Beijing Rickshaw Tour – Discover the Hutongs and Old Beijing

Step back in time and discover the traditional side of Beijing on a rickshaw tour through the city's historic Hutongs.

While Beijing is known for its modern buildings, busy avenues and world-famous landmarks, the Hutongs offer a fascinating glimpse into the city's traditional neighborhoods and everyday local life.

Ride through narrow alleyways, discover traditional courtyard homes and explore the streets where generations of Beijing residents have lived. A Beijing rickshaw tour is one of the most relaxing and memorable ways to experience the charm of old Beijing.

Whether you are visiting Beijing for the first time, looking for a cultural experience or have limited time during an airport layover, a private Hutong rickshaw tour can be customized around your schedule.
