24 Hours Living in Beijing's Backstreets 🇨🇳

We reunited with our Hutong uncle in Beijing, China 🇨🇳

In today's video, we return to the Hutong for the first time since we met Douye, the amazing uncle who we met on our first visit to China. Since we loved the Hutong so much last time, we thought it was a great idea to actually stay inside a traditional Chinese Hutong home. We get to experience the authentic old Beijing courtyard home and reunite with our hutong uncle. We bring gifts for him and he prepared the famous Beijing hotpot, Shaunyangrou for us. He was excited to show us his former work and we cycled around the Hutong on his tricycle. After chatting, drinking a lot of Baijiu and eating delicious lamb we call it a night and head back to our humble hutong home. In the morning we enjoyed coffee in the courtyard before heading out for a staple beijing breakfast, Zhajiang Noodles.

After living in the Beijing Hutong for 24 hours, we can’t help but wish it was for 24 days. Huge thank you again to our uncle Douye, one of the most genuine people you will ever meet in the world.

Whether you’re from Newcastle for Beijing, we’re all the same.
