Learn Beijing history on the run!

Join us on the day of the Moon Festival to participate in 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 Republican brothels, communist factory halls, Qing dynasty mansions, 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...
