Experience Flow
09:00
Hutong Community Walk
Non-touristy lanes (Mao’er /菊儿 area). Architecture stories, courtyard culture, the unwritten rules of Beijing neighbourhood life.
10:10
Local Breakfast
Doujhi, jianbing, baozi at a stall with no English menu. The reaction to doujhi is always the highlight.
10:50
Private Tea Ceremony
A private teahouse, not a commercial one. Slow ritual. First emotional peak of the day.
11:40
Temple Park Tai Chi
Watch neighbourhood elders for 5 minutes, then join in. Nobody judges imperfection — that’s the whole point.
12:30
Reflection & Farewell
Small gift (tea leaves or handwritten card). Guided reflection on the morning.
