Breakfast Food Tour
Explore a Local Market: Step into this factory-turned-market brimming with fresh veggies, spices, and neatly sliced meat. We’ll make a stop at Aunt Jie’s stall for some zongzi: glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with seasoned pork and wrapped in bamboo leaves – handmade from her family’s generations-old recipe.
Brace Yourself for Douzhi: This tangy, fermented mung bean soup might just top your personal “weirdest foods” list (love it or hate it, you won’t forget it!). This popular spot has earned a Michelin nod and is the place to get a true taste of Beijing’s boldest tradition.
Discover Beijing Comfort Food: Meet Mr. Yu who serves up childhood memories in the form of crispy sesame flatbread stuffed with cured beef, alongside a warming bowl of tofu pudding – proof that good taste never goes out of style.
