WATCH A CHINESE CREPE MADE TO ORDER
Jianbing is becoming a worldwide phenomenon, but wait until you’ve tried the traditional Beijing snack – handmade in front of you!
WANDER THROUGH THE HUTONGS
These meandering alleyways bustle with local neighbourhood life. Check out the siheyuan (ancient courtyard) architecture and the morning markets down the lanes.
