RomanticFine Rice Wine Tasting in a Hidden Hutong
Duration: 1 hour

With a much softer and sweeter flavor than Chinese Baijiu, rice wine is widely appreciated by Chinese people. In just the same way that wine tasting is a must when visiting Bordeaux, trying rice wine when visiting China is a great way to relax and experience a beloved local drink.
Located in a hidden hutong, which is a traditional Chinese alleyway, Nuoyan Rice Wine House offers a pleasant atmosphere where travelers can taste traditional rice wine.
Nuoyan in Chinese means 'promise' and the wine house got its name because of a promise made by the brewer to his girlfriend. You will be served five to six different flavors of rice wine. This experience is perfect for couples who can sip wine together while listening to the brewer's love story. By the end of this experience, you may have forgotten that you are a tourist in this city.

Trip to Beijing
I spent a couple of excellent days in Beijing thank to this agency and my private guide Ivy! An adorable journey, I swear! If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of historical Beijing, here’s the place to address! I can’t recommend it enough. Ivy was just adorable, she woke up my curiosity with her methods of leading me through the historical time line by challenging my imagination and rationality at the same time. All the facts were given in the context which I especially appreciate, she had the answers to all of my questions, and moreover she knew what made me ask them! The service was 10/10. The driver and the guide were both very patient, resourceful and attentive to their clients problems and little suggestions. It literally took them 1 day to organize everything for me as I decided to go to Beijing at the very last moment; every single member of the China highlights team was attentive to my needs and wishes. more
