These charismatic streets \u2013 known as hutongs \u2013 are a world removed from the shiny chrome and glass edifices that symbolise the contemporary capital. Here, political movements were fostered as well as advances in literature, costume and poetry. The streets have also traditionally been home to fascinating strands of Beijing society, with a host of colourful characters leaving their imprint. These immersive walking tours examine these themes, taking guests through the Dongcheng hutongs.
