We stayed at the Ron Yard Hotel down Huguosi alley so this was our local food area. Lots of great local food. Number 40 has good dumplings, number 50 specializes in local specialties. At the end of Huguosi the pedestrian street ends and there is a major road. Cross at the intersection and go to the large restaurant on the far corner with its phone number posted in yellow numbers. We ate there three times in one week. Could not discover the name of the place but their food was excellent. Half a Peking Duck with pancakes and trimmings, only 55 yuan, enough for two. Delicious. Picture menu made it possible to order and staff was anxious to please. They will do take out orders, if you want. This is the real deal. When we returned the third time, staff gathered for a photo. Not a word of English was exchanged and we do not speak Chinese except for words from our phrasebook but we felt that an interesting connection had been made.
Later, one of the hotel staff told us that the restaurant might be called OLD BEIJING but we did not see a name in English at all. Worth the effort to find it.

This hiutong street was a great find , full of typical chinese little restaurants , some specialising in a particular dish . The street has a lot of history; apparently 900 years of it . It's quite centrally located near shichahai and houhai tourist areas ( you can walk to them ) but its less touristy and much more local . The Huguosi street is full of people walkiing .altough not officially a pedestrian street , there are very few cars because of all the people walking on it. On another street right next to huguosi there is a row of shops that sell all sorts of musical instruments, very cool .
subway station Pinganli is just around the corner . I would recommend a visit to this street if you want to feel the real atmosphere of Bejing and its Beijingers .

Huguosi Hutong Snack Street was quite surprising in that, on the day we visited, there seemed to be no tourists visiting this street. The snacks available along this street were unique and very much designed for the local tastes. There were small cafes serving local dishes rather than food such as meat on a stick or ice cream. We tasted a couple of filled buns that were filled with cheese and vegetables and they were tasty without being overly oily. They were also very cheap.

Walking past the different stalls presents a host of different smells and of course also tastes. A perfect stroll after a meal.

In the Hutong area you will experience the real life of the Beijing still people living in this narrow streets and alleys. Don't take a rickshaw tour, just walk and look around, but watch your wallet.

This is an ancient street with a history of over 800 years from the Yuan dynasty. The street is not very long and is worth a visit with its many food stalls and restaurants selling snacks and local food. There are also boutiques and shops selling antiques and souvenirs. A nice place to take in the sights and smells of local food.

A well-know place in Beijing, especially for their sweet snacks and good. HuGuoSi is not a very big hutong (maybe a couple of streets only), but you can still smell the history that surrounds this place: HuGuo (Country Protection) temple was dismantled many years ago, this is the place were soldiers gather to pray before their battles. There are not remnants opened to the public today (so bad..). Recommended for trend-setters and foodies. There are many good restaurants within this area, try some! Rec

My first visit to Huguosi Hutong was during a day trip to Beijing. The guide explained that this area is famous for delicacies, specially Beijing’s unique traditional snacks. I did not like the restaurant the guide picked, so I decided to go back to this street the next day. I had time to discover this hutong on my own and experience many different types of foods. For some you have to be a bit more adventurous, but most of the dishes I tried were very good. After filling up my stomach, I walked around this area..which is really cute and shows the original look of Beijing. I can really recommend this area for a real Beijing experience- food and lifestyle wise.
