Join CCC's Back-Street-Beijing Walking Tour to explore hutongs (alleys and courtyard house neighborhood) and visit local residents near the Beijing Railway Station and a Methodist Church, then meander in the tree lined up Boulevard Taijichang and Zhengyi Lu. Then we will explore the old Beijing Legation Quarter, which was the area where a number of foreign legations were located between 1861 and 1959. We will view the buildings of former European and American banks, barracks, churches and clubs. The tour ends at the so called New Legation Quarter - the 103-year-old former U.S. embassy compound, which has been converted into a luxurious dining, arts and entertainment venue.
