these narrow alleyways is a delight for the senses. You'll see traditional courtyard homes (siheyuans), witness daily life unfolding—children playing, neighbors chatting, the smell of delicious food wafting from hidden kitchens. As evening falls, the area around Houhai transforms, with soft lantern light reflecting on the water and a lively atmosphere emanating from its many bars and restaurants. It’s the perfect blend of timeless tradition and modern vitality.

    Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 3.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Dinner; Bottled water; and Local Guide - English Language. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour?

    +

    In front of Exit/Entrance C of Shichahai Station, Line 8 Subway. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Beijing Shichahai Hutong Dinner and Beer Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +
