Itinerary

Stop 1

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in one of our vintage sidecars. Depending on your hotel’s location, you may cruise past some of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks, such as Bell&Drum Tower, Houhai Lake, Qianmen Gate, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and more—offering a unique view of the city from the sidecar seat.

Stop 2

Our destination is the historic Baitasi (White Pagoda Temple) district, an atmospheric neighborhood rich with culture and charm. Unlike the heavily touristed areas of the city, Baitasi is a hidden gem, home to a maze of quiet hutongs that still preserve the authentic rhythm of old Beijing life. Here, you won’t find souvenir shops or commercial food stalls—instead, you’ll be immersed in a local community where generations of Beijingers live, eat, and connect.

Stop 3

Once we arrive, your sidecar journey transitions into a guided walking food tour. Led by our knowledgeable local guide, you’ll wander through narrow alleyways and stop at a carefully curated selection of family-run eateries and hidden food stalls. From savory dumplings and hand-pulled noodles to traditional Beijing snacks like zhajiangmian and crispy-fried treats, you’ll sample a range of flavors that represent the heart and soul of Beijing cuisine.

Stop 4

Along the way, you’ll also learn about the history of the area, the stories behind each dish, and gain insight into daily life in Beijing’s hutongs. Whether you’re a food lover, culture enthusiast, or just seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience, this tour combines adventure, flavor, and local heritage in the most memorable way.
Come hungry—and ready to explore Beijing as few ever get to.
