Overview

Step into a real Beijing courtyard, not a tourist restaurant, and learn to make dumplings from scratch with a local host who grew up in these hutongs. You’ll hear stories of Beijing’s hidden alleys, discover daily life behind the grey walls, and share a meal the way locals do. This is not just a cooking class, but a warm, hands-on culture exchange that connects you with the heartbeat of old Beijing.
