Disoriented in the Orient - Hutong Scavenger Hunt

  • Beijing Postcards Beijing Postcards, No. 97 Yangmeizhu Byway, Xicheng District Beijing China (map)

Learn Beijing history on the run!

Join us on our Hutong Scavenger Hunt on the doorstep of the old city!

Navigate through the multi-layered history of Beijing and walk in the footsteps of warlords, red guards, imperial officials, and prostitutes with tiny lily feet, to explore the old cultural melting pot of the Dashilar district. Pay attention as you pass by Qing dynasty mansions, Republican opium dens, communist factory halls, and Beijing’s first stock exchange..., you will meet local residents that all have a story to tell.

You don’t need to have prior knowledge of history or Chinese language skills to take part, but the clock will be ticking as you desperately try to make sense of it all...


Where to start: Beijing Postcards, No. 97 Yangmeizhu Byway (杨梅竹斜街97号)

Cost: 300RMB/person; 150RMB/child
