• UnTour Beijing Food Tours - Our culinary walking tours are crafted to lead visitors away from the usual tourist spots and into genuine local eateries where they can dine alongside residents. Since 2010, UnTour Food Tours has guided thousands of guests to our beloved family-owned establishments. On this tour, participants will rise early to explore the culinary landscape with our trusted vendors, a bilingual guide, and a small group of fellow food enthusiasts. Over three hours, you’ll savor China’s 5,000 years of culinary heritage, sample new dishes, and develop an appreciation for the artisans crafting these handmade delicacies.
• Lama Temple (Yonghegong) - Meet your guide near the Lama Temple, and stroll through the hutongs behind the renowned sanctuary while enjoying the city’s most delectable breakfast treats.
• Hutong Tour - Curious about Beijing’s hutong alleyways but unsure where to start? Join us for breakfast as we taste the most genuine and delicious snacks hidden in plain sight, once you leave the bustling streets and venture into the back alleys.
• Temple of Confucius and Guozijian Museum - After crossing from the Lama Temple, we’ll encounter a large Chinese gate similar to those found in Chinatowns worldwide. We’ll follow the leafy hutong, passing both the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial Academy. This street held significant importance in China’s history, not only as a central hub of Confucian thought (when Confucian philosophy was the dominant ideology in China) but also due to the adjacent Imperial Academy. Anyone aspiring to a government position in China had to pass the Imperial Examination, conducted at the Imperial Academy.
• Bell and Drum Towers - We’ll conclude just a short distance from the renowned Bell & Drum Towers. Originally used to mark the hours of the day, these towers are excellent landmarks for orienting yourself in Beijing, as they are located on the city’s central axis. From the top of the Drum Tower, you can look south and see the temple atop Jingshan Park.

Visitors to the capital are encouraged to take a walk through Beijing’s Hutongs. However, city dwellers are aware that these lanes are as numerous as ‘an ox’s hairs’ across the city. The optimal means of acquainting oneself with the most picturesque snaking alleys, which are locally viewed as home, is by phenomenally dining through them. This is particularly true at spontaneous breakfast spots that vanish post the morning rush. In this excursion, you’ll unite with your multilingual escort and small cohort at an accessible place, subsequently embarking to sample conventional dawn meals alongside the locals who are fond of them.
