Xili

Step into Xili and dive into Beijing's most authentic hutong life! This hidden gem amidst the bustling city blends gray-brick courtyards with alleyways steaming with the aroma of Douzhi (fermented bean drink). Grab a candied hawthorn stick from a street vendor or slurp a bowl of savory fried liver on a tiny stool – it's the locals' way to taste the real heartbeat of old Beijing!
