Your guide will meet you by Shichahai Lake and lead you into the ancient hutongs. You'll walk through narrow alleys lined with traditional siheyuan courtyards, see local residents going about daily life, and hear stories of old Beijing. Along the way, spot the Drum and Bell Towers, cross Yinding Bridge, and enjoy the serene lake view. This is a perfect introduction to Beijing’s authentic hutong culture.

Visit the Mei Lanfang Memorial, the former home of China's greatest Peking Opera master. Housed in a classic Beijing siheyuan courtyard, you'll see his original living room, study, stage costumes, and rare photos.
